I am beggining my second year of teaching 4th grade. I am HOPEFUL that my experience last year will make this year easier, so I might have some free time to blog instead of stress about school.
I haven't been up at school much this summer. I went a few times last week and preplanning starts Wednesday. No big projects this year - I conquered most of those last year. I will post a few things I create in the next few days like my ticket out the door chart, pencil borrowing system, and goal setting charts!
I did get the chance to revamp a VERY unloved bookshelf I found in the "free" pile at school. I wish I had taken a picture of it before! I covered the beat up edges in washi tape and covered the back in some cute mustache paper that I found in the locker section at Hobby Lobby. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out for relatively cheap ($3 washi tape that I used for other projects and $2 mustache paper!).
A FEW STARTER GOALS FOR THE YEAR:
BLOG! Stay on top of paperwork mountain... I have a tendency to let papers pile up! Become a DATA master. Take pictures of the kids and PRINT THEM to hang up in the room. Remember that they are just kids and have fun during the daily grind :) Get and stay organized!
Preplanning starts Wednesday. Kids come next Wednesday!
