Mental burn out- being so close to the end that you want to be done for the year

There are field trips & lots of days off, but there are also end of year tests like iReady and EOGs. Both students and teachers are tired & excited for summer break. The challenging part of Q4 is getting students to stay focused & motivated until the very end. ]]> 2023-04-03 18:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2542600970 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2542643110 I agree with Pinon, Q4 is the best but also the worst. There is a lot going on, lots of fun things and breaks, but there never seems any time to get anything done. It is hard to get students to refocus, and myself, after the dance concert and EOGS. ]]> 2023-04-03 18:53:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2542643110 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2542681855 The biggest one that I am seeing is trying to maintain student focus and put out all the little fires while still teaching curriculum. Problem behaviors from students are now escalating, regaining students attention and the mental burnout.]]> 2023-04-03 19:32:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2542681855 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2542710288 Similar to what others have said - maintaining student focus and correcting behavior issues.

You also have to keep them busy, you are going to want to take it easy a bit..but if they are busy they are better!]]> 2023-04-05 18:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2545359394 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2545375381 This is a way to make reviewing fun for the students - it is a great time....you just need come with an upbeat attitude!! It will be great!]]> 2023-04-05 19:13:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2545375381 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2545414280 Best way to get through the end of the year is to keep students busy and leave work at work! It will be okay to let some things go when you have big events going on in your personal life. Example end of year activities and treats don't have to be much. Your students will just love spending time with you.]]> 2023-04-05 20:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2545414280 https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2553194991 I have a notebook for my running to-do list. Each morning when I arrive to work I update the list (mark off/add) and sometimes when I leave I will add things for the next day. When I walk out the door at 4:00, I leave school behind and focus on my family. The list will be there when I get back in the morning! 

As far as student behavior in Q4, hold tight to your expectations. If you remain consistent in your policies/class structure it will help. ]]> 2023-04-13 13:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cshafer3/ii8ep7xq1kgh1jbt/wish/2553194991
