So I have decided to kick off 2015 by linking up with Farley over at 'Oh Boy 4th Grade' to join in her January 'Currently' Linky Party.
*Listening - Yes I am in love with Taylor Swift's music at the moment. I might be driving my family nuts listening to it all the time, but hey, it makes me smile :)
*Loving - I love my job, but seriously, who wouldn't be enjoying having 5 weeks to relax, unwind and spend time doing the things you just don't have time to do during school term. I have finally caught up on reading 'Sapphire Skies', the latest book from my favourite author, Belinda Alexandra. I have had a chance to take out the pencils and sketch a bit, and even catch up on some fun resources I have been wanting to create for ages.
*Thinking - I swear I spend every waking minute about my new classroom. I am constantly changing my mind on how to decorate it, arrange it, organise it, the list goes on... I KNOW this one is driving my hubby insane :)
*Wanting - I have sooooooo many resources to print and laminate before the beginning of school, and all I can think is how much it is going to cost in ink and pouches...and how broke I am at the moment *sigh*
*Needing - I stepped on the scales yesterday... Time to get back to the gym!
*Yes - Soooooooooooooooooooooooo need to get myself organised this year. Last year was just exhausting and alot fell by the wayside. Time to get on top of things - starting with my new teacher binder I am creating.
*Maybe - Need to work out a balance where I can take some personal time every now and then to indulge in my favourite things.
*A Wish - I am not the most confident of people. I definitely need to start believing in myself more. It is definitely scary moving to a new year level, but I really want to make my mark and create a niche for myself with my new year-level team.

Hi Nerida,
ReplyDeleteI am a first grade teacher and love it. I found 5th grade scary and was glad when I could return to the little ones. It can sometimes be hard. Congratulations on your marriage and best wishes in your new teaching position. You have a lot of firsts going on.

Thank you very much for your kind words Pauline. I am very excited to see what 2015 will hold. As much as I am a bit sad leaving Grade 1 (especially as that is where I started and I have been very lucky to work with a wonderful teaching partner), I am looking forward to working with 4-5 year olds for a change :)
ReplyDeleteI'd like unlimited ink and laminating pouches too!!! Good luck organizing! :)

Nerida, I got the new Taylor Swift CD for Christmas, so I am right there with on driving my husband crazy with it!! :) It's so good! Good luck decorating and organizing your new room- that is one of my favorite things. I'm sure it will be great! I always try to sketch things out on paper first so I don't waste any time once I get into my room. Have fun with your little ones this year! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Teaching,
