November 5, 2021


 Thank you for sharing Garrett. Great video on ADHD.  I feel like it gives some great insight to what many of our students with ADHD (or have similar symptoms) are experiencing and also gives some great tips on working with these students. 

(I got this from Kristen Cherry's newsletter- thank you Kristen) Stressed and burnout seem to be a common word we hear, especially in November!  Are you feeling irritable?  Not wanting to attend social gatherings, even the easy ones that involve food?  Increase in complaints? Fatigue or insomnia?  You aren't alone.  I think we are all feeling these warning signs in one way or another.

So, how do we reverse this and charge ahead, focusing on the positive/great/wonderful things that are happening in our lives- both at home and at SV?  It's time to TAKE ACTION!!  Take these easy ideas, (even something as easy as loading the "momentum" app to your computer) including remembering to smile, shift your focus to your home, laugh uncontrollably, try teaching something new, take up yoga, go for a walk during your prep, and share with your colleagues.  I know, I know, easier said than done sometimes, but very much needed so you have work/life balance.
