Mid-summer thoughts

As the first week of July comes to an end, thoughts of school starting back in a month creep in and I begin feeling the pull to look over curriculum, center materials, and ideas for plan books. I have that nesting urge to organize, clean, and create my plans for the next group of incoming students. I'll be teaching third grade this year so I will have many of my returning students. It will be nice to see them again and know that I'm a step ahead by knowing where they are academically as well as personally. This is almost like spring, a new beginning.
