School has been out about a week. I always have extra stuff to do and so always leave a few days later. Summer seems to fly by. I always feel there is not enough time or money to do all the things I want to do. Yes, yes I know - most people experience the same thing.
I have three training dates this summer. As I look at what I have already committed to for next year I am reminded that I want to do things differently. The last few years I have made a Teacher's Binder. It has helped.
The secret - you need to know where it is and actually use it. I think I need to simplify my binders. My thinking is way to big and then it becomes unmanageable. So I decided to revisit sites that have been helpful in the past. I have hopes that I will be inspired to create the perfect system.
