You may be thinking that I've put this video in a time capsule but I remember it so well from my childhood. My dad was a huge country music fan so it was about the only thing that we would listen to on the radio. I hope you take the 2 minutes and 20 seconds to listen to it. It may make you happy and want to tap your feet.
I want to remind you to feel welcomed, encouraged and ready to go!
And we are ready to go. This is our time to embrace the adversity and shine.

ReplyDeleteI am prepared to engage students in applying prior learning to new learning in order to help students have ownership in understanding and applying new learning.
The invitation I will extend this week involves students recalling,rehearsing,and demonstrating their understanding to build their self-confidence.
I am prepared to be flexible and just go with the flow, don't panic and just keep swimming:)
ReplyDeleteI will maximize success by keeping a positive attitude and my coffee mug full!
