Last fall when I was sharing with my hubby my sheer exhaustion, he said "Sweetie, you know that this happens every year." True. Haha! I've learned to treat have several "treat yo self" days those first few weekends. The hard work in the beginning is totally worth the joy of seeing the growth each student has made by the end of the year! <br />Thanks for a great post!<br />HannahTeaching Minds Reaching Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08447892802090048752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387839407791112974.post-15520004938594282962015-06-09T22:14:10.512-07:002015-06-09T22:14:10.512-07:00Hi Diana!

It was BRUTAL on the kids and I never reeled them back in on those days. Movement is SO important. I usually have my "challenging" kids do special jobs JUST to get them moving a bit more. <br /><br />Deirdre <br /><a href="http://mrsgarciassuperscholars.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Garcia's Super Scholars</a> Deirdre Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11961515348678907938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2387839407791112974.post-73369693865011032982015-06-07T20:54:47.171-07:002015-06-07T20:54:47.171-07:00Great tips, Diana!
