Currently...October

It's October!! My favourite month of the year and my favourite season, Fall.
I can't believe how the first month of school just flew by. I meant to blog before school started and then once again in September.

Currently, I am listening to my husband making dinner. It's always nice to have dinner made. 

I love Fall! I love watching the leaves turn colours and the cooler temperatures. Today in central Ontario, it felt like 6 degrees Celsius. I love layering up and going for walks. I also celebrate a birthday and anniversary in October.

I am thinking about how lucky I am to have wonderful girlfriends. I just got back from a night away at the cottage with an extraordinary group of ladies.We spent the night drinking wine, talking and laughing.

I am wanting a long weekend only because since school started in September, I feel like I haven't stopped. This past week, I was overhearing a group of teachers saying how they're feeling overwhelmed and finding it hard to keep up. I feel the same way. September is busy and it's not going to slow down for a while. As teachers, we know what's coming. I'm trying to not complain because I really do have a great class of 24 grade 4 students that mostly like coming to school. They make me laugh and I have a great time with them, but it's all the responsibilities beyond the classroom that makes it tough. I think a long weekend would be good for all. Luckily in Canada, Thanksgiving happens in October.

I need to clean my house, enough said.

And finally, the treat. I don't have much to offer other than I hope everyone can enjoy some yummy treats on Halloween. I look forward to trick-or-treating with my 2 year old son.

  1. I teach 4th grade too :)

    Oh I wish we had a long weekend coming up!! Although right after Halloween we have no students on Monday and then a day off on Tuesday for election day. I can't wait for that! Although the Monday will be full of meetings and grades, knowing I have the next day off will be a big treat :)

  2. Hi! I found you through Currently. I am a 2nd grade teacher from Ohio. I hear you about the long weekend! We actually got spoiled two weeks ago and had a surprise Friday off due to severe fog. I actually went to school and worked-- it was great to get caught up on some things. Three day weekends are amazing. We won't get one again until Thanksgiving... unless we get more fog!! :)

  3. I love fall too! Unfortunately we don't get much of it in South Florida. I completely understand about the long weekend....I think we could all use one of them right now!

  4. I am looking forward to Canadian Thanksgiving, too. I'm in BC and we only just started back to school because of our strike. It is October 5 and I have only had one full week with my class! It feels crazy overwhelming!!! Enjoy Fall in Ontario.
