A  NEW  YEAR

2019

A NEW YEAR what a great time to reflect with your students all of the skills and great things you have done so far in the academic calendar.  Encourage discussions about this and make it a priority to "shine the light on them". How proud you are of their accomplishments and then discuss that now that the academic year is half over you are even suppose to strive harder to achieve the upcoming skills and events for the rest of the school year.  Tell them some of them, but then leave them in suspense and say, "I even have some special things planned for the rest of the year that I am going to keep a secret and surprise you once in awhile during the rest of the school year. You are such a lucky class and have so much to look forward to." Make a pledge to make the rest of the school year your "BEST".
