April 4th-8th

The finish line is near! 

Did you know there are only 10 weeks left of school? Let's pace ourselves- it can get busy and crazy and there is lots to do as we head to the finish line (while simultaneously gearing up for new teaching partners and a new school!) For the remainder of the year, I'm going to try to devote as much time as possible so that you have time to think and plan and get organized both curriculum and supply-wise - so we can finish this year and start next year STRONG! Welcome back!

To go along with the theme of finishing strong... here's a post by a principal from the East Coast -- One More Round !


Have a happy week!

And the 1,2,3,4,5 challenge continues! The posts are below:

All you have to do is answer 5 questions. Seven of our teachers have already accepted the challenge! I'd love to hear your take! Here are the questions:

One: What has been your one biggest struggle this year?
Two: Share two accomplishments you are proud of from this year.
Three: What are three things you wish to accomplish before the end of the school year?
Four: Give four reasons why you remain in education in today’s rough culture.
Five: Which five people do you hope will the take the challenge of answering these questions?
