The List!


today I am working on my to do list and every time I finish a job I check it off. But then, I always think of some other things to do and I go on to do that and it wasn't even on the list.
For example, I orignally got on the computer to send a note to JJ about the Dell computer. It morphed into reading email and then going to favorites.
I was writing signs for Vacation Bible School and that morphed into writing letters to two church friends who were sick.
I did get a few things accomplished, laundry, a walk, and library visit (yesterday) though and now it is time to go to the grocery and to the post office. Hmm only the library was on the list!!!
So what good is a list?
To keep you on track and help you feel like you didn't waste the day I guess. I have crocheting on the list, but I really can't get back into it. Time to go do some more things on the list or find some other things not on the list that need to get done!

A writer writes. A reader reads. A walker walks. What is new? Not much. It is good to sit and think.
I have been reflecting on how to improve my next year teaching. What shall I do differently? Well, already I have a different schedule. I am not sure what will be really different. But I am going to spend more time at first teaching routines. Third graders are great.
