On My Way to Death Valley

Teachers,

Here is your weekly dose of “5-Point Friday. 

On My Way to Death Valley —

I hope you have taken time to do something for yourself. You deserve it. I hope you had a wonderful week and are looking forward to finishing it strong through the weekend. I am heading to Death Valley where it will be 95˚ during the day. But the wild flowers should be great. Lowest point in North America. Salt formations all over the place. Sand Dunes used in Star Wars. Did I mention it will be 95˚? I can’t wait. Really, I love it. I hope you have had a great week.

We are heading into the last few months and the students can feel the change in the weather and the end of the year coming. As long as we can keep them focused and learning we will do well. This might mean to add in a little extra movement during the day. Find a Go Noodle movement video and let them move a little. Remember to review the rules in your class and if you feel you want to watch a few videos to remind the students of our school PBIS rules, GO for it. We have a video for Responsible, Respectful, Resourceful, and Safe.  Here is the link to watch them all.

My Fridge Food

Have you ever looked in your fridge and wondered, “What do i make with this?” On this website you enter what you have in your fridge and it gives you recipes to make. Interesting recipes. Lots of fun. 

Second Favorite Website This Week —

Do Nothing for 2 Minutes

This is just a reminder that we all need to take a couple minutes and just reflect, or just step away. Use this here and there to just take a moment. Let the waves wash over you and recharge. 

A Big Thank You —

Thank you for all you do. You deserve the breaks you get because of all the work you do at school. I hope you know how much we are thankful for you. If I don't say it enough, I should. You deserve it. You matter to these students. Thank you for all you do. Thank you.

I appreciate all of you and your hard work. Have a wonderful weekend.
