Currently....

Yay!  It's time to link up with Farley!!!
I'm not sure about y'all, but I keep getting stressed hyperventilating freaking out when I hear about the level of accountability coming down next year in NC, so I've been fantasizing about a cubicle lately.  I think I might be having a *slight* midlife crisis.  So...  I am wanting less testing in 2nd grade!!!  I am excited about having a few Teacher Friends over tomorrow; it's great to get to chat!!!!  :)  What are y'all Currently up to?

    Sometimes the cubicle is tempting, but then I remind myself of beautiful days outside at recess, reading aloud a great book to eager listeners, and summers off of course. Hang in there : )

    I agree, the whole testing thing is totally out of control! A job in a cubicle doesn't sound so bad, does it?
