I'm actually excited about starting fresh with the new year. I purchased a few sets of behavior beads in August but I didn't feel they were a good fit for my class at the time. I think now would be perfect for introducing them and get my class re-energized in the new year!
I'd also fallen off the math centers wagon in the last month. Both my 3rd and 4th graders were studying fractions and I found myself teaching to both groups at times. It worked well for their initial chapters in fractions because my fourth graders needed a little review and I could introduce a couple of concepts earlier to my third graders. However, it's time to get back to centers! My kids need them and I love spiraling the math through the center activities. This means I need to print out a couple of new ones and pulling out a couple I made last year.
For Reading, I have so many ideas my head is spinning! This is where I will spend the bulk of my mapping time. There are just too many wonderful books, activities, and choices out there! Not to mention all of the fab TpT purchases I've made and still have in my wish list. :-) I definitely need to work on my fables/folk tales/myths/fairy tales unit and I can't wait to use Nicole Shelby's Greek Mythology products. I love all of her things. I also pinned a few things on Pinterest last night for this unit. I think this will be mid-January because I really, really want to start off with Mr. Popper's Penguins! I purchased a few things last year from TpT to use with my last group and they loved it!
And, of course, I hope to find time for blogging this year. I think about it a lot, but...well...you know...
What do all of you have up your sleeves for the New Year?

I had my TL a little more than a year ago when my third child was born via c-section. I was not told ANYTHING about the possible side effects of having this procedure. Since then I have experienced heavy bleeding lasting sometimes 3 weeks out of the month, weight gain, severe mood swings. Severe cramping, changes to my libido, severe depression accompanied by suicidal thoughts, headaches, migraines, many new symptoms & older issues are now exacerbated. The father of two of my children doesn't want me anymore. I've become too much of a pain in the ass I guess. We don't talk. We don't sleep in the same bed. I think he might really think I am crazy... & maybe I am. I feel crazy a lot of the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm unpredictable. I feel so angry about the whole thing & now what was once a mild fear of doctors has exploded into full on white coat syndrome that causes me to have a panic attack/hypertensive emergency (severe increase in blood pressure) whenever I have to deal with them. I'm not sure what to do... I fear the next time I have to see a doctor I'll have a stroke or a heart attack from the stress & anxiety of it... what do I do? I take my time and keep searching on internet looking for natural healing that how I came across Dr Itua herbal center website and I was so excited when Dr Itua told me to calm down that he will help me with his natural remedy I put my hope on him so I purchase his herbal medicines which was shipped to my address I used it as prescribed guess what?
