I chose the word REACH and it truly is amazing how this is helping me focus and it's jumping out at me all the time now...reach out to friends/family, reach each of my students on an individual level, reach my personal running goal. LOVE IT! :) My students are really into this already today too and the video was great for sparking ideas for many of them. I can't wait to get this up on a display in the hall. :) Thank you!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11716276323274938864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678514486069553970.post-21088095886646722672014-01-01T17:41:36.607-06:002014-01-01T17:41:36.607-06:00What a fabulous idea!

I LOVE this idea! I had already planned on having them write about some things they want to tackle this year, and now I want to throw this in for good measure. Maybe we will take Wednesday to do this before I start our "blogging" lessons on Thursday!<br /><br />Thanks for the wonderful idea!<br /><br />Shannon<br />http://www.irunreadteach.wordpress.com<br />Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13149662695273911122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678514486069553970.post-28795165673259359182013-12-31T08:18:50.405-06:002013-12-31T08:18:50.405-06:00Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
