It's a new year!
It's a chance for a whole new outlook!
It's the time of year when people make new goals and resolutions—it's time for a fresh start!
Many schools have been out for close to a couple of weeks.
We all know that the children have been "checked out" for a lot longer than that.
That means it's a good time to review and introduce new procedures. You may have noticed that their behavior at centers has been a bit "iffy." You may have noticed they're no longer lining up quietly. You may have noticed their use of computers and devices is no longer careful. This is a good time to review all these procedures. Here are some ideas on re-introducing procedures.
I make this promise at the beginning of every school year. It's also not a bad one to introduce at the beginning of the new year!
Resolutions! Are they worth it, or just a set-up for future failure? That's a philosophical question I have no intention of answering, but a resolution to be happy is a good one. It's do-able, and can be shared with your students! (Plus, these are research-based ways to be happy, AND, there's a freebie attached!)
Here are a couple of things they might be ready for now that they couldn't handle earlier in the year:
Here are a few more resources your students might enjoy for the month of January:
