- Read Gone With the Wind
I tried last summer and I couldn’t get through it. It doesn’t help that
the main character drives me nuts…Oh, Scarlet!
- Organized Classroom Supplies
I’d really like a clutter-free classroom next year. I always end up with
piles of papers everywhere and I hope I can set up a system that will prevent
this. I’d also like to be able to easily find everything!
- Create Reward Cards with Vista Print
In the past, I’ve used a ticket and store system. The store was made up
of mostly candy and junk toys which I’d like to move away from. I just need to
figure out how to make it work.
- Develop a Classroom Procedures (book/brochure)
I saw this on the blog Caffeinated Conclusions. It seems like a great way
to let parents and students know what’s going on.

- Plan out DOT Binders for Students
I’d really like to use these Daily Organization Tool Binders with my students.
I think it will help teach responsibility and organization, promote
family-teacher communication, and limit the amount of times I hear “I don’t
know where [insert lost item] is…” I’ve seen these binders called a lot of
different things but I’m thinking of going with a star and polka dot classroom
theme, so a DOT binder works great!

- Stay on top of graduate class work
I am a chronic procrastinator and with it being summer it just gets
worse.
- Exercise 3 times a week
I’d like to work up to being able to complete a 5k. I just downloaded
couch to 5k and I’m excited to try it!

- Donate items to Goodwill
I have a lot of items I don’t use…a floor lamp, couch, clothes. Instead
of letting them take up space I need to donate them, so someone who really
needs them can use them.
- Plan Lessons (At least for first marking period)
This will mostly depend on how soon I know what I will be teaching next
year. I just hope I know soon enough so I can actually be more prepared this
year.
- Start AND Finish Crafts
I
have a T-shirt quilt to finish and lots of crafts from Pinterest I want to do…
