Welp...

I have started a couple different blogs...and never stick with it.  My hopes with this blog is to have an organized place to think through new ideas for next year!  Yes, I realize there are still 2 months of school left, but I see some definite places that need improvement!!

Goals for Next Year:

Math: Get through more chapters then this year!!  We changed books in the middle of the second quarter and have yet been able to catch up.

English: TEACH WRITING!!  I would love to work in a writing class seperate from our grammar class...maybe half and half??

Literature: Have units ready for all novels taught next year.  I am just finishing up a Literature Unit for The Wednesday Wars and have really enjoyed the process.

Social Studies: Put some life in the class!  We started using Interactive Notebooks at the beginning of 2nd semester, but I'm not quite where I want to be with them yet.

Science: Get through more science!  Unfortunately, I find myself skimping on Science to get the core subjects done :(

Handwriting: NO MORE HANDWRITING!!
