August is around the corner and I've been busying planning the 2015-2016 school year through the summer in my spare time. I am busy making my goals, unit planning, classroom organizing, and preparing for the best school year yet.
Some of my professional goals for this year are:
1) Building more on my Choice Based Art Instruction philosophy in the classroom.
2) Flipped classroom demos with Grade 6's (stay tuned in the school year for their guest blog posts)
3) Go to the NAEA conference in Chicago to connect with other Arts Educator from around North America
4) Stay on top of new changes in unit planning, assessment, and report cards!!
What are your goals? Even though it is summer I am a true teacher at heart and love to plan/organize for the next school year. Visions of bulletin boards, better lesson plans, classroom management tips, and dressing for success swarm my head on a daily basis. This is of course in between my family time with S & E.
Every morning in July it has been a routine of sunrise watching (our skies in Saskatchewan are magnificent), yoga, coffee and Pinterest. Be sure to check out my boards as I use them on a daily basis in my classroom.
S&E are waking up and are ready to start their day. The computer will get closed and opened again tomorrow. Happy summer planning folks!
