Finish Strong

We are at the end of  the last full week of school. We are in the homestretch and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

All we need to do now is finish strong. I found a great article on how to finish the year strong. It is a short but good read. 5 Tips for Finishing the School Year Strong

Four of the five tips are classroom and student focused.

5. Understand the needs of your students. -Remind them why routines are helpful. And make sure to address and understand mental and physical exhaustion.

4. Celebrate student growth. -Showcase their work. List their wins. Utilize year-end mapping.

3. Create a plan of continued growth. -Summer reading lists. Summer review and growth plans.

2. Cover the most important subjects. -Consider the most important information to prepare for next fall.

And as you take time to help students prepare for the close of the school year and help them finish strong, don't forget about you.

1. Prioritize health and wellness! - Recognize when you need your quiet/alone time. Find restful activities to recharge. And I'll add: Practice Mindfulness.

Taking time to take care of you will help you finish the year strong.
