Summer Planning

May 5, 2014 By Rachel

Hello friends!
Feliz Cinco de Mayo!!
It’s Monday Made-It Time with giveaway at the bottom!
I’m super stoked that it’s almost summer!
And that we will have these parties every Monday!
Or am I the only one who spends hours checking out all the craftiness?
So my to-do lists usually look like this!
Especially during the summer!
I end up having them all over the place, on a bunch of different pieces of paper, or in a bunch of different notebooks!
Well I’m determined not to let my summer be wasted this year.
My plan is to have all my lists in a centralized location.
 And maybe….just maybe my summer will be more productive!
In order to do that, I created this beauty.
I’ve already started filling in my calendar.
It’s it me or do your days fill up fast?
 I started writing down my goals.
Now hopefully my mind won’t continue to race of things I want to do this summer!
 I’ve even started planning out some projects.
Well mostly TpT projects, but I know the rest will fill up soon!
 To keep things moving, I created multiple to-do lists.
I love, love, love a weekly to-do list!
It keeps me focused.
The daily to do list will come in handy on those busy days of summer!
 I also have a morning, afternoon, and night to do list.
Because, well sometimes my lazy self needs to really break it down!
Honestly, when I made this it was all for me!
I made it based on how I function.
Then I thought, maybe someone else needs this too!
I’m sure there is someone out there that needs to be majorly organized in order to get anything done.
Especially during the summer!
The internet and tv can really suck me in!

      You are a woman after my own heart! One of my favorite things in life is checking things off a to-do list. Yours are just much cuter than mine!

      I have to write everything down too Rachel! I like it all laid out in front of me! Do you add things on your list and then cross them off your list if they weren't there to begin with to feel like you accomplished more??? I do! LOL!

I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
