2 Truths & a Lie: Currently February 2014


If you haven't yet experienced the teacher blog party that is Currently, hosted by Farley of Oh Boy 4th Grade, you should head on over.

Currently, I am working at the kitchen table and listening for sounds that other people are awake.  I love quiet mornings.

I love that the Seattle Seahawks are playing in the Super Bowl.  Ever since fifth grade when some of the players visited my elementary school, I have been a fan.

I am thinking (obsessing) about some observation lessons I need to teach.  I had signed up to be a demonstration class, before I found out that my formal observation is scheduled this week.  Why do I feel like I need to create a show?

I want to try a new recipe this weekend.  Lately I have been actually trying the recipes I find on Pinterest.  I haven't picked one out yet.  Any recommendations?

I need to start our taxes, beyond the pile of paperwork growing on the kitchen table.

Now for two truths and a lie:
I was in the U.S. Army Reserves for six years and I made sergeant before I left.
I love spinach and can't wait for warmer weather so I can grow some in the back yard.
I was never a principal, but I earned the certificate.  During my internship, I missed the classroom too much.  I keep finding other teachers who did the same.

So, Happy February everyone.  Thank you for stopping by.  Be sure to leave a comment so I can visit you back.

    I happen to have my administrative certificate as well and I feel nearly the same way! This year I am a coach and while I love it, I definitely have my days where I miss the classroom and my "kid" time! Def. important to make sure you are doing what you love! Enjoy the Superbowl!

      I've tried for a couple of coaching jobs, but I still like having my own classroom. It's good to meet you, Krista.

    I am not a big football follower - which is an understatement. I pay absolutely no attention to football, but Good Luck to the Seahawks on your behalf. :) :) :) My husband and I tried this pasta recipe last week and it was really good...filling and tasty with plenty of leftovers for lunches. http://www.marthastewart.com/891236/emerils-rigatoni-broccoli-and-sausage My Pinterest board is full of recipes that my husband and I have tried and liked (if we don't like the recipe I delete it).
