This can be a hard one as there are so many tasks to complete at the beginning of the year, but taking the time to reach out to families before there are issues will go along way to building a working relationship with parents. Whether I'm teaching a full year or a semester class, I make a point to reach out to parents by the end of the first week!

Posting your agenda can help ease anxiety for your students. Posting it in the same location each day makes it easier for students to find and is something they can access as soon as they enter your room.

Never stop learning! Over the past few years, we've had to learn a lot, but when was the last thing you learned and implemented in your class because you wanted to? Trying a new strategy because you want to, can reignite the joy of teaching.

If you've implemented a new strategy you love, share it with us in the comments.

This one is hard🤷‍♀️.

I hate creating seating charts it rarely makes things better, but a really good inservice is hard to come by.

If I had to choose, I think I'd pick make a new seating chart.

Wait time is so important!

It can be tough at first because we want to fill the silence with something, but if you wait, it will give your students time to process the material and question before answering.

If you are quick to fill the silence, or call on the one student that is always willing to answer, your students will learn they don't have to engage.

If you are struggling with wait time, I would encourage you to count slowly to 10 before continuing. Calmly restate the question and encourage students to think, then call on a student.

It is not always easy and will take some practice, but it is so worth it!

The trick to having happy students is to first be happy yourself. - unknown
When things in the classroom get tough - as they have been for the last few years - remember to find the joy in the day. Let go of what you can and find the little things that make you happy.
