I promised myself I wouldn't even think about school until August. I almost kept that promise. BUT- how can any teacher not think about school in summer? I love summer for obvious reasons, but it also allows us to imagine what the following year could be like.
For starters, I want to blog more next year. I just started blogging last year. I'd love to commit to once a week. If I could just write something short and sweet about the week on a Friday afternoon. Tune in to see if I keep that promise.
I'm going deskless this coming year. I'm not sure if I'll regret it or not. Honestly, my desk was just a place to keep carefully crafted piles to which only I knew the contents. I'm sure I can find a new place to harbor my organized chaos.
I'm going to "try" flexible seating. Which I haven't worked out all the kinks, but I'm pretty sure it won't be much different from what I was already doing. My students are usually able to work anywhere in the room as it is. I'm thinking this year, they will not have a desk that it their own. They will have a place to store their things, but desks will not be claimed. You are going to have to tune in to see how this works out.
So there you have it- I made it to August 2nd, and here I am blogging about my hopes for a fresh new year.
