Well, back to school is officially here! I have had a positive two weeks of getting to know my new babies and their families. I am enjoying my new school and feel so grateful to be here! I know that I am officially a nerd, because I get so excited entering Wal Mart or Office Depot and seeing buggies full of supplies!
I started data notebooks with my students this year...my third year doing them. It is so neat to see ten year olds make goals about school, sports, their family, and their faith. WOW-they get more mature as the years go by. I too started my five year journal a few months back. I highly recommend this....http://www.fredflare.com/AT-HOME-stationery/5-Year-Diary/. This is not the exact journal I have, but it is very similar. You basically write a small blurb each day on a page with 5 entries. The following year, your blurb for that same day will be under your previous year's entry. It is an awesome way to see where life is taking you and the things you have overcome. You will be amazed at how refreshed and relaxed you feel by simply using pencil and paper.
I am now feeling more convicted because although I have been dedicated to my journal, I have been slightly off with blogging. More to come, more frequently! Check out my new links under USANA and Stella and Dot as well.
I hope all of you teachers have had a great start to the school year. Remember that you may be the only hope to a child's future and their success (even the HTL-hard to love- ones)!
