Setting Goals

I have so many more things that I want to get done this summer. At least my pre-k kids start leaving this week (my pre-k program is year long, they stay until they actually start kindergarten) for kindergarten (our year round schools begin this week) and I will not have so many kids so that I can start getting ready for this fall (especially for the last week of August and first week of September when my new group starts). Also we are teaching a few new themes this fall that we have never done before, so I'm starting to look for ideas for those.

Plus I am also in school getting my k-5 teaching licence (and the hopefully finishing my masters once my teaching license is complete). I have my birth-pre k certification, but since it's not an actual NC license I have to do student teaching to get my k-5 license. Then I'm good to finish my masters (I needed a k-5 license for my program) and hopefully adding on my reading license as well. I do part of my student teaching this fall (one full day a week). Its going to be weird not being in my pre-k class everyday but I'm excited for getting to spend time in a different classroom. I find out next week what school and grade level that I'm working with. I'm hoping a K-2 class because I have no experience with anything above 2nd grade (besides for one reading class I took where I worked with a 4th grade class).

In addition to trying to finally actually organize all of my teaching items/lessons/games/books/stuff/etc including actual materials and everything that I have saved on my laptop. I bought a new flash drive just to organize all of my stuff on and it's been a slow process.

My "Letter Activities" folder with a subfolder for each letter, activities that include all letters, and vowel activities.

Then I have my TPT goals, blog goals (I want to add 10 new followers a week), work on my facebook page, I want to start a google plus page, the list of things I need to create for the upcoming year, then the ever growing list of ideas from all of the clipart that I have downloaded recently (which I still need to organize as well).

How about you? What's on your to do list that you want to get done before school starts back?
