The Happy Teacher Challenge
Here are this week's challenges:
Monday, 1/4: Organize an area in your classroom that has become a bit chaotic (a drawer, bookcase, your desk, etc.).
Tuesday, 1/5: Give a compliment to a student who often seems to need redirection. Say it somewhere where other students might overhear.
Wednesday, 1/6: Write a funny joke on the board for your students to read when they enter the classroom.
Thursday, 1/7: Make a conscious effort to smile more today, especially at those students or adults who aren't having a great day. Smiles tend to be contagious.
Friday, 1/8: Don't do any work during your lunch today and don't feel guilty about it. Take this time to enjoy your teammates.
