Listening: If you haven't heard of Lindsay Stirling's AMAZING album, Shatter Me, let me be the first to direct you to one of her music videos below. She finds a way to bring classical music into the modern age in a style all her own.
Loving: The weather in Florida this weekend is perfection. The 70s are the sweet spot for fall in the Sunshine State. I can hang out on the back porch in shorts and a t-shirt without sweating - a miraculous feat after the extraordinary heat this summer.
Thinking: I need to up my Pinterest game. I've been using Pinterest for a few months now, but I'm still trying to find a way to connect with others on collaborative boards. If you have any advice for how to FIND great collaborative boards for upper elementary/middle school teachers, let me know!
Wanting: Thanksgiving Break! My whole family will be in town this year for a scrumptious feast. I am on pins and needles waiting for the family fun to begin!
Needing: So...my workout routine has yet to really begin. I promised myself last week I'd ride my bike or go on regular walks at least 3 times a week, but by the time I get home from school it's dark already! Maybe it's time to break out the Wii Fit game. That counts, right? ;)
Reading: I've been on the hunt for new teacher blogs to read. Anytime I find one I like, I immediately become a Bloglovin' follower to keep track of their newest posts. If you have any blogs to recommend, let me know in the comments!
Happy Teaching!
You are so lucky to be in Florida right now!! In Chicago the weather people are talking about the possibility of 3 inches of snow in Chicago next week!!! Yikes!!!! I do the same thing about blogs I find interesting! I add them to my bloglovin' feed right away. I am about to add you! :)

Wow, that video was amazing! I know my daughter will love it too I can't wait to share it with her. Have you looked in the TpT forum for Pinterest boards. People are always starting them or looking for contributors, it could be a good place to start anyway. Try getting up an hour early in the morning to take your walk, I walk 2 miles at 5am everyday and I love it. It is really quiet and the best part is that by 5:45 I have my workout done for the day and I don't have to think about trying to fit it in.
