Goals (July Summery + August Goals)

Welp...July has come and GONE. It's so sad when my favorite month of the year is over.  I saw a funny quote that August is the Sunday of Summer. So true. August...I don't know how I feel about you. I guess that means I am going to have to make this month AWESOME. 

Teaching Goals:

1. Finish Presentation for Google Summit Conference

This was pretty cool! We rocked our three presentations and I left pretty inspired. I also have some new ideas for what the future in Education could be.

2. Clean out cabinets:

They are looking good! No thanks to me though...I called in reinforcements AKA parent helpers for this one!

3. Pull materials for book clubs

I didn't set foot in my classroom the rest of July, so this is being pushed to this week.

4. Write Math Units for Multiplication/Division and Geometry 

On the list for this week!

5. Plan and Refresh PBL Units for Beginning of School Year

See above :)

 Personal Goals:

1. Wipe down all baseboards

Nope...

2. Clean/Wipe Down Blinds

YES! Didn't pull them out slat by slat in the living room, but they did get cleaned!

3. Clean out guest bedroom closet

Instead, Kyle and I cleaned out our master bedroom closet and have three trash bags full of clothes to donate!

4.Eat lunch with Courtney and Chase!

I did get to visit with them a few times!

5. Meal Plan for the two weeks we are home.

Continuing to August!

6. Find a new mascara and use Sephora Gift Cards

Thanks to my summer beach magazines, I am going to try a new Maybelline (sp?) mascara.

7. Start Christmas Shopping

           Thanks to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I was able to grab a few gifts!

Teaching Goals:

1. Survive The Back to School Craziness

Do I have things I need to get done? Of course! This time of year is so crazy that I don't want to set unrealistic expectations on myself and get stressed out. I think I'll stick with my July list and see what I can tackle.

Personal Goals:

1. Meal Plan

Coming off a two week vacation we NEED to get back into a routine! Meal Planning is a MUST! This week we are having stir fry, Chicken on the grill, and pasta! 

2. Clean out guest bedroom closet

This is just going to drive me crazy until we get it done. There is so much junk in that thing it might topple out at a moments notice!

3. Work out 5 Nights a Week

School gets pretty time consuming and I let certain things go to the back burner for a while. Working Out is my stress reliever and it just has to be a part of my day. 

As you can see, I'm not as crazy with my goals this month. August tends to be crazy on its own. We'll see how it goes and maybe I can accomplish some tasks I didn't add here.
