A is for Attitude!

I do feel like I'm preaching to the choir here! =)  If you're looking at blogs and seeking to better yourself, getting ideas from others, helping your students reach their best, I bet your attitude is top-notch.  Attitude is everything.  I know we have those years that are difficult, sometimes caused by just one student.  However, it's so important to focus on those precious sweeties that do everything they can to make good choices.  A teacher's attitude affects the whole classroom environment.  If we are joyful, they will be joyful, which makes us more joyful. =)  Attendance will not be a problem when kids love to come to school!  Behavior will be lessened when children are happy and feel respected.
Brain breaks help.  (Thank you, GoNoodle).  Reading your favorite picture books helps.  Listening to Disney on Pandora helps.  Laughing helps!  Mid-day coffee helps!  And hugs help too.
