Currently September

Linking up with the wonderful Farley for Currently September



SERIOUSLY....where did the summer go.....June was spent under water here in the Midwest, and NOW we need rain, and it is 4th of July weather in September...Welcome to IL weather!! Ok, here we go....

Listening......

Finally got our 30 year old TV antenna fixed and now watching shows of my youth...

Loving......

When one has dogs from classroom left over reuse them in the garage

I have started and stopped the garage many times before, but this time I did it.....

Wanting......I was so enjoying not having the air on and the windows open.....

Needing......

So this summer someone dumped 2 cats, neighbor took one, the other here was preggers, 4 kittens later, momma moved babies into my nice clean garage for safety sakes.(live in country where coyotes and owls are numerous) 

3 Goals....1. Starting to get my mojo back and it felt soooooo good to organize the garage (oh like a cabinet hung from Grandparents home that sat since 1998)

2. At this point in my life, I am still helping but I am doing it on MY TIME, when I choose so

that it doesn't consume me again.

3. I need to get back on this, I did well and then ....walking the dog 

There you go, go forth and link up and Thanks for stopping in ....

Listening .....Here in IL finally getting crops into the fields (live in farm community) 
Loving........We had a few freeze warnings last week .....
Thinking....Yard work....plus plant garden center buys from yesterday....before it starts raining

Wanting.....Dear mojo where have you gone? I have GRAND plans then .....nada......need to start planning a daily to do and sticking to it .....

VIP Grandstand Ticket Holder

As you know I have a TPT store, it is one of the side shows at the Circus called "Labby's Lounge"
I am wanting to have a group of educators who will be my VIP Grandstand ticket holders here. This will give you my reader (if chosen) a chance to try out my product for free in your classroom. Like I have said in the past I used these in computer labs, but I am wanting to branch out!! Sound interesting? Fill out the form below and I will get back to you ! Thanks

What's New and Blog Freebie

As you know I worked in Computer Labs for 9 years, and over those years I collected ALOT of websites to use with K-3rd grades.

 I would put into folders as needed this picture shows the "holding" folder of ones that I changed out depending on the theme/topic each class was doing .....

This shows how many times my links were used

I've decided to share them via a TPT store. They are great for labs, computer centers in the classroom. 

For my loyal blog readers I have created a freebie based on my latest product. This freebie is only available on the blog.

 This was used when the students were studying Space in their classrooms. This is K/1 level BUT I used it K-3rd labs as we all know not everyone is AT Level .......The whole product can be found HERE....

.Below is the K/1 page along with the checkoff cards. The checkoff cards are great as you print, laminate them and give to the student as they work on that page, they check off (with a dry erase marker) as they complete a star. You can be doing RTI with ones that need the one on one work, while your other students do this. I hope you enjoy this, and let me know if you have topics/themes you would like me to do .....as you can see I have QUITE a few links I have used!!!  Thanks for stopping by!!  Let me know what you think! Make sure to follow my store HERE !
