Today let’s detail clean and decorate our entry way. This is the first area people see when they enter your home. Make it warm and inviting. Get rid of unnecessary clutter. If you put out a Christmas wreath on your front door, do that today, too. Play some Christmas music while you are working today. It will make your tasks fun.
How are you doing with your school planning now that we are getting close to the end of the first half of the school year? Do you need to buy additional books? Some children move along faster with certain subjects, so check to see how they are progressing. Have you kept up with your attendance paperwork and lesson plans? Don’t fizzle out now. Have a strong finish to the first half of your year.
