March 23, 2018


As we head into Spring Break, please take time to reflect, relax and rejuvinate as we are about to head into the busiest time of year with testing, activities, 8th grade promotion stress, events, and more.  I know it may seem silly, but watch the video and follow along to calm and center yourself.  It truly does make a difference....=)

As said above, we are not the only ones that can get burn out.  How do we continue to motivate our students so that they don't lose focus?!?!  That definitely can be easier said than done!  Take a look at THIS ARTICLE for simple ideas to change your focus of your lesson so that EVERYONE in the room is still motivated!!
