July Currently

What....really....July already!  And time to link up with Farley at Oh' Boy 4th Grade for her July Currently!






Listening: Lonesome Dove is one of my all time favorites. My husband just has to say "Oh that Gus" and I get a little teary eyed. 

Loving: Our summer routine is great!  I get up early, have coffee, workout, get dressed, and then work on some of my summer projects around the house. My girls get up and do a little summer review after breakfast. We all get comfy in the living room after lunch and read for a while. I'm reading The Next Step in Guided Reading by Jan Richardson and  Positive Discipline in the Classroom and reviewing Teaching with Love and Logic. I've been trying to find a non-school related book to include. Any suggestions?

Thinking: I live in New Mexico but grew up in Texas. All my family is in Texas! Wish we lived closer so I could see everyone more often. 

Wanting: We just replaced a lamp in my youngest daughters room and I want to recover the old lamp for my classroom. I've found some You Tube videos to watch. We'll see how it goes. 

Needing: Laundry is going and we leave Thursday for a long weekend. Once everything is washed the girls and I will start packing. I don't love packing or unpacking for that matter. 

4th Plans: We'll get to Fort Worth on Thursday for the 3rd Annual Harris Hootenanny! This is my husbands side of the family and it is huge. Can't wait to see everyone!

    I just bought The Next Steps in Guided Reading. I haven't started it yet. I have seen so many great book studies going on that all of my reading has been school related. I would love to hear any suggestions too. Enjoy your family vacation.

      I've seen the book studies for this specific book as well but can't remember where it originated. Do you? It is a great read. I'm on the Transitional reader chapter and am focusing on that section because the kiddos I get for reading and spelling are above level J coming into 1st! (We group our kiddos according to instructional need across all 4 first grades.) I've made some notes. Once you start reading sending me an email and maybe we can "chit chat" about it.

    Hey there! I found your blog through Farley's Currently linkup!
    Your currently could have been written by me! I love summer for the flexibility, too! I also wish my family was closer. We live almost 5 hours away from our closest relatives. I miss them, but I don't want to move back home ;) If they would move here I would totally be okay with that! :)
    Have a great time on your long weekend!
