Taco Tidbits - Back to School Season
Taco Tidbits |
Setting School and Home BoundariesMy students start Monday. I always have mixed emotions about going back. I am really good at summer with a more relaxed structure and routines. I do enjoy getting to know new students and teaching life skills students can implement at home that evening! It's only taken half of my career to learn I am becoming more firm in setting boundaries for my own sanity. This will be my third year not to have school email on my phone. I give it my all when I am at school and I use that as a reminder to give it my all at home. I let my students know this as well. Last year I made it a point to let students know I would not be grading late assignments at home. It's a strong lesson with natural consequences for 7th and 8th graders when I give them enough time in the classroom to complete work. I will grade the late assignment, but when I have a chance once or twice a week during my plan time. I encourage you to give it a go for one or both of these boundary-setting ideas. Maybe you have your own boundaries you set? I'd love to know! Talk soon, Andrea |

Hey there, Reader, This week on the blog, you can read about the kitchen renovation that happened last summer. It was a "Fixer to Fabulous" reveal, but not without some "Love It or List It" moments wondering if it could actually look better AND be finished before students would arrive in August. It's crazy how much can happen in a year, which is why I thought this was the perfect time to write about it. It's almost time for the April ballot. It was the April ballot last year that included a...
