Aug Currently & Jersey Girls Teacher Meetup!

This past week has been a whirlwind of happy things.  (Oh, summer, how I love you!)   I'm linking up with Farley in Oh Boy Fourth Grade! (a little bit late) for an August currently:

First....there was the Jersey Girls Teacher Meetup right in my backyard!  Well, ok.  Not in my backyard.  Actually at the Cheesecake Factory, whose ridiculous yum cannot be duplicated in my backyard.  This was my first teacher/blogger/TpT meetup and it was so much fun!

We talked so much about teaching and TpT, it was like... my peeps!  I have FOUND you!!!
These lovely ladies are (from bottom left, up and around): Amy from Eclectic Educating Sue from Science for Kids Me :) Maria from Everyone deServes to Learn Lisa from Bloomabilities/Dandy Doodles (who is practically my neighbor!  Get out of town!) Amie from Glitter Meets Glue Designs Karen from Silly Sam Productions Maria Whelan from @JerseyTeacher (on Twitter) Linda from Primary Inspiration Lauren Kenny  and Ashley from Anchored in Learning It was really neat to meet so many teachers from districts all over New Jersey and find out about all of our teaching positions, from kindergarten to first to ESL to basic skills to retired 1st/Reading Recovery and then some... but we all had blogging and TpT in common, along with other things we found out along the way.  Thanks so much to Maria for hosting (and even bringing us all adorable teacher pads)! Of course, I have also been shopping away at the TPT Back to School SALE, which ends today:

  Good thing my little store is having a great couple of sale days, since I am enjoying shopping at everyone else's!  :)
