My First Post! :]

I have been addicted to teaching blogs through lovely Pinterest and thought, "Hey! I can do that!" So here I am, trying to make this a worthwhile blog for myself and others.  My problem will DEFINITELY be updating this blog.  I have a hard time keeping up on new ideas - I'm not going to lie - so posting my tasks from school and ideas will hopefully be bountiful and not become scarce as the school year starts. 

For myself, to start this summer, I have to figure out what needs to be disregarded, tweaked, or added next year. Let's think...

Disregard

The Pigman (in general)

Final project for The Giver

Tweak

Snapshot project

Time spent on poetry

Classroom library management

Literary Contrasts timeline

Medieval stories

Add

Clash of the Classes (YAY!! :])

Interactive Notebooks (double yay! :]])

Lottery tickets for incentives

 Pinterest completely consumes me.  It's amazing how addicting looking through ideas I will probably never use actually gets! Maybe I should pick a few to actually try to implement - especially for school - through this summer.

    

Well, the good thing is I have all summer to figure out what I'm going to do with my classroom next year.  I want a theme, whether idea or colors, for my room next year.  I'll be posting things I did in class that I need to remember next year, so it won't get lost in my madness of organization.  What a productive first post!  Yay!

Loves, 

Maria
