My Summer Bucket List

I am linking up with Teri at A Cupcake for a Teacher, April at A Modern Teacher and Miss Kindergarten.Here is My Summer Bucket List

1. Make Classroom decorations for next year. I love the Rainbow Collection over at Schoolgirl Style. She has some amazing classroom set-up's over there. I Love the poms hanging from the ceiling!

2. Finish installing our new fence, and get the pond at least started this year. 

3. Finnish organizing my classroom library. Since I do Title 1 intervention. I keep it at home.

4. Spend time with my family camping, fishing, and boating. 

Thank A Teacher

I found this and thought I would share :-)


Thank you for stopping by! Donna over at Math Coaches Corner spotlighted the this post. Don't for get to follow my blog and check out my TPT store as I get them both up and running! Have a great Sunday!

Well my co-worker over at Live, Laugh, Love, Teach have 21 days left of school. I am excited for the end of the year, but now we have the task of testing 80 children that are on our Title 1 caseload. 

 So I am passing the time linking up with fellow bloggers! This time I am linking up with Amber over at Adventures of a Third Grade Teacher. 

3 Great Things

1. Our district has graciously trained our educators in:

 7 Habits of Highly Effective People! Next year we will do, The Leader in Me book study. 

                  

2. I kept my job as a Title 1 teacher. Last year I only taught K-1 literacy. This year I was given the opportunity to teach K-4 Literacy and Math Intervention. 

3. Working in 1 building and NOT having to travel between buildings. This has given me the ability to get to know the staff and feel like I belong. Instead of the disconnect I felt last year going between buildings. 

3 Not-So-Great Things

1. I have found that there is just not enough time in the day. I am on the run from the time I wake up until the time that I go to bed. I never imagined that being a wife, mom and teacher would be such hard work. 

2. Piloting a new math intervention program mid-year. I love the fact that I now have a curriculum to follow but we started mid-year which is making it difficult. The program is great and it is a wonderful asset to our program.

3. Still working on this one!

I've been blogstalking for quite a while now and I think I'm finally ready to start my own. I honestly don't know how often I'll be able to update, I guess I'll just wait and see. I appreciate all of the ideas I've gotten from other blogs, and I look forward to sharing my blog with you!
