Self Care
Do you take enough time for YOU? Over break make sure you take some time for yourself. Do some mindful activities and practice some breathing strategies. Find some ways to incorporate some time for yourself during the school day after break. When you see me, ask me about "starfish breathing" to be entered into the next raffle! We give students brain breaks so why not give yourself one! We will also have a Mindfulness TBT in January!

Designing Your Schoology Courses
When you click on your Schoology course what do you see? Folders depicting each unit, week, and instructional groups or a huge list of activities for students to navigate through? There are multiple ways to design the materials in your course to make it easier for you and your students to navigate through. It may be time for an Extreme Makeover for your Schoology courses for the new year. Did you know...
- You can dump all quarter 1 materials into on folder.
- You can create a Media Albums for images you are using like anchor charts.
- You can add images to a folder to represent a unit, theme, or even reading/math group.
- You can add me as an admin to your course to assist in organization.
- You can individually assign folders for certain students or groups so that the whole class does not see it.
- Don't forget that the unpublish feature is powerful!
*Are you providing equitable opportunities for students to access resources and complete activities?*
