- For some of our students who will say “it’s almost break” and lack motivation, it is time to push them & keep them excited and eager to learn.
- For our students who come from challenging circumstances at home and are feeling anxiety about not being at school for over two weeks (and acting out because of it), it is time to show them how much you care & make the most of these next 15 days.
- For our students that just keep smiling & working hard each day, it is time to pull them aside and tell them how much you appreciate them (Positive Postcard?)
Be proud of what we’ve accomplished with our students so far this year, but please keep your ‘eye on the ball’ and keep the focus on learning in your classrooms until Winter Break. In addition, I’d encourage you to:
- Take a second and tell a colleague that you’ve noticed how hard they are working and that you appreciate them working so hard.
- Make time to reflect on some of the positives that we’ve had this year that may have been overlooked as we have overcome the challenges of not having enough time.
- Set a tone for your students that regardless of how much time is left before a long break that all of us will work hard and make the most of our school days.
- Celebrate being a member of our Dodgeland Family
