Here’s the deal. I’m not as organized as I should be. Even when I was in the classroom, there were times that I would be ‘flying by the seat of my pants’. It’s something I can do, but it’s not the most relaxing way to live. I try to plan out the week’s activities and goals, but life gets in the way of a steady schooling atmosphere. What I’m going to try to do with this website is post my goals and vague lesson plans so that there is some accountability for what we’re supposed to be doing.
As time goes on, I’ll also post some of the activities and projects we’ve done in the first half of the year (you know, when I have some spare time).
Note: I’m not affiliated with any of the websites listed below. I just use them for their knowledge.
