October Currently

Hi All!  I am linking up with Oh' Boy 4th Grade for October Currently!  

Listening: It was morning when I started this and when everything is shut off I can hear the trains going by about a mile down the road.  Sometimes that noise is peaceful...except at 11PM when i can't sleep :) 

Loving: The cooler weather.  I love Fall and Winter!  I have bad allergies so I love when it finally frosts.  I also like to wear pants with my sweaters!  The majority of my teaching wardrobe is for cooler weather.  I live in North West Ohio and teach in Michigan so most of the teaching year it is cooler outside.  

Thinking: I am thinking of things that I need to change at school.  After a month I feel the need to reevaluate my room set up and make adjustments.  That will happen this week. 

Wanting: A day to catch up on sleep.  Two weeks ago was the fair and that takes a lot of my time.  Then I jumped into a crazy week and feel behind not only on grading but also sleep.  

Needing: More hours in the day.  The end of September and beginning of October always seem to be so busy.  It will get better I keep telling myself.  

Trick or Treat:  Here is a little trick.  This year I have a little bit of help during my guided reading group time.  I put every group in their own hanging file folder with all of the materials for the week.  When someone comes in to help they grab the front file and get to to work.  When we are finished the file goes in the back!  

Happy October everyone!
