July Currently & What I've Learned....

I'm linking up with Farley for the July Currently!  I've learned a ton of stuff in the month since I started blogging. 

• Pictures are a must!  I'll try to upload at least one with each post.  Otherwise pinning to Pinterest isn't very exciting.
• A "linky" party... where you link to other websites and follow their instructions to participate along with others to answer questions etc.  (Had to learn how to do this through a lot of trial and error - sorry to anyone I may have bothered while trying this on my own!)
• I need to learn HTML....
• You should post to other blogs to get yourself out there.  People aren't just going to "happen" across your blog.  Be LOUD! :)

Thanks to those of you who've stopped by and read some.  I'd love to hear from you with your comments and suggestions to make Mission: Math better!



LISTENING - I'm at an IB Conference in Keystone, CO right now and it's awesome.  Don't you get so excited and motivated when you go to something like this (like the NCTM this year in Denver - fantastic!!)?  I've just started and hope to learn how to effectively implement IB and the Common Core together.
LOVING - These mountains are beautiful.  It makes me want to go check on our trailer that's been sitting in storage since we moved to CO.  I wonder how many rodents have made my trailer their home...
THINKING - Alaska is quickly approaching!  I'm so excited for this family vacation and to see a place I've never been to.  We're cruising up and then spending an extra week.  No math allowed!
WANTING - I need more summer.  Four weeks have gone by so quickly and by the time I get back from vacation I'll only have about two weeks before I have to go back.  I'm not ready!
NEEDING - I want to create a craft supply box for each table grouping in my classroom.  I tried taking a Blue Moon box (my husband was really happy) and covering it with duct tape, but I don't know if I like the way it looks.  I've see painted and glued cans as well, but I don't know...  No need to break the bank here! 

Happy July everyone!
