August Currently...Are You Kidding Me!~

I am so in denial about what month it is!  Some of you friends, have even started school already...I can't even imagine that!  Anyway everyone's Currentlys are so fun to read.  When you visit Farley, you can check them all out too.

Listening-The music just doesn't get old!  And then I always get the songs stuck in my head.

Loving-My Dodgers are on a hot streak!  In first place...such a difference from the beginning of the season.  I have a student who is a huge Giant fan and I am not sure how he is going to handle being in my Dodger decorated classroom....

Thinking-In case you didn't know, I love reading!  I challenge my kids to summer reading and try to do the same.  Being on vacation for a couple weeks put me  abit behind in my reading, but I think I have managed to catch up.  Just need to read 13 more books by August 26th and I will have met my goal. One book for each weekday of no school.

Wanting-Last year I had 36 Chickadees!  It was nuts.  This year, I am told 29 oh please be true...please be true!  I could remove an entire table:-)

Needing-I have a fabulous library.  You can make book lists and save them.  Then when you need to check out the books, you can just select the list and then place the whole list on hold.  Check back soon, for my list of go-to first week/month of school reads.  Anyway, I need to get my list on hold so I don't end up being on a wait list

B2s Must Haves-
1) Coffee mug-The benefit to having a unique coffee mug is that every time I put it down in some random place everyone knows who to return it to.
2) Staple remover...because I never get the bulletin boards right the first time.  And the pinch and pull kind of removers drive me batty.
3) Why are chapter book read alouds so hard to find?  Looping with half my class makes it even harder.  I have narrowed it down to Wonder, Toys Go Out, or Escape From Mr. Lemoncello's Library.

Don't forget to check in with Farley and use the "Rule of 3".
Happy Thursday,
