Back to School Goals and GIVEAWAY

I'm linking up with I {heart} Recess for her Back to School Goals linky.  What a neat set of goals to think about.

 Personal: My husband and I are realizing that we have to stay healthy in order to take care of our children and live our life to the fullest.  With that said, this summer we have spent a lot of time trying to get out healthy lifestyle back.  My goal is to continue with that lifestyle once the hustle and bustle of school work starts.

Organization:  Along with my personal goal, I am hoping to find a good schedule for me and my family for this school year.  Last year I always felt rushed in the mornings.  My hope is to wake up slightly earlier and try to leave a little before 7:00 as opposed to 7:15.  This will allow me to drop off my daughter at daycare and get to my new school by maybe 7:20 but 7:30 at the latest.  It will be a very different experience with my husband and I teaching at different schools this year.  I will have to keep us all organized in order to make it all work!

Planning:  My goal is to stay a week or so ahead with planning since I am joining a new school and team of teachers.  The nice part of that is I will only be the third teacher on the team.  It will be different for me to work with only 2 other teachers as opposed to 4.  Since I have taught kindergarten before, I feel like it will be a fantastic year!!

Professional:  I am SUPER excited to join the staff at my new school.  Since I did my student teaching there, I am familiar with some of the teachers.  I am really looking forward to getting to know the other teachers and working with them this year!!

Students:  My goals is to get to know everything I can about my students.  I am excited to meet a new group of kids and hope to touch each of their lives while watching them grow!

Motto: My motto is to be positive and do the very best I can!  There might be challenges along the way on my new journey, but I know that if I'm positive and do the best I can I will overcome!!!!

Ok...now it's your turn.  Grab this copy of the goals picture and head over to I {heart} Recess to link up!!

June Monthly Goals

I am linking up with I {heart} Recess to share my goals for June. 

Since my husband is a teacher too, we will spend 2-3 weeks at the beach once school gets out.  We LOVE the beach!!!  We will spend a lot of time with each other since we are so busy during the school year.  Our daughter will have a fun summer too!

I am excited about my reading projects.  I read Guided Reading last summer but plan to review it during the blog book study this summer.  I am looking forward to reading and reflecting (through the blog world) on Guided Math and How to Teach Like a Pirate. 

Happy Wednesday!!  Only 6 days left!!!!
