CCP: Episode 49 // Pressing the "Restart" Button On the School Year
Do you ever wish you could start this whole school year over? Yes, please!
Remember that "fresh year, fresh classroom" feeling that you had at the beginning of the school year? Your classroom was so organized, wasn't it? Everything was crisp and new. You had BIIIIG plans for curriculum and classroom management, right?
If you're like me, you often get to January and just wish you could restart and reinstate all those great plans, ideas, and most DEFINITELY that crisp, clean classroom that welcomed your students in the fall.
Well - why can't you? Why CAN'T you just "restart?" What's stopping you?
If you're feeling less than satisfied about how your year is going, then, by all means - PRESS THE RESTART BUTTON! It’s the PERFECT time to do so.
