I am still in the middle of scheduling, verifying the proposed schedule, trial run of the schedule, and rolling with whatever changes need to be made. I've gotten to stay in the same position as last year serving the same schools as before, so although there is still a lot of "new", I am very lucky to have so many familiar things as well. Familiar students, familiar parents and familiar teachers can make for a smooth transition into the new year. Well, as smooth as can be expected. I don't want to make it sound terrible, but no matter what, new dilemmas always present themselves. Plus I always have a little higher expectations of myself then I had the previous year. All in all, though, it's been a great beginning to a new school year.
In June, I began setting goals for myself, particularly for my TPT store. Goal setting has been a game-changer for me. It keeps me focused and I definitely need help staying focused. So tonight as I finished a project that I'd been trying to start for the last few months, I cannot help but think (and be proud), that I was able to stay the course and work my way to being closer to the goals I set in June. Stay focused, believe, and in time you will achieve.
I hope you are making it through your first few weeks of school successfully. It's going to get easier soon. Set your goals, break them down into manageable steps and go for it!
The project that I finished was for a structured approach to teaching comparatives and superlatives. Get it here for the first 48 hours at 50% off.
