Wow, it's October!!! October is probably my favorite month because Halloween is one of my favorite holidays!
I am so excited to be linking up with Farley from Oh, Boy 4th Grade. I am also honored to be the sponsor for this month's currently! If you are visiting my blog for the first time, welcome to A Grace-Filled Classroom! Make sure you read to the end...to get a double treat!
Listening: Jack Johnson is the best music to relax to. Maybe it's because I'm a beach and sunset kind of girl but his soft voice just eases the tension away.
Loving: This year, I accepted a new job position in our district as an Instructional Coach and I am loving my new job. It's soooo different than being in the classroom and I do miss the little kiddos...but now I get to work with Kinder students all the way to 6th grade students. It is so much fun! The teachers at my site are amazing and so dedicated to their students. They've all been really friendly with me and have graciously opened their classroom doors for me. I know it's only been a month but this job has really helped me grow as a teacher.
Thinking: No matter how much we love our jobs, though...the weekend is always welcome! This weekend, I will be celebrating my best friends birthday with 3 other friends. We are heading to Manhattan Beach near Los Angeles and we are going to have a fun night out. Notice, I didn't say crazy night out.. I think those kind of nights are over... ha... does this make me old???
Wanting: I need the Fall weather to get here... fast. Today is suppose to be 105 degrees... that is not a typo... it is suppose to be blazing hot. It's October!!! I need some cooler weather to come soon. I love to wear boots and scarves and be cozy with a Pumpkin Spice Latte from Starbucks.... but it's probably not the best idea when it's 105 outside. Oh...well... it can't stay this hot for long, right???
Needing: I wish there was more time in the day... then I could blog for you lovely readers all the time. I am promising you all... (right hand in the air).... that I will be blogging more. I have so much to share with you all.
Trick or Treat: I choose TREAT! Not just one treat... you all get two TREATS!
The first TREAT....my "Using Adjectives to Describe Nouns" unit and my "October Family Project" unit will be on sale 50% off this whole week!
Just click on the image to go to my store!
Since there are some people visiting my blog for the first time...I'd love to give you all a fun TREAT! My second TREAT is a $20 Teacher Pay Teachers Gift Card giveaway!! I love shopping and with all the holidays that are coming, there is a lot of fun stuff to buy on TpT! This giveaway will run for till next week, October 9th...so make sure to sign up now!

Congrats on your new position! It sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of fall is getting to wear boots, scarves, and layers. Of course, fall in Texas lasts approximately .25 seconds before moving straight into winter, but... you know, you take what you can get. :)

I love the slightly cooler weather (below 100 degrees), going apple and pumpkin picking and my husband's and my birthdays.
ReplyDeleteI've never been apple picking but it does sound like fun. Happy early birthday.
DeleteLove the fall and the crisp leaves!! Also, anything pumpkin. Thank you for the giveaway. :)
ReplyDeleteYum - love apple pie and pumpkin pie! Some apple cider is delicious as well! Thank you, Laura, for a great fall giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such a fun giveaway!! I agree with you that I want the fall weather to come soon too! It is still so hot here too!! I hope that it cools down for you soon!! My favorite thing about fall is being able to open our windows!!
