My First Sunday Scoop

Hello to all you more than "just" teachers! I was looking for ways to blog more often and came across the ADORABLE Miss K's Little Rays Instagram page where she decided to get better at blogging too! I decided I was gonna start the Sunday Scoop this week!

This is the first time I've participated in a link up like this (but I actually think the LINK UP is closed...) Oh well! I'll do it any way! Make sure to check out Teaching Trio to see some other blogger's scoops.

HAVE TO: I can't believe it's April and I only have about 1.5 months left to teach ALL the stuff I haven't taught yet. Does anyone else feel like they need 3 extra hours each day to get through all they're supposed to?  And, let's be honest, it's probably like a month of teaching time left with state tests, assemblies, award ceremonies, field trips, cleaning... blah blah

Speaking of state testing... we start the 18th. That means this week is helping them prep by going over online tools such as text masking, highlight, equation editor. I feel like of course this test is testing how well my kids can figure out how to take the test. We are doing 2 tests a day, 1 in morning, 1 in afternoon. How do you do state testing?

I have been doing a pretty dang good job of getting my workouts in. I am not skinny by any means and I have got to workout to put myself out there in a bikini. I know that I will never look great, but as long as I can push myself, I feel more energized throughout the day. A new gym opened across the street (I literally have NO excuse) so I'm going to Zumba 4 times a week at least. It's fun and I go with my teaching BESTIE, so we get to talk and hang out too! Win-Win!

HOPE TO: I hope to catch up on The Voice today and be able to actually watch it live tomorrow! I'm about 3 episodes behind (I'm watching Knockouts). I also love Quantico which comes on tonight. What shows do you watch? Any news ones I should be DVRing?

After I'm done with this, I should probably make a grocery list. Although, I wish I was rich and could pay to give someone all the things I want to eat and they could just go for me. That would be great. Maybe that could be my job... I wouldn't mind grocery shopping for other people.... hmmm...

HAPPY TO: I am stoked to be blogging right now. I'm not good at staying up to date here. I have so many things I've done in my classroom I should be blogging about, since I get SO many ideas from other people's blogs. I'm going to try my best. You guys gotta keep me on my blogging game!

Hope you enjoyed seeing my Sunday Scoop, and thank you for being more than "just" a teacher each day. Your kids are lucky to have you around!

xoxo, lauren
