Bring on the Pumpkins

I am in love with October! What is not to love about Halloween and all the wonderfulness that the fall brings? And from the looks of it, there are a number of teachers who are just as excited about this month as I am. Check out just a few of my favorite things below in my linky, thanks to Farley over at Oh Boy, 4th Grade!

Sorry this is coming so late in the day. I didn't get home till 9 pm because I had to work after school. Life of a working student teacher. Oh well, paying my dues now to make things easier in the future...

Listening: City of Dreams by Dirty South.I heard this song at The Color Run and had to download it right away. It’s so upbeat and fun.

Loving: All things fall. Pumpkins, knit sweaters, leather boots (did I really put"booths" on my image?? Oops) and scarves are just a few of my favorite things I get to obsess over now.

Thinking: I really can’t believe there are only 3.5 weeks left of my time in 3rd grade. It’s sad to think it is going to come to an end. But I am also excited for a chance to spend some time in the resource room in November and December.

Wanting: To carve a pumpkin! If I start tomorrow, I wonder how many I can get done before Halloween!

Needing: I am definitely on the lookout for more resources for teaching rounding. I introduced the kiddos last week to rounding and it is really tripping up some of them still. We've worked on using a number line and using the rounding roller coaster. The school district provides very little for rounding yet it is a huge portion of the end of unit assessment.

Trick of Teat: So it’s a trick for now! Check back for a treat later this week!
