1.) I made sure to acknowledge the interests and personal lives of some of our students- sharing what's important to them (Girls on the Run, soccer games, etc.) 2.) I tied in their interests to make points about what's important in school and out- ex. self control helps keep you focused and making smart choices.  Natural consequences follow when you lose control- getting kicked out of the game, getting suspended, etc.  3.) I managed my stress by taking time to stop and listen when teachers needed to talk- instead of multi-tasking, etc.  Recognizing that some things can wait. 4.) Not multitasking.  Trying to follow through and check in with some of our hardest to reach kids.  Happy meal reward to acknowledge a friend that's made great strides.  5.) I finished atomic learning lessons!  Woo hoo!

4. I help each student to the extent that they ask me to help.  Some students are more independent than others. 5.  I accomplished all goals that I set out to accomplish.  This helps me prepare for the next week.

1. While finishing up assessments, I reminded students how much work they had accomplished, praising their accomplishments and hard work. 2. We did a fun data collection activity which was very relevant to my students since it was information about themselves they were collecting. 3. Stress has been at a high this past week, but I have tried very hard to not let it be apparent to my students. When I did lose my cool, I was quick to bring us down and discuss why. 4. Engagement has been a struggle this week, trying to finish assessments and all of the outside activities happening made things more challenging. I did my best to read to my students this week, that always brings us together and engages them. 5. I did a lot of reflection on data this week which has helped me grow professionally. I had to really think about how my class has grown and what has resulted in that growth.

1) I praised my students who were doing the right thing. This week I took time to reflect with one-on-one about the progress they've made this year and encouraged them to return at above their current ability next year. 2) We played a new Place Value Bingo today. We tied it into their obsession with counting money and also reviewed >, number order, odd and even, etc. 3) I didn't manage it very well today. But I did apologize to my students for my lack of patience, reminded them that we all are allowed to make mistakes and have bad days; they reflected on their positive and negative moments from this week and we all discussed making the best days and memories we can next week, to carry us through the summer to next year!  4) I had one particularly challenging student today and struggled to be engaged in a positive way. We did reflect on the other places he could be and why he asked to join my class. We talked about the progress he has already made and he agreed that he makes less progress on days that he has challenging behavior. We agreed to leave today at the door and come back ready for 3 awesome days.  5) This week I felt I was trying to maintain my strength and focus. I worked with new students and teachers in ways that I believe were respectful and professional. I am trying to find common ground with more people and widen my circle of coworkers that feel free to lean on me, and whom I feel I can ask for help.

1. I try to greet my students with a smile and a good morning every day to help our day start off with a positive tone. I also tell them I am happy to see them.
2. We talk about how important the concepts are to moving and being successful in the next grade.
3.  There is a lot going on both in my school life with the end of the year and my personal life so my stress level is at a high. I think that I have managed ok because my class always knows when I need a hug. And I talk daily to those who help me see a bigger picture.
4. This week it has been harder to keep them engaged. So I have let some of the control go and let them do more explorations with centers to get some of the excitement from all of the events of the week out.
5. I have a lot of life changes coming up so I have spent a lot of time reflecting on myself and what makes me happy. I have also started a list of things I want to accomplish over the summer to help in my classroom next year.

My kids are excited about the end of the year and moving on to the next grade, which helps keep them focused and engaged. I've been managing my stress by talking to people not in education/not in this school. I think you can always improve and do more regarding differentiation, but I've been getting better. The biggest thing I've noticed and worked on this week in my own life is communication and fully realizing how important it is and its role in how everything else unfolds.

2. Creating math problems that have to do with actual events in our classroom.
3. This week, just trying to roll with the punches.  A few moments of frustration, relief given by team members
4. Engaging this last week has been hard- especially if it isn't something they want to be doing.  I'm trying to dangle some incentive carrots out there to keep them focused.
5. I hope that I was more a positive force than a negative one during this stressful week.  Some days I succeeded at this better than others.

1) I thanked each student for coming to school today and spending their time with me today. I told each of them something about them I will miss. 2) I asked why they would need to learn this (I believe if you cant answer that question- why are you teaching it?) 3) I feel my stress was managed okay. I did not eat enough so that made my morning a little rough! But I got through it!!! We took a few breathers as a class. 3) Today specifically I probably was not engaged to maximum potential. 5) This week/last week I have learned to separate myself from those I am not genuine with. I have learned how powerful body language can be and how important it is to be observant.

encourage my students to study, which I will be implementing next school year.
I'm already planning ahead for next year's lesson plans. This is a big step for
me, because I tend to procrastinate.
