things for next year: an occasional series

I keep thinking of things I really want to write about, but forgetting to write about them by the time I get home (and I don't really want to blog at school, although I can get to the website. It just seems poor form.) So I'll add to the list at the top of the blog, and for now I'll just start a note-to-self category, which I've been meaning to make anyway.

-Index Card word walls. I actually heard this idea originally from the writing teacher last year. I had various issues with her, though, so wasn't really ready to listen to much she had to say. But I like the idea of having index card boxes where the kids can write down their own vocabulary words and have them in a box. Saves me wall space, gives them writing practice, and alphabetization too.

-Book organization. Oh dear G/god(s) I need to get my bookshelf organized. I will probably spend all summer on this.
