In my 8/23 post, I discussed goals and thought that I would update what is happening with mine. Here they are:
1. Use kinder words
2. Choose a positive attitude all day, every day.
3. Greet people at school 90% of the time
4. Praise the positive at least 10 times in a day; ignore or quickly deal with the negative
5. Better manage my time to take care of my priorities
Well, the first three are going well. I find that the day flies when I choose to have a good attitude. The students are also better behaved and we get a lot more done. Praise is hard to do without it sounding cheesy (as my students would say). I am reading some Boy'sTown materials that I found in my closet and am trying to incorporate some of those ideas into the praise project. Marzano's ideas also seem to help. Time management is hard. I spend more time with my family and try to get everything done at school, but it is impossible to finish everything here. I have to take some of it home, which cuts into family time. That will be the one to really work on.
This week's goal is to blog more often and clean up my wikispace.
Anyone else wish to share their goals and how they are doing on them?

1. Try and not fall asleep during ASPUSH this year
2. I'm going to try and kick myself into gear and do homework, and do it well. I didn't do it fully last year...but since this is prep year, I really feel as if I should do things to the best of my ability
3. Get all A's. End of story.
4. Don't get hurt in science class this year =D I've already done it freshmen and sophomore year...haha...let's see what happens this year!
5. Try and make it through junior year without crashing and burning. I think I should take a breather every once in a while and do something fun instead of hanging around the casa w/ nothing to do.
Well, I haven't fallen asleep in APUSH yet (almost, not quite); Numero dos...uhhhh....I'll get back to ya on that one!; Three has practically gone out the window (thanks again APUSH and PF); 4...YAYA! I have NOT gotten hurt yet...woop woop! hahah!; and five : We'll see in due time.
My new goals? That's a darn good question! Perhaps make time everynight for myself...no homework, no interruptions, no nothing. Like watching a movie a night. That'll make my stress a bit less...stressful ;) haha
Numero uno- write every day! Heh, that one really isn't hard for me, I've been doing that for at least two years now. ^.^
Number two- not go insane in English, even if vocab sneaks up and bites me periodically. Thank goodness for homeroom.
Number three-Hmmm...I wanna keep my 3.6 GPA throughout the year again. I managed last year, so I'll try for it again this year. ^.^
So Jamie, How are the goals going??
