2013 Resolution Linky

I'm linking up with Amanda at Teaching Maddeness for

Teaching Maddeness
and Diane at Teaching With Moxie for



Here are my resolutions for 2013...
For School:
*to grade papers promptly (I have a very bad habit of letting ungraded papers pile up and it makes it even harder to get motivated to actually grade them! Please tell me I'm not the only one :)
*to create a daily plan for the weekly tasks I need to accomplish (that way I don't spend my weekend putting it all together for the following week)

Personal:
*to exercise and keep a food journal
*to drink more water
*to spend more quality time with my family
*to cook dinner more often than not (this will give me a chance to try some of those new recipes I keep ripping out of magazines haha!!)
*to use my Life Planner more :)

Blogging:
*to take more pictures of what's happening in my classroom (I always intend to take pictures, but I get so busy and forget about it!)
*to reach 500 followers :)
*to blog 4-5 times a week

What are your resolutions for the new year? I'd love to hear about them!

PS: I LOVE reading your comments and seeing new followers :)

  1. Your school resolutions are very similar to what I need to do! Grading is probably my biggest problem.. I grade the important things right away (tests & such), but homework and classwork.. ugh, it gets bad! So don't feel bad, you're definitely not alone there!

    Good luck with all of your resolutions! =)
