Wednesday link up!

This link up  from Third Grade Galore and Digital Divide and Conquer is  just what I needed to write out my Wednesday thoughts. 
My Win

Check out my new blog design by Megan from A Bird in Hand Designs. It's awesome! I cannot thank her enough for listening to what I wanted and making it come to life. Thank you Megan!


My Loss

My car has been dirty for a month now. I keep telling myself I am going to take it in for a wash but I haven't. Poor baby, I will show it some love soon. This image is from google search, I assure you my car isn't this dirty but it feels like it is. 


My Cost

"Arrrg"... I have started some of my summer reading today with Dave Burgess' Teach Like A Pirate. I first heard about this book on instagram during Teacher Talk Tuesday. #teachertalktuesday 
Side bar: I love instagram. It's a lot fun getting to see quick glimpses into teachers daily routine through images. 

A teacher posted that she had started reading the book and was getting inspired for the new school year.  The title alone had me intrigued. After doing some research I knew this was a book I wanted to read and purchased a copy on Amazon. So far the book has been really entertaining and helping me focus on what I want from this new school year. I look forward to reading more and sharing my thoughts. Have an awesome Wednesday everyone.

Until next time...

  5. Thanks for stopping by and linking up. I was hoping that was your own Jeep...I kind of liked it that way. Your new blog design looks great and thanks for sharing who did it.

    I feel like I'm the only one who isn't reading about teaching like a pirate. I'll add it to the list.

    thanks again for linking up with us.

  7. Megan did an awesome job with your blog design Mr. G! Thanks for linking up with me! I hope your first year teaching third grade was an amazing experience for you. I have one week left of school with my kiddos, and following that it looks like I'm going to have to get my hands on "Teach Like a Pirate"! Can't wait to see what you'll be sharing here!
