As we approach these last two weeks before break, patience and understanding are essential! Students are excited, tired from extra family events, or out of sorts from changes in routines. This may lead to spikes in behavior from all of our students. It's especially important (and helpful) to remember that student behavior is a form of communication, that they are trying to tell us something. Sometimes it's that they're exhausted, or it might be that they just need some attention.
This is a video we are using as part of our 4K Family Outreach, and I found it to be fascinating: Still Face Experiment (2:48). Although the child in the video is only a year old, I think the message is important to remember for all children - most of the time, all they want is our attention, response, and support!
Here's wishing you the patience and understanding that you will need for the next 10 days. Hang in there!
