Inaugural Currently!

For the first time ever, I am participating in Farley's awesome {Currently} link party.  I have read her blog and all kinds of Currently's over the past couple years, but this is my first time actually making my own and linking up!  I will be honest, I am a little nervous that I do this correctly.  I don't know if I even know how to link up!  We shall see....

So what am I {Currently} up to?

From clicking around a little, it seems like we have a little bit later start date than many others.  I've seen some teachers on Instagram who started back LAST WEEK with their kids and everything!  So you all are rockstars.  I spent two days in my room last week (my in-laws came and stayed with the boys, woo) and I could for sure use about five more days!  This was my first time digging through all the cabinets, counters and bookshelves to organize everything and make it MINE. {Sidenote: if you are new here, this year is my first year teaching THIRD GRADE and I am in a new-to-me classroom.}

I have also been working on my first FOR SALE product for my TPT store.  So far I only have freebies in my store.  I am new to ALL of this {blogging, TPTing, etc.) so I am hoping everything goes well.

Happy August everyone!  I can't believe it's really here, but I am ready to hit the ground running and start the year off right.  Coming soon to the blog:

* Classroom preview pictures! {I bought a rug and lamp this weekend!}

* Possible update on the 60% off Loft pants.  Let's hope they fit well and are as cute as the online reviews say they are.  I am still "in between" my old size and my new post-babies size, so new pants were kind of a necessity.

* My first "real" TPT product!  I am making BOOK REVIEWS for my students to write and share about books they have read and are reading.  I plan to hang them in my library corner.

Let's end with a picture from our beach trip last month.  That's Parker and Henry getting their toes wet (and not exactly liking it!)
