My favorite form of procrastination is goal setting 😂

I know, priorities are a little weird on that one, but hear me out: when you are putting off doing something it's usually because you aren't passionate about it (looking at you, stack of papers to be graded). So, to overcome this, I set goals.

I set meaningful and powerful goals. Then, to go along with it I like to choose a focus for the year based on those goals.

After setting my intentions and goals for 2020 I came up with the idea to focus on simple aligned actions.

Don't get distracted by all the things and don't strive for the extra credit that nobody was offering.

Keeping simple aligned actions to get that boat going down the river to goal-town!

Do you set a focus/intention for the year? If love to hear your "word" or goals!! #teacherlife #wordoftheyear #goalgetters #teacherpreneur #thucrew #focusedonmygoals #newyearnewgoals #teachermotivation #teachergram #iteach #iteachtoo #teacher

Modeling behavior 👩🏼‍🔬 Offering my students extra credit for review themed tik toks is probably the best thing ever.
They're trying to relate science to all these popular "sounds" on the app and are getting really great ideas!

Just another friendly reminder that meeting students in the middle (aka something they already enjoy) ends up in the best results!!

The one thing we could all teach our students is how to study!! Going into finals it's become so clear that they need a little help to keep everything organized, so here's a few quick tips I like to share! *Color code everything! I have them color code notes based on unit and even their notecard (if they get one for the final) so the color helps to recall the specific material. *Chew gum and eat candy! Scent is so strongly tied to memory that studying while eating a candy cane means that you can remember those things easier the next time you eat a candy cane! *Play games and songs! Songs are easier to recall details from and most students will retain information better if they are playing in a competitive environment (even just Quizlet live!) *Bonus, if you can have them color code and then create a game with the same colors! I'm having my students do review Jenga based on the subject they need most help remembering and the pieces will be in the colors we used for that unit!

Any other tips for studying I can share with my nervous freshmen?! #teachertips #teacherhacks #studytips #finalsarecoming #teacher #teachergram #teacherlife #thucrew #iteachscience #scienceteacher #iteachhighschool #highschoolteachers

This is my Saturday ritual. It's guilt-free "me" time.

My kids watch some Mickey Mouse, my husband and I take turns eating breakfast, and I read my book with a cup of luke-warm coffee (let's be honest, I'll never drink hot coffee 😂) It's a little thing to look forward to, but it helps keep me grounded 💖

Do you have a little self-care ritual? Something, even tiny, that just helps you relax?
