CURRENTLY June 2015 and helping Wimberley

**** please read below my CURRENTLY to see how I want to help Wimberley****


OH MY GOSH!!!
so raise your hand if you are still in school…
(my hand goes up)
I am on my final week and I think I am more ready for summer than my kiddos
which is crazy because I LOVE my class
and I will miss them
miss them a bunch

well what does June FIRST bring you…
you guessed it…

The Teaching Texan




Thinking - Wimberley is very dear to my heart… my family and I have gone to Market Days in Wimberley every first Saturday March - December (it is closed Jan- Feb) since I was in like 2nd grade!!! So I have been there like over 200 times… maybe closer to 300 because sometimes I go there just for fun too… anyways… If you have seen on the nightly news… it was devastated… it is horrible… it is the worst thing I have ever seen that was caused by Mother Nature.  This place was a tiny little town with the most serene and magical setting… gently rolling creeks and a beautiful river,  giant cypress trees that shade the creeks and river, and charm charm charm… It just breaks my heart to see the pictures from there… just unimaginable!!! if you want to see some pics look up the hashtag #wimberley on Instagram and see for yourself… 
the sad thing is the terrain is changed forever… the grand cypress trees that once framed the river are now fallen victims from the wrath of the flash flood… some of these trees were estimated to be over 500 years old… and maybe older… it truly crushes me!!! the sights and stories are unimaginable just mind blowing…
there is estimated over 300 homes just in the Wimberley area were washed away or severely damaged…
not only were several people washed away BUT lots of pets were washed away too
dogs, cats, birds, and even a tortoise are some of the rescued animals I have seen
many of these pets are being found along the banks wet and scared…
but many of them are also not microchipped or have any ID and so they are being housed at Wimberley Adoption Group and Rescue… or WAG… until there owner can claim them
also some are being housed at WAG because their owners do not have a place to take them home to.

My heart is telling me to ask for donations for WAG…
I usually get around 200 link ups on my CURRENTLY and if everyone donated at least one dollar…
I could deliver a nice donation check to WAG.
You are not required to do this… but if your heart is calling to you too… here is the donation button



I will leave the donate button open for 2 weeks.  My goal is to get $200 to donate to WAG!!!
My DREAM GOAL is $500 *wink*
please spread the word through your CURRENTLY POST!!!
by using this little pic


alrighty thanks so much for taking the time to read that and
fingers crossed donate
here is your template!!!



on SUMMER LOVIN… write a few things you are going to LOVE about this summer… I always say pick 3 because 3 is my favorite number
but if you want to do more or less… just do it!!! 




Do you ask for parent feedback… I do and it gives me...

How do you get parent feedback???
Have you ever asked your parents to let you know how the year went?
Does that idea scare you…
it does me!!!
BUT
every single year
I force myself to pass out end of year parent surveys.



Even the bad years (you know when you have THAT class)
I pass them out!!!
and to tell you the truth…
I have done this for a good 5-6 years… maybe longer
the years just start blending together ya know
anyways
every single time I get heart felt, honest, good feedback
and sometimes I get some zingers
and sometimes I get whoppers
and sometimes I get smooshy lovey dovey we love yous
and you know what I love them all

you always need and desire the positive feedback…
you want to be told you are doing a WONDERFUL job
which is why those love dovey notes are great and awesome
BUT those zingers and whoppers are just as important
those parents have something to say
(something truly constructive to say)
their feedback should be loved too
sometimes the truth hurts…
but that is when I really reflect about what I need to do
 to be better

I am not gonna lie…
it gives me gas to pass these out and wait for them to trickle back in
(when I get stressed I get gassy)
and then at night I have to put in my mouth guard so my TMJ doesn't get inflamed!!!
(I clench my teeth like a bear trap)
 ((thanks to my hubs for a great simile on that one… good one bear trap))
anywho…
it stresses me out to see what they are going to say…
you never know
and I have perfection issues
BUT these little surveys
good, bad, honest, and all the in between
help shape me into a better teacher



I just now updated my End of Year Parent Survey
it needed a font lift
and tomorrow I will be passing them out…
so bring on the gasX and bite guard…

If this is something you think you might be interested in
I have mine in my TpT store… cheap too
it is just a simple 2 page survey
( I print mine front to back to save trees)
I am showing you the back side as a sample…
can't show you everything here… can I… so
click on any of the pics to head on over there to check it out



Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day…
because of my 8 year journey through numerous valleys and hills
I have come to realize Mother's Day is a celebration of
living moms
angel moms
birth moms
adoptive moms
moms with fur kids
step moms
grieving moms
those trying to become moms
and those that care for kids like a mom

everyone's path through life leads them on a different journey
as some may be on a mountain… others might be in a valley
but both travelers need LOVE!!!

Happy Mother's Day to everyone
you may not hold the roadmap to your life but
remember to count your blessings along the way, follow your heart,
and always look for a sliver lining.



CURRENTLY MAY 2015

we had our school carnival tonight
and as much as I love the sights and sounds
AND the happiness it brings to our little school and community
it wipes me out…

because of a fight I got into with some ninjas…
my hand is in a cast… YAY

alrighty because of my extreme late night shenanigans, limited movement in the right hand, and I am barely keeping my eyes open… I will get to the point of this post….
