My revelation!

I just have to realize you can't control someone's behavior, you can only control yours! That's not to stay i cant teach better behaviors, that's what I strive to do everyday! Believe me this is hard to do, but I just try to give as much praise to the good kids so hopefully the not so good ones will do something to get praise, and at the end of the day it will help me to feel positive because I will remember all the praise verses the negative.

Back To School

It's back to school time. I returned to work from a long relaxed summer last week and it has been a crazy, hot mess! But it is very exciting to start the new school year. Shawn has been absolutely amazing and all the trainings I went to this summer really gave me a fresh new outlook for this school year. I will have a great day everyday and I will remain calm and positive. I also feel so much better this year because I am actually going back to the same class, at the same school for the first time in my teaching career. Just knowing that I already know how to do things in my classroom and what works and what doesn't work is a great start to the year. It has been such a smoother transition for me and my class. I am glad to have most of the same students in my life skills class and to have seen how much they have grown and matured over the summer is amazing. I am ready for the school year and can't wait to see the wonderous things my students will do this year.
