August Currently & A Happy Greyhound!

August? What?! I'm excited to be going back to school don't get me wrong! But there is something to be said about sleeping in, working out during the day, and catching marathons of your favorite shows. Currently, it feels like fall and it's drizzling here. Shhhh... don't tell Iggy, he's in his harness ready for the Farmer's Market. I have to take him and at least make one loop -- he's the happiest Italian Greyhound on the planet right now! If only he understood that it doesn't open until 9am...He's been my shadow all morning since he saw the harness.  

He started out in the other office chair...

Then decided he wanted to really wanted to help.... Now, I have a visitor!

So, as a team effort we decided to link up with Farley from Oh, Boy Fourth Grade and share our August's Currently! Here we go....

Most of my Currently is self explanatory.... Have I mentioned I'd really like to get into my classroom? The summer I decided to reorganize my library and document all my books, is the summer the floors need redone and then redone again! Seriously! I'm having some anxiety about spending long hours in my room organizing my library and putting my room back together again. I just keep telling myself... Keep calm and pet Iggy.

For back to school, I feel like I have quite a few must haves but here are the tops on my list! Flair pens for grading and planning. I love the bright colors, plus they don't bleed through papers. I also have HUGE handwriting so the tiny tip helps me control my JUMBO WRITING as I'm making comments to students.

Sharp scissors are also a must! I always buy a pair of craft scissors. They cut so much better than cheapo scissors. Last year, a student or someone cut something sticky with mine and ruined them :( This year, I bought zebra ones so I can keep track of them better!

I also like to have some Poster tabs/tape. I've used all sorts of tape on my cement walls... nothing works quite like the poster tabs. It stays up all year without falling down on me! I hang up a lot of posters, etc. I like to have it up and stay up!

Can't wait to read everyone else's Currently after Iggy goes for a walk! He's driving me nuts! Have a happy Saturday!
