Te@ch Thought - Blogger Challenge Day 1

I saw this on my facebook feed today and thought how I have not blogged in a long while.  I think I should try this to force myself to get in the habit of blogging more.  As a middle school teacher and University Adjunct Professor, I really should practice what I preach!  

So here is the link if any of you are inspired to try the challenge as well.  Join Me!  
Te@ch Thought 30 day Blogging Challenge.


September 1- Write your goals for the school year.

This school year I have a few different goals:

1.  Encourage my students to use their own internal motivation to want to learn in my classroom.  I will try to accomplish this task by offering engaging lessons where they can use skills along with curiosity to learn about topics that are interesting and inspiring to them personally.

2.  Organize myself so that I am prepared each day ahead of time with lessons for the students.  My plan is to complete Units of assignments so that they can be broken out by skill and topic.

3.  Not Sweat the Small Stuff as much this year.  I do not want to drain my energy this year with things I can not control.  This means a lot of different things in life in general!  

4.  Be the best teacher I can be and know that I am making a difference in someone's life, even if I do not know it now.  

5.  Practice Kindness and encourage this with my students each day in the classroom.

I am sure there are a lot more I could think of, but for now, here is my first blog post in a long while!  Woo!  Go Me!
