I forgot that yesterday was Wednesday. I really wanted to post weekly tips but the day got away from me. I have a great suggestion from a friend. She wakes up thirty minutes before her family and drinks her morning coffee in silence. She uses this time to reflect and to plan her day. I tried this but my little ones must have thought that I needed company because they both woke up way too early each morning last week. I am more of a night owl so I have been spending thirty minutes at the end of each day to organize and plan the next one.
Since I was a day late, I'll give a bonus tip. I print out the spelling words and vocabulary definitions for the year and keep them in my suburban. The "Imagine It" website is www.imagineitreading.com. After creating a free account, you can access this information under the "At Home" tab. We are often waiting in the suburban at dancing, Annelise's bus stop, or even red lights. I can quickly review this information. I also have Annelise's Vocabulary Workshop words and Luke's pre-decodables. I am a multitask-er but still short on time most evenings. Getting in a few minutes of study time when we would normally be idle has really helped out.
