Journal

Taking time at the end of the day allows for reflection and growth as a teacher. Without the time to journal reflection is not as intense or deep for me. Each day at the end of the day I take time to reflect on the days events and record my thoughts in a journal.
 * Description**

When the last student has left the classroom and before I head home and put on my mom hat I take time to reflect. Sitting in a quiet classroom and reviewing the day I take notes in several different areas. I record something that went really well, something I would change for next year, and something I learned. Not only do I require myself to write down an event but I also expand on the event giving the why.
 * Analysis**

This journal serves as a feel good place I need to boost my mood when things get stressful. It also serves as a good place to look back to when planning lessons. It also is a great place to look back and take note of my growth.
