 | Finished two books - awesome! Booked did not disappoint, but I think my favorite is still The Crossover. I also read Echo and Echo. Poetry is something that I want to read more of, so these two were perfect for me. What have you read this summer? |

 I often wonder if people in industries other than education get this tired at this time of year. Preparing for fifth grade graduation, wrapping up the school year in a meaningful way, getting grades done, final testing and analyzing results, packing up a classroom, and yes, moving to a new one. It's a wonder it all gets done, but it does, magically, each and every year.
A teacher friend reminded me today that I really don't need to make any drastic changes, but to stay true to my authentic teaching self. Actually, a few friends have said this. I am so fortunate to be in such a supportive community, where we lift each other and truly want the best for each other and the kids. So yes, I am tired, but I am blessed, too. Not to make excuses, but I thought I would be switching to another website, so I didn't update this one. In over a year. Anyway, I'm back - in a new school and in a new teaching situation for next year. I finished my math endorsement, do compliment adults daily, and finally earned 10,000 stickers on First in Math. So that's the update on 2015 resolutions. What am I doing now? Preparing for the end-of-year festivities for my fifth graders, a move to a new room, new students in 2 grades, and a new teaching format - Montessori. And, I'm presenting to my district on data next month. Having fun and staying busy. Check out my latest obsession! |
