Being Popular
I am an avid reader, both in and out of school. While my schedule allows more time for books in the summer and vacations, I also balance this with reading articles - lots and lots of articles - every day. I am especially interested in reading articles about teaching and learning, but I also enjoy when I come across a relevant middle school article that's worth sharing.
Here's an article you may want to read, entitled, Being Popular: Why It Consumes Teens and Continues to Affect Adults http://bit.ly/2gATu5m.
Middle school isn't easy, and is often complicated. But the nice thing to remember is, there are lots of adolescents (and their parents) out there successfully navigating it. Sometimes it begins with making sure we understand why it complex.
What are you reading that is challenging you to learn and to think, well after you've read it?
I'd love to know; please share it with me.
Thanks for all you do to make the school-home connection a success!
Sincerely,
Dennis Schug
