Out of the Office

Day 4

Yay!  It is finally Friday.  It was a short work week, but there was quite a bit of work we had to do.  I guess you can say that is the life of a teacher.

So how did I manifest my 2019 word of the year (RADICAL) today?
​I focused on helping my students decide how they want to make a difference in their community and/or world.  I asked them to think about their strengths and weaknesses.  I then had them think on choosing a word of the year which takes them out of their comfort zone.  They had to find ways to apply that word to their life (their learning, friendships, home, and health).  I had the students research different words online and once they chose the word, find a powerful quote with the word.

My goal is for next week to help each student create their own blog and start by explaining their word of the year as their first blog post.  This school year my students will learn about creating a business and selling physical products.  

Tomorrow and Sunday, I will try to focus on radical self-care.  Make sure to come back to read about ways to focus on taking care of yourself.

How do you take care of yourself?
