Tis the Season

With the Thanksgiving break now behind us, we enter into the final weeks before the winter break. During this time of year, students may seem a bit antsy and anxious as they anticipate the holiday season.  That is why it is more important than ever to remain consistent with your routines and structures, and also provide meaningful learning experiences that both you and your students will enjoy and grow from.  As we begin to get busy and frantic during this time of year, it is important to remain cool and collected.  Take time to reflect, relax, and most importantly take care of yourself.  It is very hard to care for so many others when we, ourselves, are not at our best.  Enjoy the holiday season with your students, make many memories, and count your blessings!

Check and Reflect

It is hard to believe that we are already into the month of November!  Fall is finally trickling into the area, the holidays are approaching, and I bet your kids finally feel like YOUR kids.  At this point your routines and procedures are falling into place and you have established the structures that help your classroom run smoothly and with ease.  If things are still not feeling quite right, remember that it is important to establish clear expectations with consistency.  At the same time, if something is not working--be willing to change, adapt, or tweak for the maximum results.  Don't be afraid to revisit and reteach your expectations as often as needed.  Classroom management is the key to creating a learning environment that nurtures and facilitates learning and growth.
