Currently & is that a flower I see?

I LOVE visiting Farley's monthly currently linky.  I spend so much time hopping from blog to blog to see what everyone is up to.  If you have stopped by to see what I have been up to here you go...

Currently ...
I am listening to The Voice.  I recorded the premiere and it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  I just can't get enough of Blake Shelton.  I think the four coaches are going to mix well together.  Should be a great season!
I am LOVING my son's graduation pictures.  We picked up the proofs today.  How are we ever going to decide?????
I'm thinking about parent-teacher conferences. Yep, it's that time.  I love meeting with families but I know that by Friday I will be EXHAUSTED  which is why I am needing to head to bed.
Yesterday we had the most beautiful temperatures. I went for a walk without a jacket!  I am so wanting the rest of the snow to melt - come on summer!!!!

So, that's what I've been up up to.  I love hearing what you're up to.  If you have a blog I'll probably be stopping by, if not feel free to leave a comment :-)

If you love the currently linky as much as I do you can find link to lots more by clicking on the picture below.


Now that I can see a little of my garden I was THRILLED to see some crocuses and tulips peeking through.  It made me think of my flowers tens and ones place value Mystery Pictures.  They're available at my TPT store both individually and in a bundle.

As usual, I'll send a copy of this activity to the first 2 followers who comment on this post.
Happy April !!!

March Currently .... and 1 more day until TPT Gold!!

I'm linking up with Farley over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade because I just love reading about what everyone is up to.  Here's what's going on with me today...

Listening: The news - I enjoy keeping up with current events but I don't think my husband realizes it's on it's third loop :)  (I won't say anything until I'm done on the computer - maybe he won't notice that I'm still on here)

Loving: That it's March break - Not only do I get to spend the week with my family but I don't need to set my clock AND spring is on the way!!!!

Thinking: I am DONE with winter - If it snows where you are you know what I mean!

Wanting: A new spring wardrobe - there are some great new styles out there this year!

Needing: To get to work on my March break to-do list.  First up, building my leprechaun door then I have so much housework I'd like to get done!

Like, Love, Hate: This was tough - 3 words that start with the letter L.  Lists - I am a lister (is that a word?)  I have them everywhere!  Laughter - I can't get enough of it!  Line-ups - I hate wasting time and I see line-ups as a huge waste of time!

So what have you been up to?  Leave a comment with a link to your post, I'd love to check it out!

Don't forget to come back tomorrow to find out how you can join some freebie fun and maybe win TPT GOLD!!

Currently and a winner!

Here's what I am currently up to on this cold January morning:

Let me explain:
Listening: The wind is crazy outside this morning.  The sun is shining on the beautiful white snow, but it's freezing!!  If it were a school day I'd be out in the playground on duty.  Brrrrrr....  (Don't you just love duty - NOT)

Loving: The unscheduled days of winter break.  I (only) have two children.  I seriously don't know how people with more than two keep up with homework, sports, appointments.... My oldest has his license now so that helps a bit (but adds to the worry!).

Thinking: 2012 was a challenge healthwise for my extended family.  I am hoping that 2013 brings nothing but health and happiness for my family and yours.

Wanting: a kitchen backsplash - I just can't decide!  There are so many great ideas out there that I wouldn't want to make the wrong choice.  One of these days I'll see one that I fall in love with and will order it on the spot :)

Needing: I can't bring myself to throw out the extra holiday sweets that I have around.  But I should!

One Little Word:  Time!  Time is so precious!  Spend it wisely!  Doing what you love with the people you love!

Head on over to Oh' Boy 4th Grade to see what other bloggers are CURRENTLY up to!

Before I go I must say congratulations to Kate!  She was the winner of my New Year's giveaway!  Thank you to everyone who entered yesterday.

Kate - I've sent you an email with the entire unit.  Please let me know if you don't receive it.

Have a great day everyone!

Penguin Mystery Picture and Currently

I just noticed that I have had over 20 000 views of my little blog!  I have only one word - WOW!  I started this in August and am humbled by the faithful followers I have.  Thank you all so much, your visits and comments always make me smile! 
I know there are some schools who don't celebrate Christmas so thought I would post about something else today.  I just posted my newest tens and ones activity over at my TPT store.  Here's a little peek:

I LOVE mystery pictures, but like my students to work to find the numbers before they color.  For example:

5 tens 3 ones  53  



Students will have so much fun they will not realize how hard they are working.  If you plan to use this as a math station you can download a free I can... card here.  I will send a copy of this activity to the first 2 people who leave a comment on thsi post with their email.

 

A few months have gone by since I linked up for the Currently over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade.  You should head on over to read about so many bloggers.

I love reading everyone's currently on all the blogs I stalk read.  I hope you enjoyed reading mine!

Have a great Monday tomorrow!

I always enjoy reading everyone's 'Currently' on their blogs so for the first time ever I am linking up with Farley over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade. 

Lastly, tomorrow is the first day of school.  I know I'm ready, but the question is "Will I sleep tonight?"  Sadly the answer is "Probably not!"
