A while back, I was browsing through Twitter and I came across this tweet by David Moroz: Simple and straightforward… right? Then I did a quick check through my Twitter feed and reviewed some of the many, MANY, ideas I had retweeted over the past few weeks and realized just how few of those ideas I have actually implemented. I know that you can’t do everything at one time, butI am challenging myself and my followers to pick at least ONE THING that they’ve retweeted on Twitter and actually implement in their lives! It can be a… Read More
June Currently
If you haven’t encountered a “Currently” post before, it is just a fun post at the beginning of each month that serves as a way to share what is Currently going on in your life! You can link up and share your own “Currently” post by visiting the wonderful Farley over at Oh’ Boy 4th Grade. Happy June everyone! I am beyond excited that it is finally June and we have officially started having weather that could be called “summer-like”. If you were able to check out my last Currently post in May you’ll remember that we were still having major snowstorms… Read More
May Currently
So I’ve been told by quite a few people that it is officially May! A lot of my blog friends in the United States have been sharing that they are entering their last few weeks of classes before they head into their summer breaks. I find this absolutely mind boggling because this is what May looks like if you live in central Manitoba, Canada. Yes, I took that picture YESTERDAY! For us, May has looked very snowy and has definitely not made me think about summertime yet. If anyone is keeping track…. we are now on… Read More
April Currently
So here we are, it is already April. If you have been keeping tabs on my countdown that means only 1 month left of student teaching, 2 months until graduation ceremonies and less than 3 months until our wedding! (And hopefully get a teaching job somewhere in there as well). All countdowns aside though, April has been a bad month for me so far (all three days of it) as I’ve been battling a stomach flu which finally decided to get bad enough that I was unable to go to school today 🙁 If you… Read More
March Currently
Guess what!? March marks the month where I am officially DONE my classes at university. I am looking forward to getting back into the classroom for student teaching and then applying for teaching positions, yay! I just can’t believe that after six years I am finally at a place where I can be applying for a job that will actually turn into my career. After six years, my fiance and I are no longer moving back and forth between university and our home. After six years we can now begin the rest of our lives! If you… Read More
February Currently
It is February! That means that I have only ONE MONTH left in my university classes! (After 6 years I can’t believe that I am actually saying this) We start our last student teaching placements in March and then will be graduating in May! I am so excited about the idea of having my own classroom and starting a new chapter of my life but I will honestly miss university as well. My fiance and I have both worked at the university for the entire time we have been enrolled and have loved the atmosphere on campus, it… Read More
