Currently – April Style! :)

By

GOOD MORNING Y’ALL!! 🙂
It’s April!! Which means it’s time for another fun hop of Currently – brought to you by the one and only Farley from Oh Boy 4th Grade! 
LISTENING – I’m pretty sure I may have been doing the same thing when I wrote the last currently – enjoying my coffee and working on my to do list in the quiet of the morning!
LOVING – I’m totally enjoying my *Spring Break* – not in a relaxing, sit on the couch and do nothing all day kind of way – it’s more of a YAYYYY I can ignore my lesson plan bag and keep on creating and connecting with all of you type of situation!! I just LOVE hearing your feedback and thoughts each and every day.  THANK YOU for supporting me constantly like you do!
THINKING At all times, my lists of what to get done . . . ok my NOTEBOOK full of lists of what to get done is overfloweth.  So every morning, I try to prioritize what I want to tackle first and what my big goals are for the day . . . “Currently” topped that priority list this morning haha 🙂 There will be much more to get done later!
WANTING – -Ok, y’all – I saw on a friend’s IG yesterday that there are now 99 DAYS UNTIL VEGAS!! This means 2 things . . .1. YAYYY I CAN’T WAIT TO MEET SO MANY OF YOU AT THE TPT CONFERENCE THIS SUMMER!!! I’ve already made so very many sweet friends and teaching teammates along the way on this journey of mine – and I can’t wait to spend 3 glorious days learning from all of you while we hang out in VEGAS! <3
……oh, and it also means 2. Put down the pretzels, Ashley. #snacksaremyweakness

NEEDING – Yeah, Spring Break calls for the ol’ scrub away the salty winter floors – – -it just hasn’t happened yet…I’d rather create . . .and organize clip art . . . and throw giveaways . . . and work on THIS:

 Eh . . . the floors can wait.  This is just way more fun 🙂 My name is Ashley, and I’m addicted to creating resources for my classroom.  That is all.
and lastly . . .
TIME – 8:15-3:45 is my day – Kids day is 8:45-3:30
And even with the rough winter, I’m pretty pleased that our last day is only June 4 (teacher day on the  5th, but that hardly counts – who doesn’t love a work day to reorganize binders and prep their room for summer?!?)
Oh, and I was a product updating and bundle making machine a bit yesterday(you all gave me that nickname, so I’m rolling with it for now haha) – so in case you missed it . . .  here are 2 of my most recent newbies/updates in my shop! 🙂
My BLOGGING BINDER got a few new pages added to it! 🙂 You can read all about my Blogger Binder HERE or check it out in my TPT store HERE or by clicking the image below.

Also, at request, I’ve bundled my grammar packs! They are some of the best selling packs in my store – as they add a great supplement to the grammar lessons/activities that your reading series already has in place! They are discounted off of the already discounted bundle price for the next 24 hours, too!
Check them out HERE or by clicking the image below!

I hope all of you have a GREAT April 1st! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂

    Hi Ashley! It is so cool to think you are in the quiet of the morning, and we are in the quiet of the night! Was so excited to see the construction kid on your cover – it looks great! I'm a bit addicted to creating resources too 🙂 Loved reading your blog, I will stop by more often!

    AH! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I was SO hoping you would, because I'm creating a whole set of Vocabulary "BUILDER" activities and resources using your construction kids, and I'm so glad you approve so far!! 🙂 🙂 So glad we were able to connect through the currently! Enjoy the quiet of your night! 🙂

    You sound like me, up at 6 AM during Spring Break! I love that quiet morning time when I'm the only one awake. Enjoy the remainder of your break.

    Courtney, your sweet and sincere comments make my heart smile so much!! I'm one that wears my heart on my sleeve and writes it all over my blog, so I'm sure you will learn lots about me the further you dig;) I'm so sad that I won't meet you in Vegas though!! I'm hoping that you get to go next year, too! Thanks so very much for a sweet start to the rest of my morning 🙂 🙂

    Wish I was going to Vegas but can't make it this year…but hubs gave me the okay for next year…hope you go then so we can connect! I'm a lot like you in that I am always busy and try to be as productive as possible…doesn't always work out that way though. You seriously inspire me all the time Ashley…you rock!
    Hope you've enjoyed your Spring break and have tackled a good amount of your to-do list 🙂
