We have just 3 and a half days left in school so I can practically touch summer. My list is half bucket list/half plans I already have.
1. Ace my first 2 graduate school classes! I started my Master's program 2 weeks ago & want to graduate with a 4.0!
2. Spend quality time with my friends! I'm still very close with a group of girls from my sorority pledge class. Even though we group text
3. READ. I love reading. Apparently I'm not the only teacher who does, because this has been on just about every list I've read. Check out my Pinterest board of books that are on my wish list! Also, wanting to finish the Divergent series; I'm on the last book!
4. Speaking of my Pinterest, I need to organize my hot mess of teacher boards. I have 3 teacher boards: one for teaching ideas, one for anchor charts & one of classroom inspirations. Lately, it's been hard to figure out WHERE things are. I didn't want to be "that girl" with 100 boards of different teaching things, but I'm not in college anymore so teaching pins are 99% of my pins anyway. That and animals. I have a problem with animal pins.
5. Get off the couch and work out. I've been wanting to make this a priority for a long time, but it never happens. Maybe this is the summer I'll do it!
6. Binge-watch Netflix. Orange Is The New Black, Private Practice, Scandal. Oh and old episodes of Grey's Anatomy for no reason except that it's my favorite.
7. Go to California! I haven't been on a vacation in awhile and I am so excited! Can you believe that every family vacation we've been on has been on the East Coast?! We've never gone all 5 of us to the West Coast. I can't waaaaait!
8. Of course, thinking about teaching. I can't turn my brain off for the summer completely! I'll be reading professional development books, spending unnecessary amounts of money on things from Really Good Stuff, Lakeshore & Scholastic. I have a problem. I have tons of little projects I've been holding off on until summer. I want to make a banner of covers from hardback books. Like this one from Maria. I am also creating a leveled library in addition to my already themed library. WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?! Oh, and buying some sort of math manipulative organizer. I'M THE WORST.
9. Looking into becoming a Stella & Dot stylist. I love the jewels and know someone who already sells it. I miss working at Express and styling people, but I'm not sure if I really need another job?!
10. Spending time working at the preschool! I love working with kids with autism and have been a teacher's assistant in the summer before. I'm so excited to spend time with some little ones.
What are you planning for summer?
Like you said, I'm pretty sure we are twins :) Orange Is The New Black is just soooo good! I'm so excited for the second season to come out in June! I feel like they have made me wait entirely too long for the second season to come out!
ReplyDeleteAnd, to comment to your comment on mine, YES LET'S BE RUNNING BUDDIES! Let's make this happen ASAP please and thank you!
Congrats on starting grad school! Where are you going through?? Random, but I was teaching partners with someone you know and she pointed out to me that YOU are the girl on the Northwest sign in Platte City! So, I see you basically every time I drive to work. That makes me sound super creepy, right?!
3 1/2 days! You can do it! Congrats on finishing your first year of teaching! It only gets better from here!
