      I totally believe that everything happens for a reason too! I can look back at some of my most difficult days and see the reason for those experiences.

      I've always believed that things happen for a reason. Sometimes I can see why and other times I can't. I love the puppy pic too. It's such a different perspective to think about!

I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
