Currently... WOW, School is Almost Over!!

Joining along with Farley again over at Oh' Boy 4th Grade for May's Currently:



Listening: Just about all I hear lately is her iPod...LOL. It is just a sweet reminder of the joys of childhood...

Loving: Yes, that is right... EIGHT (8) more days!!!! YAY!!! It has flown by, for sure. How many days are you at?



Thinking: I have a LOT of packing to do, a lot of standards to become familiar with, and a lot of creations to make this summer for my move to 5th. I am excited, but am sure it will be overwhelming at first, just like any other change. I chose 5th grade, as I love teaching reading and writing!!! I plan on painting my room, too - am I C.R.A.Z.Y. or what?



Wanting: We get so caught up in every day life, that we do not focus on what is most important... Our Lord and Savior and all God teaches us in the Bible. I am making a prayer notebook and going to focus on reading and studying my Bible, as I should. I love my Bible App, that I can take notes on and highlight my KJV verses... I do not like writing in my regular Bible...



Needing: I seriously need to get in shape. I talk and talk and talk about it... I need to JUST DO IT!! Motivation, where are you???????



Summer Bucket List:
  • Read all 5 of the 5th grade novels I will be teaching next year. I read the 1st one: Steal Away Home. Four more to go...






  • Spend time with my family :):):):)

  • Become familiar with the 5th grade standards

End of the Year Booklet

We have only 14 days of school left, so I figured my kiddos could do one of these pages each day (8 pages in total) during writing time. We finished our last unit a week ago, so we are just refining our writing skills right now. TRYING our best to follow ALL the star sentence parts... (O_o)

How many days do you have????

Techie Tool: LearnZillion

Not sure if you have heard of LearnZillion, but I ran across it yesterday and love it!



What is it? It is an online or APP tool that you can use as a teaching tool. There are over 2000 lessons that are specific to Common Core (Math & ELA). The lessons are PowerPoint presentations. You can assign specific students a lesson to view, so you can differentiate for the needs of all learners. I plan to experiment with it next year in 5th grade.

They have created the lessons, but they hope to make it to where you can create the lessons in the future.

Have you used LearnZillion? If so, let me know your thoughts about it.
