You are doing so much for the students in your class to help them grow, develop and succeed. Some of tho...

2021-06-1409 minShaping Little Minds#18: Let's talk about FAILUREWe all have an ingrained mindset when it comes to failure. When I fail, all I want to do is walk away and give up. Because failure is bad, right? Failure is something we avoid at all costs. But what happens when we view failure as something that helps us grow? Something that teaches us to be better? As teachers, we experience failure all too often and there are so many times where we wish we could just walk away. But what if we failed and picked ourselves up to try again? What if that second try makes all...

A few questions to keep in mind as you listen to this episode:Do you transition your students into circle time? How smooth is that transition?Do you review rules every day on a consistent basis?Is your circle time developmentally appropriate for the age you are teaching?Are your students involved in circle time?

I have had some wonderful learning experiences because I took a risk; I invested in myself and in my learning.

I’m not sure if this will end up airing before the quarantine is over, but self-care is not something that a teacher does well. Teachers are the kinds of people that always put everyone else’s needs in front of their own. From my own personal experience.. If a person doesn’t have some kind of self-care routine, their body will tell them loud and clear that they need one. When I put my work and my students...
