I’m thrilled to be
linking up with Farley from Oh Boy 4th Grade (it’s been way too long). I’ve been terrible about
keeping up my blog.
I’ve been watching the
Finals with my husband. I’ve kind of become a freak about basketball thanks to
my husband.
I’m so happy I can
finally relax! If you read my last post or follow on IG, you might have heard
that Friday was my last day. As sad as I was to leave I’m glad I can finally
breathe and be normal.
Next year, is going to
be so different as I navigate a new school and grade level. It was my idea to
move to first, but I’m still a little scared now it’s going to become a
reality. I already have some summer PD lined up though. My biggest concern is
literacy since there seems to be more of a focus on decoding, rather than
reading comprehension. Of course, I have had plenty of experience working with
students in the same range. I have to remind myself that I’m only moving one
grade level and not to worry. Sometimes, I worry too much and second-guess my
abilities.
I would love to
organize all the stuff I brought home with me! Holy cow! I put everything in my
teacher room and it is jam-packed. So much for putting that room together this
summer! I’m hoping to organize the boxes so I can move around in there at least. All of my crafting and Smashbook goodies are in there.
I’m headed to the TpT
conference next month!! Are you going? I really need to book a room before
everything fills up. I did book my first Cirque du soleil show though! Super
excited! What are your favorite things to do in Vegas?

I can finally get to work on my summer bucket list! Hooray! Teaching is
definitely my passion. During the school year I pretty much dedicate myself to
my profession. Of course, there is good and bad in this. I really neglect my
home, so it sure needs me during the summer. We built our home and moved into
it 2 ½ years ago, yet we have no photos up. Yikes! I
always joke that it could be anyone’s home because of how few pictures there
are around the house. My goal is to put up a gallery wall in the entryway full
of pictures and artwork that we have. I hope I can fill it up (it’s a long
hallway). #2 I would love to read a
good book for leisure. This NEVER happens during the school year. I can never
seem to find enough time. Perhaps Divergent
or Legend. Do you read during the
school year? Do you read during the school year? If so, how do you fit it into
your schedule? #3 Again, since I’m
moving to first I would like to look over the curriculum get some planning done
this summer. That’ll help ease some of the butterflies.
Stay tuned! I’ll keep
you posted on my progress. ^_^
Good luck switching grade levels! I am sure you will be fantastic! I am a second grade teacher and I can imaging how daunting that must feel to you to switch. I am new to teacher blogging and found your blog from the Currently link-up. Come visit our page at http://theclassroomcrazies.blogspot.com/! Enjoy your summer!
ReplyDeleteHi! I found you through this months Currently. I love to read for leisure but also can't find time to do so during the school year. I plan to do plenty this summer. Don't worry about 1st grade, I've taught it and it's not so bad...though I still prefer 3rd. You'll be great I'm sure. Come visit me at http://nickisnotepad.blogspot.com and have a great summer!
