I don’t know about you, but as a teacher I have never felt like my New Year starts on January 1st. I have always felt like August was the beginning of the year for me, and I would always make my resolutions around this time of year.
July 4th signals the halfway mark of summer, and the anticipation of the upcoming school year starts. The thought of all the new things I can try this year and the chance to start over is so exciting to me!
This summer I have been working on actually writing down my management procedures, and thinking through some that I have never thought through before. I am hopeful that this will lead to a smoother running classroom, as that has always been a struggle for me in the past. My students don’t run wild, but there are definitely points in the day and year where my current systems break down, or the lack of systems is made very clear. Taking the time to do this will save so much time and headache during the school year, and I am so excited for that!
What are your New Years Resolutions?
