April Currently

I can't believe it is already April... I am now in the 4th quarter of my first year of teaching! Where did the time go? How is it already April?

I'm linking up with Oh' Boy 4th Grade-

Listening: HGTV is pretty much constantly on in my home. I love getting ideas about how to renovate decorate my future house.

Loving: During spring break, my school installed AC in my classroom! As a teacher in Hawaii where it is hot every day, this is huge news!!! Now I can wear nicer clothes because I won't be worried about sweating all day. Yay AC!!

Thinking: I am going to Disneyland in July with my parents. I know I am going, I am committed to going. So I should probably book my flight/park tickets soon... Then I'll be really committed!

Wanting: I spent all week in GLAD training at my school, and I learned some awesome strategies for my ELL students and even some good ideas to try with my SPED students. I have a few strategies that I plan on trying to implement next week, and I can't wait to see how my students respond.

Needing: I am so thankful that there is no school tomorrow. 3 day weekends are the perfect amount of time for a weekend!

Blog name: Well, I'm a teacher, I drink way too much coffee, and I live in Hawaii! But- my blog name will be changing in the next month since I will be moving to Washington, and my blog will be getting a complete make over from Miss Johnston's Journey!

July Currently!

It is now July, and as my mom kindly reminded me, that means it's time for another Currently with Farley!

Listening: Summer school is starting soon. The kids are running around outside. How do they have so much energy in the mornings?!

Loving: Between school all last week, cheer camp all weekend, and now school again... I'm ready for a day off. Hooray for Friday!

Thinking: Last Friday was a SPED team meeting at my new school. I got to go in and see my new classroom, take pictures, and see what I am looking at. All I want to do now is set it up!! 

Wanting: If I had the keys, ^^ would actually be possible! 

Needing: I just looked at my "To Grade" bin and there is a huge stack!! Oops. Guess I should get those graded before the kiddos come in. 

4th Plans: My roommates family got a hotel room right in front of the fireworks in Waikiki. We are going to spend the whole day there, and then watch the fire works at night! 

My First Currently... June!

Since my blog is now up and running and it is June 1st, I am just in time to link up with Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade to do my first ever currently post! 
So, here it is!

Listening- Seriously, the Pandora 2000's hip hop radio is the greatest radio station ever. Flashback to junior high/high school for me!
Loving- That my hard work payed off! I love my new blog. 
Thinking- Wednesday is my first staff meeting for my first big girl teaching job. I am so excited, yet so not prepared... haha! I have no idea what to expect!!
Wanting- I spent yesterday making some DIY projects for my classroom, but I want to make more!! Starting as a first year teacher means I have NOTHING for my room, so I have tons of ideas and plans. But all those ideas involve money... Ugh!
Needing- Lunch! I have spent all morning and afternoon working on this darn blog, and I seem to have forgotten to eat. Oops. 
Summer Bucket List- 1: Thinking about maybe taking a trip to Maui. 2: I need to go through all of my books that I will be taking to my classroom, and label/sort them. 3: Since I have a few more days off, I want to create some fun and yummy things to cook/bake. 

Happy June Everyone!
