Calming The Chaos


Welcome to the Calming the Chaos Blog Hop hosted by 2peasandadog.

Happy Hopping

With the end of the school year approaching, it can get super chaotic. End of the year award ceremonies, field trips, assessments...it's hard to keep the students on track and even more... their behaviors in check. I will say that this has been a challenging week for my kiddos. They have had a hard time keeping quiet and getting along!



I made the little sign above and I hang on the whiteboard. Basically the kiddos can simply put a post-it note up reflecting on how their day was... Did they do their best? How could they have made their day or the day of someone else better?  How can they make tomorrow better?   This makes them reflect on some choices they made and how they could make better choices the next day.  I give the kiddos about 5 minutes right before they pack up at the end of the day to do this. Super easy! The kiddos love writing on post-it notes but you could simply have them write on the whiteboard. I have it up here free as a Google Doc for you all to download!

May Currently

It is that time again!  I'm lovin' this one!!  It is May!!  Who doesn't get excited about May....  especially teachers!!  Whooo hooo!!  15 days, but I am not counting...  (he he he)

I am sitting on my porch with my son listening to the birds chirp.  They are going crazy.  I know 'zero' about birds either.  :)  The sounds are coming from this large tree in my yard.  It is such a beautiful tree too.
 


I am loving my family.  I am so blessed with such a hard-working husband and two beautiful out-going handsome little boys!!

I am thinking Instagram!!  I am really trying to get this thing started.  I get so involved at looking through other pictures that I forget to post any pictures of my own.

I am wanting a new SUV.  I know...  I know...  They are not good on the gas tank, but as my boys get older, they are going to have friends and sports and car-pool, and you know....  I am wanting this.  But, have you seen the price tag?  Wow...  I need to get making some more products on TpT to afford this on a teacher's salary.
   
I am so needing a tan.  I use to work in the melon fields for 9+ summers way before teaching.  So I am use to having a decent tan.  My pale white skin needs some sunlight.

My summer bucket list is fairy simple.  I totally need to work on my landscaping this summer.  It would add so much to our home.  My husband and I are also planning to take the boys to the sand dunes in Michigan.  So...  Michigan teachers...  Help me out!!  Where is a good place to take two little boys?  Last...  Our barn needs to be re-painted!!  It has faded tremendously and needs a new coat of paint.

Go link up with Farley!!  We would love to read your Currently.
