My attitude

I've decided that there is a direct correlation between my attitude at school and my students' performance. I know that is a blanket statement, but I can just tell. So, this week was my first week back at school after our winter break. My winter break was pretty amazing and although I didn't want to start waking up early, I was really glad to be back, working and productive.

So, I was pretty pumped to go to school. My spirits were high and I just felt good. In class, I was really happy, upbeat, and optimistic. It showed. Not that it normally doesn't, but I was EXTRA happy. I didn't have much in the plans, but just a few activities on my mind.

But this week went swimmingly. It was great. My kids were happy and so was I. And my kids have been doing so well academically this week. I am having great conversations with my students and they just seem to be working so hard.

Moral of the story: Be Happy!
