Taking up the #Teacher5aday Calendar challenge see below for my “3 things you are most looking forward to over the festive period”
One of the things I am looking forward to doing over the Christmas break is reading. I currently have just started reading Behave by Robert Sapolsky however haven’t made much progress in the last week or so. I note that it is quite a substantial book running at 675 pages excluding the appendices. I also have a book on Data Science which has been sat on my bedside table for a while now.
I am also looking forward to doing my annual reflection and pledge. Actually setting time aside to look back on 2018 and the successes and challenges is very useful. In the day to day it is often difficult to see what has been accomplished so to put time aside to actually sit down an reflect is very useful It is also useful to consider those things which haven’t been done and those things I want to tackle in the year ahead, and to put some initial prioritization into these, identifying what is really important and what is less so.
And my final item is family time. My wife will be largely busy during Christmas so I will be stealing whatever time she has free, and outside this plan to spend some time with my son working on our new PC and also having a kick around on the football park. We are hopefully going to explore podcasting and video/audio editing which is something we both have an interest in.
