Monday Musings - March 25

Here's some March Madness numbers to dig into...

 (Don't worry, if you're not a basketball fan, I do have 
a purpose other than basketball for this!)

68 - The number of basketball teams entered into the NCAA Tournament
64 - The number of teams that remain after the first round of the NCAA Tournament
50 - The number of school days left counting today
32 - The number of teams that will remain after round two of the NCAA Tournament
32 - The number of school days left until the 3rd round of SRI/SMI testing to check student progress
22 - The number of school days until our final PD day (where we will have 1/2 day of iPad training!)
4 - The number of school days until our 4 day weekend
1 - The ranking I give to our staff!

Regardless of which number you feel is most important, the number of students you have in your room is the number of students who count on you daily to be at your best. The number of students you have in your rooms, is the number of reasons why you walk into Dodgeland Elementary each day. 

Find the inspiration you need from any one of the numbers listed above or find the motivation from the number of students in your room. Regardless of where it comes from, look forward to spring and keep doing the great work you do. 

If the winter blues still have you down, watch this video.
I hope it brings you the final push you need to be able to FINISH STRONG! (It may also be good for our 3-5th graders to see).
