My Journey to 5th Grade: November 2012
http://www.myjourneyto5thgrade.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 17, 2012. Where has the time gone? I cannot, absolutely, positively, cannot. believe that it is almost Thanksgiving. And I haven't posted a new blog post since right after school started. The latter just happened to me yesterday and it all boils down to the inevitable, can't get away from, natural body function of going to the bathroom! Oh my gosh. no wonder I was feeling crazy. How could I possibly let this happen? Did they go home hating me? So, after thinking about this. and thi...

Thursday, January 31, 2013. Super Bowl Sunday Sale and a *Freebie. If you haven't already heard, Teachers Pay Teachers is having another big blow-out sale! Imagine getting 28% off of all those wonderful products you have been dreaming of. I know that I already have 6 items in my cart just waiting for Sunday to roll around. Please make sure that you enter SUPER in the code section. If you don't you will only get 20% off, not the entire 28%. (I hate to admit it, but I did that last time). At first I though...

My Journey to 5th Grade: Storage Ottomons~ What??
http://www.myjourneyto5thgrade.com/2013/07/storage-ottomons-what.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. I know I haven't posted in a long time. I thought for sure I would have more time in the summer and I guess I do, but I am just not motivated. I am trying not to think about going back to work, but I probably should. I know I will be a better teacher if I am prepared. I went the "I don't want them to get dirty" way and bought black. My daughter wanted me to mix it up, but I am so afraid of them getting disgusting looking. I really would like them to last a long time! I have one at ...

Saturday, June 29, 2013. I am linking up with Farley from Oh' Boy 4th Grade. For her monthly linky party, which is my favorite linky ever! I just can't believe it is July already.

I have been obsessively working on the computer for HOURS each day. I swear I am working more over the summer than during the school year! Have a wonderful July everyone! This is my second...

http://www.myjourneyto5thgrade.com/2013/08/getting-ready.html
Sunday, August 25, 2013. It is that time of year again. summer is coming to an end and I am somewhat excited and somewhat bummed out. I love the wake up when I want to, clean when I want to, shop when I want to lazy days of summer! But, I am also excited to get another school year under way and meet my new batch of students. I looked at my husband the other day and said, "I have to go to Walmart, I don't have any glue or crayons! But, it's also much better than me having to create all of it on my own....
