Where has the time gone?

I can't believe that it's July! I'm starting to see ads for "Back To School!" Eeeeekk! No way! There is a bright spot right now though-- Tori at Tori's Teacher Tips is having a giveaway for Erin Condren products!! Woohoo!
Here is the link: http://toristeachertips.blogspot.com  Her blog is awesome, especially the Daily 5 materials! Check them out!

I have decided to join The Clutter-Free Classroom's project. This will mean taking "before" pictures of my room, following through by cleaning and organizing my disastrous closet, and then documenting with "after" pictures.  Will it show a real difference? Will it look as neat and organized as some classroom photos that I see on the web? I am a veteran teacher, and have slight "packrat tendencies" due to having taught many grade levels over the course of my career.  Maybe blogging about it will keep me honest!

Tomorrow is the last day of Winter vacation. My school bag is still sitting where I dropped it the afternoon of December 21. At least it made it into the house this time. Some vacations, it just sat in the back of the car, and went on rides around town.

Goodbye to 2012

December 31, 2012
Here I am on the last day of the year, with a new blog before me.... and very little knowledge of what to do next.  I know I want to write about the change to the new Common Core State Standards, and my new school, and the changes I have seen in education.  Other than that, I'm not sure!
