December Blues
How can I avoid getting the BLUES this time of year?
Be PROACTIVE and INTENTIONAL in your planning these next few weeks. Keep the academic rigor going right up until the holiday break. Create engaging, hands-on/minds-on lessons to keep everyone working hard to achieve their academic, behavioral, and social goals. When there is too much down time, there will be an increase in undesirable behaviors. This can add stress to everyone's day.
Remind students about healthy practices like hand-washing and using tissues. Take care of yourself too! Take time to enjoy your family and friends this holiday season. A perfect chance for this is on Tuesday, December 15th at The Comedy Zone!
