2017-2018 New Year's Resolutions

This week's prompt is Goals; click the picture above for more information on this weekly blogging challenge.

My mantra for the year is: add layers of new to the foundation you love!

Professional

• Incorporate #VNPS once per unit
• Incorporate a debate prompt of some sort once per unit
• Upgrade interactive notebook pages whenever possible to be succinct and easy to follow independently
• Make better use of Google Classroom
• Bring back concept attainment, my favorite way to teach!
• Amplify voices in the #MTBoS, even when my voice seems silent

Personal

• Keep doing the daily workouts I've been somewhat enjoying this summer
• Save money ahead of time for things like birthday and Christmas...they aren't surprises
• Keep my magic sparkles fueled on a daily basis!

Professionally and Personally

• Sprinkle my #MTBoS magic wherever I go while doing my best to see and bring out the magic in others

While I have felt a huge burst of confidence professionally in the past weeks, I've been working on it personally for years. Some changes I've made recently and will continue to do:

• Daily scripture journaling
• The only Bible reading plan I've ever stuck with
• Walking 12,000+ steps a day
• Having everything ready to go for the next morning before I leave school
• Lesson planning on Saturdays to free up my weeknights
• Keeping the Sabbath (Sundays for me)..."A Sunday well spent brings a week of content"
• Laying out my clothes/accessories/shoes and packing my lunch/bag the night before 

Happy New Year!
