Literacy Lowdown

December 2018
This month's focus: It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year! Self-Care and Engagement For You and Your Students
It's December...
This is a busy month, where we are being pulled in several directions both professionally and personally. Remember that your students are also dealing with schedule changes and family events.
How do you get through the month and ensure that you continue with as much consistency and learning for your students?
How do you take care of your self in the process?
It is important to remember to be both culturally and socio-economically sensitive during this time. As you have always done, celebrate the diversity in your classroom and allow your students to share their family traditions. However, as I've stated before, we do not know all that our students are experiencing outside of the school day, and for some Christmas may not be a positive experience or memory for them or their family.
Below are some resources for you and your students. Enjoy!
