Welcome to a WELL DESERVED Friday! What an interesting week! Any time there is a snow day, I always feel like our kids get a little off for the week. We are all creatures of habit, and when our habits are changed due to unexpected weather stuff, it can set those "crazy wheels" into motion! For the next two weeks, I have one recommendation for the team... OVER-PLAN . What do I mean? Lesson plan for engagement and solid work time - I know we are all excited for the holiday break (me included), but the work needs to continue, business as usual! Continue to plan those engaging and relevant arts tasks that get our kids thinking, doing, making, performing... Continue to set the behavioral and learning expectations clearly - never ASSUME the kids know what you expect in the next two weeks.. Our kids THRIVE on your high expectations , so continue to be that Artsy Beacon in their life! Plan for BELL TO BELL work - D
