Listening: My boys have been elaborately sorting and trading their Halloween candy all day long! They even paid some taxes to their parents (without even being asked!).
Loving: I may have bought three new pairs of shoes this week when I went to buy Luke new shoes. But I NEEDED new boots, ballet flats, and mules, so totally justified - right? LOL!
Thinking: One awesome thing about teaching in Nevada is that we get a day off in honor of Nevada Day - which happened to land on Halloween this year! Woo Hoo! Nevada Day is technically October 31st, but they changed it to the last Friday of the month for celebration reasons. I am loving my much needed three day weekend!
Wanting: As I sit typing this, I am wanting a new office chair. This one has definitely seen better days! It is on my Christmas list this year, so hopefully Santa comes through!
Needing: I have a half day sub this week for professional development and I have to prepare lesson plans for it. Am I the only one who HATES planning for a sub??? Especially on a PD day - it seems like double the work!
Reading: I have been wanting to read Number Talks forever and luckily our admin purchased a book for each grade level to share. I am the lucky one to have it first! I will share some ideas I learn when I finish it!
What are you Currently up to? Link up and share!
Congrats on 3 new pairs of shoes!! I am in desperate need of some shoe-shopping myself!! I am also so very jealous of your 3-day weekend! In my currently, that was my "wanting"!!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

Yes. Three pairs of new shoes is totally a must! :) A three day weekend over Halloween would be ideal! I like the idea of Nevada Day being on Halloween... good line up of a calendar this year! Happy November!!

I hate planning for a sub period. It's SO much work and there is no guarantee that the sub will actually follow the lessons. We have such a hard time getting good subs that I dread when I have to be gone. :(
ReplyDeleteYou are definitely not the only one who hates preparing for a sub. It's one of the fallbacks of being a teacher--it's more work to call in sick than it is to just go and teach sick! lol. Enjoy your three day weekend!

Hooray for being the sponsor! My kids elaborately sort their candy and do trades too : ) Have a great November and good luck making the plans--I don't know when writing plans for someone else is ever fun.
