I also can completely relate to your comment about remembering that we meet our students emotional needs and not just focus on academic needs. I always put relationships first with my students and focus on building my community of learners before I start focusing on academics. Lastly, I liked you comment, “Do what’s best for kids this year – and don’t forget to enjoy them, too!” It is so difficult to focus on enjoying the students because we get so wrapped up in meeting goals and completing everything that is required from our school districts. I live for the moments that I can just sit back and watch all of my students at work.
