CURRENTLY APRIL

A little jump on the month...
How much are you dreading April Fools tomorrow...
I AM or are you one of those peeps that likes it...
you sicko...
I mean how many times can you take a 4th grader saying
YOUR SHOE IS UNTIED... APRIL FOOLS... no really if I had a dollar every time I have heard that one...
I would be on my own private island...
I am one of those teachers that enjoys the fact that St. Patrick's Day falls on the weekend...
sooooo just the thought of all those UBER CORNY NOT FUNNY TO ME April Fools
gets me all kinds of maybe I should call in sick...
but I can't or I won't and so I will trudge through those silly
OK really STUPID jokes and smile
and because I don't want to talk about that anymore....
we will
get this Party Started...

A BIG THANKS GOES TO OUR SPONSOR...
 I have actually met Mrs. Crystal and
she is a RIOT...
a fellow TEXAN with a passion for life, fashion, and fun...
fingers crossed we will meet this summer TOO!!!
I wish I was at Crystal's school because  Bub starts Kinder soon and our kinder teachers
are retiring and that gets me all kinds of stressed
and I am POSITIVE Crystal is AH-Mazing
I mean look at her top 3


#1 ELA Super Heroes...

AND #3 March and April Early Finishers Tub
Now when students finish early, there are activities ready to go for them and peace can be maintained while others are still working. In the set, there is a guide as to how she sets up the  tub and introductions for the activities. She keeps about a dozen containers and folders in her tub for each month. These are activities that can be done over and over, interdependently or with a partner, and quietly. Most importantly, learning has continued after they have finished their current assignments. 

thanks Crystal for sponsoring our APRIL CURRENTLY...

    I'm not last for once! And I'm first, that's a shocker!

    Love your advice! Sometimes it's easy to get caught up and compare yourself to others, but everyone is different <3

    You can have our rain! We finally had sunny weather the last few days and even hit the 70's the last few days.

    Girl you make me laugh out loud! Ugh- Stupid Staar. As a former 4th grade writing teacher I will be saying ALL kinds of prayers for you and your kiddos- although I'm sure they will kick boo-tay! If we lived closer I would totally bring you a bottle of wine for each night....cuz that's the way I roll.....maybe I'll just drink a bottle each night and send you pics- that's kind of the same right? LOVE YA!

    I too adore Cadbury easter eggs- and luckily I scoffed myself silly all weekend because I've now promised a friend of mine I won't eat any chocolate or sweets until her baby arrives in June because she's not allowed to so I'm sharing her pain haha!

    Now I'm off to check out the Currently's before mine!
