This plant kinda sums up things for me. It's a honeysuckle plant -- you know, those cool little flowers that you can pick and suck the nectar out of. I inherited it from my mom 5 years ago. Yes, that's right, 5 years ago!! And it still sits in this pot. And has only had one bloom. I asked my sister why she thought it wasn't blooming. She said it needed to be planted in the ground. But yikes, if I do that.... honeysuckles tend to spread all over, and where would I put it, and what would I do if it started spreading. Yes, I'm just a bit afraid to actually plant this thing.
And here are a couple pics I want to do in my classroom.
Brag tags I made myself ---
And a take a break idea I bought from Teaching in Progress.
Ummm, maybe they will flop. Maybe I'll see some kinks that will need fixing. Maybe I'll end up just scraping the idea. But shouldn't I at least try something that I was so excited about in August?
Guess what? I have a place for the honeysuckle plant. Maybe I could just go ahead and plant it yet this fall and see what happens.
Hi Sara. I'm using Brag Tags this year. Really like them, but I keep coming up with ideas for more! Yikes!

I had so much fun making them -- why can't I just go ahead and use them??
DeleteSara, I do that all the time- I think of great ideas in the summer, and then when it comes to using them, I think, rethink, and overthink it. You'll have fun trying them and seeing what you want to add or change as you go! The kids love anything like that- so it will be fun no matter what! I can't tell you the things I've done one year- and that's it. :) But maybe they'll be a favorite! Can't wait to see how it goes! And I love the honeysuckle!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, you have such kind comments. You are so right - try them and see what happens! This next week is conferences -- after that, yes! I'm going for it.

I so get it. I've got summer ideas that I was so excited about and have yet to find a way to make them part of my day. :)
ReplyDeleteI think I need to just jump in, try it for 2-3 weeks, and see what happens. I can always tell the kids it just wasn't working.

I've pinned brag tags, haven't bought any or used them. Good luck, let us know how it goes. What a beautiful plant!
