In May when I finished the final testing on my students from last school year, I had a student who made the greatest improvement of my career. It was exhilarating and I was so proud of his accomplishments. What felt even better is that he was proud of himself and has continued this school year making great gains and loving to read and learn at home (Another plus is I got to be close to his parents and have continued to touch base with them. I love when that happens!)
I took the summer to really rejuvenate myself and have set up boundaries this school year so that I'm leaving at a decent time and taking time for myself in the evenings so I am not stressing myself out as much as in the past. I've also started this blog- I love sharing ideas and different tips I've learned so that help other educators or readers that work with young minds.
As I think about next year, I really want to start blogging more regularly. I have a goal to finish big projects I've started in my room and get a new behavior system up and running in the next couple weeks.
A very dear friend gave me this wonderful book for Christmas: The 52 List Project by Moorea Seal. It's a book to help guide an inspire your life. I plan on making this a weekly session where I take time for myself to go through the book and see where this book helps me end up at the end of 2016.
Cheers to getting inspired and living your best life yet!
