Beware the Ides of March!
This is the month that is so important. This is the month to really look at your pacing for the fast moving April that will come with field trips and breaks. This is the month that you have to decide what you will cover and what will land up as a review. This is the month to ensure that your routine is in place, effective and time is maximized. This is the month that those middle schoolers really begin to grow, hormones kick in and they become restless. This is the month that students have to buckle down, get everything made up, set some goals and have a plan in place.
We are always here to support you and for us, this is the time of year where we begin to build the schedule for next year. This is the time of year to look at EC services and properly assess our exceptional students. This is the month where discipline is typically on the rise.
Beware the ides of March...this time of year can be maddening on teachers and students. I have the utmost faith in all that it will be a great month and please know that we are here for you.
Now that that is out of the way...back to the walk next week!
Have a great week!
Around the Ridge!
PLC of the Months...Catching up with January and February!
