It's been forever since I posted, but adjusting to my new school has been all consuming lately. I truly underestimated what it would take to get a handle on more grade, a wider range of skills, and adjust to my new materials and supplies on a daily basis. In my old classroom, I had an awesome routine and two aides that helped me keep everything running smoothly day in and day out. Now, it's just me and much more coming and going from my students. I've been really focusing on keeping my thoughts positive in all aspects of my life lately so here are two of the awesome things so far this year that really make me proud: 1) My students are getting used to my style and I am understanding their needs and learning style more and more each day! The gains I'm seeing show that all of our hard work is paying off too. 2) I am taking and analyzing more data than ever before. This is huge for me because this has always been a struggle. I've even started graphing data. Click on the picture to get my graphs for FREE. Every year I try to make it priority but have never really been successful until now. I hope I can keep it up into the new year! While being reflective is awesome, I am starting to look into next year and make goals for my classroom and store: 1) Post more on my blog! I'm hoping to post at least once a month. 2) Be more organized across my whole life. I need to do a better job of keeping my teacher, mommy, personal, and student (I am taking courses to expand my license) lives balanced and organzied. 3) Keep building my store. One of the awesome things about making a change in my career is that I have lots of new and exciting ideas like the cut and paste journals I've been tweaking the last month or so. Now to just find the time to get them all finished! I hope you all have an amazing holiday season and are looking forward to 2017 as much as I am!
