Learning from Failures.... NOT a bad thing! A fun video to remind us and our students that it is not only ok, but beneficial to make mistakes.

This week's opportunity is a time for you to reflect. I would like you to offer TWO reflections in this post. Choose an area above and create a post that offers: 1) a personal reflection on your time as a student and 2) a way you allow for student reflection in one of the areas.

** NEXT WEEK is on Balance. Thank God because his energy is exhausting. I will not post during the break. We will resume on Wednesday 3/29.

Chapter 3 Creativity

This chapter made me tired. (Haha) The energy level to maintain creativity is tiring but I found it to be so true... Think about how well your students respond to those really creative and fun lessons/activities you plan. I think they know we have put in extra effort just for them. Another thing I liked was how the district introduces teachers each year. (This might be a great idea for JCS the year we combine.)

The question is this week... What is a creative classroom management technique you use to maintain order/engagement?
