I am heading back into the classroom tomorrow for the second half of our school year! Am I dreading putting on make-up and wearing real clothes? Absolutely! I LOVE my Christmas break and spending time with my family, playing games, and getting to have some me time. However, I am excited to see my students and hear about their time off. I love that they are as tired in the morning as I am because, hey, we enjoyed sleeping in a bit. I love that some of them want to share a story with me. I love that some of them are excited to see me and get some “normalcy” back (and some of them might hug me – yay!)
So, what are we going to do tomorrow? Well…..we are going to start our morning off easy with a word search! I don’t do these very often, so this is going to be a nice change of pace. I found this little snowman word search for free here!
After that, we are going to discuss what “resolutions” are. I personally don’t set the typical “I am going to lose __ pounds” resolutions, but I do think it is a great way to reflect and have a great growth mindset!
Since this is 2023/2024, I am going to use those digits to have the students reflect and make goals. Wanda R. shared this idea in a teacher Facebook group and I decided to make it into a freebie! Just sign up below to receive it free by e-mail!
We are also going to start this New Year 3-D craft. It has a bit of math, some writing, goal setting of course, and loads of fun coloring pages. Bonus: All the years up to 2027 are already included! Bam!
