Time Management

                                                  

Everyone in this world has so much to do. It never seems like we have enough hours in the day to do all the things that we need to get done. Juggling school, work, family, and my puppies:) is a tough job and hard to keep up with. My thoughts are that this would be a very easy thing to solve with a calender and some organization skills but that's not me. I cannot sit down, write everything down, and continue this calender of events throughout my life. I end up having several calenders, and several papers to go with those calenders. I also end up forgetting to write things down and then go without it for a while. After a few rounds of this, I give up. I have found that an electronic calender does give me a little more support because I seem to have my computer with me all the time. Another thing that I have recently started using is checklists. I write down what I need to do and prioritize them along with the date that they need to be completed. Once I am finished with a task, I highlight it so I know I got it done. This is my plan of attack for this semester, not only for me, but I would like to implement it in my classroom for my students also. This is a visual representation of tasks that we need to get done in a short amount of time, a day, a week, a month, or a semester. This is a great starting point.
  

                                     

Hello!

Welcome to my blog. This is a completely new experience for me and I hope to learn a lot from this and come up with some interesting things to say. Let me start by telling you a little about myself. I am, of course, enrolled in the Masters program at Western State Colorado University. I am currently employed in Delta County School District as a Significant Support Needs teacher. I have a small case load but some of the toughest students in the district. I love my job and I love working with all of my students along with working with my aides who are amazing at what they do!

I am recently married and I have a step-son that I help raise. I have three puppies, a Yorkie (Mylo), a Chihuahua (Taundey), and a Pit mix (Layla), who take up a lot of my time as well. 

Those are a few things about me!!! I hope you enjoy my blog:)
