Each year I've tried to be a little more present online as a teacher. I'm more of a lurker than a poster and here I am, yet again, trying the #MTBoSBlaugust challenge. My goal is to blog 4 times before my school year starts on August 26th. I figured my first post would be a little self love since this has been a BIG year in my life both professionally and personally. Here's what I've accomplished since last August: 1) Took on the role of co-team leader for the 8th grade team as a 4th year teacher. 2) I got engaged in November to my loving fiance, Nick! 3) Got back into theater/drama as I produced my first show at my middle school in 6 weeks this Spring! 4) Finished my Master's degree from American College of Education in Curriculum and Design. 5) I bought a house with Nick! I close next Friday! 6) I said YES to my dress YESTERDAY! Whew! By the way.. I know Nick is the one because he let me be an absolute number nerd when picking our wedding date. And I'm sharing it because I know #MTBos will appreciate it. I'll be tying the knot on October 10, 2020. That's 10.10.2020. Now for my end of summer to do list. With closing next week, I can't even begin to think about preparing for school since there's packing to do. I love making to do lists because it helps me organize the chaos and gives me a focus. I may add more items before I cross things off but it works.
So, in no particular order, here's what I'd like to get accomplished before August 26th. 1. MOVE and clean. 2. There's one bedroom in the new house I need to paint. It's currently BRIGHT PINK. 3. Create my master Interactive Notebook for each of my preps for the year (I'll post more about that revamping soon). 4. Spend 2-3 days at school setting up my classroom and copying. I have a colleague that copied all of her INB pages for the 1st semester in the summer and #GOALS. It saved her so MUCH TIME. And I don't want to worry about copying when every other teacher in the building is copying. 5. Enjoy some more ME time, preferably at the beach.
