Lisa Sullivan always tells me “You have to slow down to go fast”. I think that as we move into the month of May, these words are very need to play over and over again in our heads. It’s easy for us to assume that because we have been in school for 150ish days that our kids will behave appropriately, follow routines and procedures and act above the line without reminder. But, I’m sure you all notice that often times, the month of May brings discipline issues and a lot of stress and frustration for teachers. So, I am asking you to “slow down”! Slow down and review routines and procedures. Try hard to keep your schedule as consistent as possible. Take time to praise and positively reinforce the students who are doing what they are supposed to do! As my friend Sharon Esswein says, “Celebrate what you want to see more of!” We can do this! We CAN make it to the finish line. But, in order to get there in one piece we will need to “slow down to go fast”!
Here is the staff update for April 27th!
