What Julia is thinking about

Hello everyone. I'll be concise on this blog as I write; not because I don't enjoy writing, but because time managment during prep is one of my personal goals this year : ) Lists usually help me, so I'll use that format here:

1- I'm thinking of revamping a prep schedule that I began using two years ago and sticking to it as well as I can. Along those lines, I'm going to attempt to keep two windows of twenty minutes each unscheduled Thursday and Friday as catch-up (which I know from using my previous schedule I'll need : )

2- I'm thinking about and anticipating my first trip to the Brown County Library for "book look" books. I LOVE this trip and try to do a "book look" once per quarter. In short- I use good books as teasers to help students begin their, "I HAVE to read this!" lists in their Reader's notebooks : )

3- I'm excited to start Graduate school and apply what I'm learning in my classroom.

4- I'm SO excited to meet my kids....summer days by myself can be long at times for a social person like me : ) Thank goodness for bookclub!

That's it in a nutshell- Julia
