Oh my! This year has flown by! I cannot believe we are already at November and talking about what we will do for Thanksgiving this year! We have not a full week of school in the past two weeks with conferences and hurricanes. Next week we have Tuesday off of Election Day, so that leaves the following week as a full week and then Thanksgiving. The kids are out all week, and we have professional development days the Monday and Tuesday.
So, with that, here is my November Currently!
Tonight Zack's school had their annual Monter-Son Amazing Race. It is high-energy fun! We go from station to station doing odd little tasks to get our next clue. At the end everyone gets funnel cakes! That makes the running all worth it!
Hopefully this week will be calmer than the last two. With soccer season ending and basketball season starting, there is no rest in our household. I keep telling myself that it will get better! Because of the craziness, I need a serious massage!
I really don't listen to music all the time in my room because we are so high energy. I do play a lot of ABC songs for the kindergarteners. We do a lot of rhyming songs too. I used to just play classical music all day in my classroom, but I don't really do it much now! Maybe I should!!
Go over to Farley's blog Oh Boy Fourth Grade to find out what everyone else is "currently" doing! Then tell us what you are doing and link up!
Until next time!

I love the idea of a school version of Amazing Race! We do a few family events in the evenings, but that one sounds like more fun than Bingo. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot of fun! His school's PTA puts it on and works hard for it to all work out. In the spring the girls go to the Father/Daughter Dance.

Thank you for stopping by. I would rather listen to rockin' music myself. Of course, this was years ago when I played the music for my students. Now it is just fun and games all day!
