My New [school] Year's Resolution

Ahhhh, this time of year is filled with anticipation! While I have loved staying home with my little guy, a part of me is just itchin' to get back into the swing of things. 


With a new year, comes new goals and resolutions. Let's see if I can stick to them this year!

RESOLUTION #1 - Implement the Daily 5 format into my classroom routine.

I read about the Daily 5 years ago. I agree very much with the philosophy but couldn't figure out how to make it work in my classroom. Well this year, I'm going to make it work! I know it will be challenging in the beginning getting it going, but I can't wait to see how students respond and progress throughout the year.

RESOLUTION #2 - Be more productive during the school day. 

While I do love my job, I am a mommy first and foremost and I hope that I can accomplish more during the school day this year. This will free up time at home so I can spend it with my sweet baby boy.

RESOLUTION #3 (and I make this one every year) - Be more organized.

Siiiiiiiigh. I try. I really do. But my desk is just a nightmare. Maybe I should just get rid of it all together?
