It’s crazy to think the end of the 2013-2014 school year is right around the corner! With that comes many invitations to focus on management issues and end of the year activities than to focus on quality teaching and learning. Please remember to finish strong! These last 10 days can be full of learning opportunities and quality experiences for our Kennedy Kubbies. Rick Wormeli says it best,
“Don’t waste the last few weeks of school on fluff and babysitting experiences. It’s not only boring to students, it’s unethical. Choose a day very soon to begin planning for one of the highlights of the year: the experiences of those last few weeks”.
Let’s make a commitment to finish the year as strong as we started & not hit the cruise control button. Our Kubbies deserve better. Students will feed off our attitude & if we expect the best from them, then we must give them the best of us! 🙂
