It’s CURRENTLY January??!!

Happy New Year!!!!

It’s not that I can’t believe it’s a new year, I just can’t believe it’s already January. I feel like it was just Thanksgiving and I was looking forward to winter break… 


Anyways, it’s once again time to link up with Farley for some Currently action!





Listening: It’s New Years day… of course football is on the TV. 

(Still depressed about my Gators but let’s move on…)
Loving: We’re in North Carolina for one more day visiting with some friends and I just love sitting in their living room by the fire. It’s so peaceful (and freezing!!!)



Thinking: I’m really loving this winter break thing and I’d like another week, or two, or forever please!! It’s been a rough year, and I’m just not ready to go back…


Wanting: I would love a teacher work day! I’m not even close to being planned for when we go back and I have so much filing and organizing I could get done without the kids!! Guess I’ll have to wait until mid-January…

Needing: I’m not a big baker, but we’re making these tonight and I can’t wait to dig in!



YES: I was soooo close to reaching my reading goal in 2014 but I fell short by a few books. I will meet my goal this year! 65 books!!
MAYBE: I would love for my hubby and I to go on a little vacation. It’s not that we never go anywhere (we’re in NC right now, remember?!), but we’re always visiting family and friends. I just wanna get away!!
I WISH: I would love to reach my first TpT milestone this year, but that’s a pretty far stretch! However, my hubby is always talking about the power of positive thinking so I’m just going to go with it!!

    Hi Elyse! I, too, am anxiously pursuing my first TPT milestone! Won't that be FUN!? Let's adopt "Dory's" theme song from Finding Nemo – do you remember her? "Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming… " Enjoy the remainder of your break and I'm following your blog now, so be sure to announce your milestone so I can congratulate you!

    Wouldn't a work day be wonderful? I am going to have to convince myself to go up to school over the weekend and regroup! I am not planned at all and the piles are growing in my room! Those cookies look delicious. Happy New Year!

    Yeehaw! Teaching in Texas

      I'm kind of thankful that my school won't let us in, but that will mean some prep work at home! Ahhhh I don't wanna!! πŸ™‚

    I'm not ready to go back either. If only we could freeze time! We have some teacher work days that I am really looking forward to, but it's not until the end of January and I could use one as soon as Monday! I hope that you are able to reach your first milestone this year. I'd love to reach mine as well and I know one day I will, but it would be lovely if it would happen in 2015! Perhaps we shall be celebrating a year from now on Currently 2016! πŸ™‚

Pizza Co. practices math skills like: one-to-one correspondence, subtraction, money, and fractions. I absolutely LOVE that we get to work on basic subtraction and fractions (put toppings on half of the pie). Another thing I LOVE about this game is that I'm able to put it on junior mode so she can do most of it with just a little assistance.

This is going to be a favorite game for a long time!!

One of my absolute favorite resources is this parts of a plant notebook activity! 🌱I always brought in the food items for my students to build all of the plant parts and then taste each part.
