This year I returned to full time work after many years of working part time.
But … I found I needed something to help me stop by brain and to give me a little bit of “me” time back.
Like many people, an ad on Facebook made me aware of a new craft that was becoming more well known, Diamond Painting.
This craft is very simple. But for me it was exactly what I needed and has led to me, and therefore my household, being a lot less tense and stressed.
This led to a little more online shopping, which resulted in diamond paintings not just for me but also for my 2 daughters.
I hope you do something that brings you joy
I am also constantly on the look out for different ways to engage the children I teach in reading. It gets harder each year as technology grows to be a larger part of their world.
We are constantly looking for new ideas and inspiration so if you have any ideas I would love it if you left comments or links to your blog to show me how you keep your students inspired to read.
I have spent days searching the web for ideas that will lead to higher engagement in reading and I suspect that I will continue to for many more days to come!
This reading challenge is being run by Ginger mom and kindle quest.
It would be great if you joined me in my challenge to read a book beginning with each letter of the alphabet from January 1st to December 31st 2019.
I’ll definitely let you know of the other crafty things I have been up to since I was here last. I have e new personal favourite craft that I am doing in my spare time and I will dedicate my next post to be all about it!
Chat to you then.
