Take 10 minutes to listen to this video clip of a teacher talking about how teachers need to expect more from themselves and those around them. She talks about letting go of things that are not in your control, building relationships, being strategic, and being persistent. Think about each of the students in your class this year. Have you done these four things with each student? If you haven't done this with all of your students, good news...you still have 8 weeks to do this. I enjoyed having more time to read and listen to books during vacation week. Our 4th graders are getting ready to participate in some book clubs. I have read all of the books that they will get to choose from except one, Save Me A Seat. I enjoyed reading that one this past week. A great story about not making assumptions and dealing with a 5th grade bully. I have been listening to a book recommended to me by Jen Mannion, The Dictionary of Lost Words. And I got a great new professional development book that I started to explore called The PD Book. What did you read over the break?
