Hurricane Sandy ~ Teachers Helping Teachers and CURRENTLY

I am amazed at all the photos showing the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. 

I have been trying to figure out something to do.

Laurah is linking up with bloggers to help out teachers in need.

Thanks Laurah.

I thought I would post CURRENTLY at the same time thinking that more teachers would see how they can help out other teachers.

Oh, how I love my wood stove in the morning when no one else is up. Coffee, computer, fire..NICE!

In NYS we have this new evaluation system going into place. I say going because they keep changing it on us. I know in the grand scheme of things that this is a good thing. Holding teachers responsible and all that, but it is stressing everyone out! Is this what's best for our students? I am not so sure. 

How does your school/district/state deal with teacher evaluations?

December planning. I know that November goes by soooooo quickly and then we are into December. Ahhhh! It was snowing, just a little bit, yesterday. I let the kiddos look out the window and get all excited. :) The looks on their faces are priceless. One of my firsties blurts out, "It's Christmas!!!". Oh Man! Am I in trouble for the next couple weeks! :)

I am researching a new camera. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my camera, but I am growing out of it. :)

Clean my house...maybe I'll ask my mom to come up and help.

I love to put Pandora on when we are writing or doing something quiet. I just have a classical station that we listen to. Love it!

Now head on over to Farley's blog and link up. I look forward to this every month!

Have a wonderful day!
