How to have a great school year
Here’s a real short article on “The secret to making it a great school year”. The gist of it is, take time at the end of each day to reflect on what went WELL that day. Apparently our minds will focus more on what went wrong, rather than what goes well. Think of 3 things that went well and what YOUR role was in making it happen. Over time this should develop some emotional fortitude and energy.
Or at least that’s what the article is proposing.
