I’m excited to be linking up with Oh Boy It’s Farley for the first time! Here’s what I’m up to these days. :)

Listening: Gilmore Girls! Y’all. I love me some Lorelai and Rory. I have seen the seasons so many times that I can’t even keep track. I just start at the beginning and keep going. I have seen the episodes so many times that I don’t have to watch the screen at all, so I can actually get a lot done while listening to it. Do you have a favorite show that you’ve seen over and over? Or maybe it’s just me. Who knows.

Loving: My Class. Cheesy, I know, but seriously. I have such a great crew this year. Lately I have been reflecting on my past two years of teaching, and this one is by far the best. I have some crazy funny kids this year. They are silly and love to laugh. We are constantly laughing. These kids tell the silliest jokes and crack themselves up. They love learning and get so excited about understanding a new concept. (Who knew compound words could be so fun until this week?) They have such kind hearts, too! My kiddos are always helping each other, whether it is cleaning up or helping read a book. I definitely lucked out this year, you guys. I don’t even want to think about them leaving me!

​​Thinking: About the LIRPA LOOF. Yesterday was April 1st, better known as April Fools. I got my class GOOD this year. We read a story about the Lirpa Loof Bird and then found the adjectives. (We’ve been studying adjectives this past month!) When we read that these special birds migrate in the first week of April, the kiddos got SO excited. Then after reading that they eat carrots, I shared that I actually brought a carrot if they wanted to go look for one. We decided to make our own carrots and head outside. They bought it hook, line, and sinker. They were holding those carrots above their heads and chanting, “lirpa loof, lirpa loof!” It was hilarious!

​Wanting: A piece of cheese toast. Sounds weird, but it’s true. It’s my favorite go to snack. A piece of 
Bay’s Southern Sourdough Bread, lightly toasted, with a slice of thin-cut provolone cheese is quite close to perfection. Thank goodness my mom got me a loaf when I was home in Nashville for spring break last week.

Needing: This pretty weather to stay! Today was so pretty! It was in the 60s and sunny! We had some storms earlier this week, but this weekend’s weather has been so good. We were even able to go outside for recess yesterday – something the kids and I BOTH need.

Whatever: #teachertired. It’s a real thing. I love my job. I love my kids. I love my friends. But whew. Sometimes I’m just worthless! Coming back after spring break was rough this time! Our schedules are all messed up – eating, bathroom, sleep, all of them! Gracious. You’re a teacher, you get it.

​​Hope you all have a great April! :)

Teacher tired IS a real thing! So... a million years ago (almost), my daughter's second grade teacher taught them how to make Stone Soup. You HAVE to put the stone in or it won't turn out! They bought it 100%. That is what I thought of when I read about your LIRPA LOOF. Isn't it great to have a great class! I have a great class this year as well!

Yes it is! Oh, stone soup! I haven't thought about that book in YEARS! I'm so glad you have a great class, too! It truly makes all the difference. :)

My coworker and I got them with the Lirpa Loof, too! Every single one of them fell for it!

I have never heard of the Lirpa Loof, but I want to try it!!!! Did you end up admitting the truth to them? One year I had a group of second graders believing I rode a magical unicorn to school everyday and the only reason they didn't see it outside was because it was invisible. I never backed down from the fib...
I do that all the time with TV shows that I don't have to watch! Gilmore Girls is one of them!
So much fun in this post!

Yes, we did tell them. I write it down on the sidewalk with chalk and they read it...their faces were priceless when they figured it out!
Your unicorn is hilarious! I'll have to keep that idea tucked away for another year. ;)
