Happy Sunday everyone!
There’s something about Sundays, starting in September. They’re all of the sudden special again, because I know I have to go back to work tomorrow. This morning, the hubs and I took Georgie Girl for a walk to Starbucks, and I got a pumpkin spice latte. I’ve loved everything about this morning so far, and it’s only 10:30!!
I know I’m late to the {Currently} party, but I wanted to come anyways!
My favorite things:
1} Mac and Georgie. Obviously.
2} Balsamic vinegar makes almost everything better. We have a store near by that sells it in every flavor imanginable. My sister in law got me the apple {get it, I’m a teacher!!}, and I love it on veggies. It’s also delicious on laughing cow cheese with crackers. Yum.
3} Amazon. It is my go to for everything. I’m a Prime member,so I get free 2 day shipping. If there’s something I need {not just books}, I check Amazon first.
Make sure you link up, and follow the Rule of 3!!!
Yesterday, I showed off my classroom. See it here.
In the picture of my desk, you can see a really cute little chevron bucket. Here, look below, I made it extra easy for you to spot!
I keep student incentives in here so I remember to use them. I used to store them in my closet, and while I was getting my room ready this year, I discovered I had literally hundreds of award certificates and notes that I had barely even touched. Many were unopen. I decided to grab a few of each kind {writing, reading, math, effort, behavior, super helper, caught being good, etc} and toss them in my little basket. Now they’re front and center for me to remember to use them. I’ve already given a few away. These of course are on top of my regular behavior plan, just extra special little notes.
Everyone loves a little pick me up.
So there’s my tip, if there’s something small you normally store away and forget all about, keep it out to see and use! That might be a big duh to most of you, but it wasn’t to me until about a week ago :)
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and have a great start to the school week tomorrow!

Fabulous room! Love the Bucket...I have a few of those too! One will be holding all the bookmarks I hoarded at Target's 70% off dollar bins!
ReplyDeleteI just posted my Currently today! Better late than never :)
ReplyDelete1) I love my Sundays in September, too! There's just something about the crisp air, football, and jammies all day!
2) OMW, I love balsamic vinegar. I use it on my salad every day. My grandpa got me hooked when I was younger!
3) I, too, have 9795235 awards certificates I've never used. Thanks for reminding me to pull some out!

I also am a huge Amazon fan! Can't beat that 2-day shipping. :) I've never tried the different kinds of vinegar on fruits or other foods, but now I think I'll have to give it a go... thanks for the idea!

I love your new look girls! (I was just snooping around on Erin's Creating and Teaching and saw you had gotten a makeover!) Looks great over here! :)
