September Currently

September 2, 2014 By Rachel

Y’all, I can’t believe it’s September!
And that only means one thing!
Time for Farley’s Currently Par-tay!
Listening:
I’m a Wheel Watcher!
I like Jeopardy better though!
Loving:
I am so excited that we find out tomorrow if my sister-in-law is having a boy or a girl!!  We have to wait for her to Skype with my brother, who’s deployed.
Thinking:
I’m tired!
Even with a 3 day weekend to catch up on sleep!
I think I’ll go to bed early!
Wanting:
Ugh!! It’s so hot here!
And it’s only going to get hotter this week!
I need some fall like weather ASAP!
Needing:
I have a headache and need to take some ibuprofen!
Probably why I want to go to bed.
3 Trips:
Australia, Ireland, and Italy are my top 3 bucket list places!!
If you have any extra money lying around that you’d like to donate toward my travel expenses, please send it my way!  I’ll send ya a postcard!
What are you currently doing?

      The answer is: Your favorite blogger that shares your name and proper spelling.
      Who is the person that posted their Currently directly after you?

      Not only do we share a name, but plans for travel too! Italy and Ireland and numbers 4 and 5 on my list. When you find that secret pot of gold, feel free to share the location!

      Send some of that fall my way. I am not looking forward to the crazy heat this week either!

      I'm an occasional Wheel Watcher. They came to our local casino to try-out people for the show a couple years ago. My patient little dad sat with me in 40 degree weather to see if I got picked, but alas…no Wheel for me.

      Great choices for vacations spots! I've done Italy and loved it. Hope to get to the other places too.

      Hope your headache feels better!

      Another Rachel here! I linked with Farley after you and hopped on over here for a peek!

      I began as a Wheel Watcher, but my husband and I are devoted Jeopardy watchers now!

      Speaking of baby gender, I passed the gender note from our doctor to my sister who planned an elaborate scavenger hunt for my husband and me which led us across a few towns until we discovered pink confetti in a paper lantern in the baby's nursery!

      PS: I love your blog design! Mine is in desperate need of a makeover!

      Oh, I love Wheel of Fortune (and game shows in general), but my favorite is Family Feud! How exciting to find out about your new little niece/nephew! When is she due?

      Prayers for cooler weather soon. It's totally not cool that we had a cooler than normal summer and it's beach hot on our first week back…

      When you head to Australia, don't forget to give me a call! I would love to visit that place. Yes, we had another hot week. I'm so ready for some cooler weather too!

    How long is your students’ attention spans? I o How long is your students’ attention spans?
I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

5️⃣ Think-Pair-Share - Combines the think time with turn & talk 
6️⃣ Repetition - repeat important information to help it stick

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
