So here we are…2019. The new year is often a time of reflection and contemplation. A time to identify areas for growth. And like so many people, I am often less successful than I hope to be with meeting the goals I set for myself.
So this time in trying something different.
My goal is to make as many choices as I can that have a positive impact. That’s it. That’s the goal. These could positively impact my family, my friends, the people I work with or teach, total strangers, or myself. But the goal is to spread as much positivity as I can.
So where to begin?
Well here are a few places I hope to start:
- My blog- I plan to blog at least once a week. This is a space for me to share what I’m trying that works. And maybe even what doesn’t. I’ve grown so much as a result of the things that didn’t go as planned and that’s a good thing.
- Twitter: I’m going to start engaging more so that I can learn from others.
- Try a Genius Hour project of my own: every year, my students work on a project that they are excited about. I think it’s time I joined them rather than watching from the sidelines. Not certain what it will be yet ( I’ve always been a bigger dreamer than doer).
- Read more: I’m reading at least 40 books this school year. But I want to push this goal. So I’m going to aim for 50.
- My little Gratitude project: each day is represented by a little piece of paper. I plan to write down each day at least one good thing that has happened. And hopefully next January 1st, I’ll have a jar full of memories.
(Yes, I prepped all the little pieces of paper already)
And I plan to use my blog to update my progress on these goals. And keep adding to my list.
Ancora imparo,
Kirsten
