I don’t now how your first week back from break was but ours felt a little like this!
We were genuinely excited to return because (as you’ll see in the video below) when there’s a positive mentality towards school and learning, the actions that follow represent that mentality.
Our students actually looked forward to getting back together because they care about one another because they know and understand one another.
As a teacher the consistency in the positive behavior not only warms our hearts, but when you have to spend less time reteaching processes and positive behavior expectations, it allows us to jump into the actual learning more quickly.
Even with only 4 days, we were able to review content, introduce new content, continue with projects, conduct interviews, consider new goals and how they want to feel, and some even enrolled in their first online college class.
We also tried our hand at our first Indi-ED vlog. (see below)
Disclaimer: We just returned from our first hip hop dance class, which was an absolute riot and we look forward to sharing more of that in a separate post, so our clothing and hair were a bit disheveled because we got after it!
