Teach Create Motivate Podcast: Motivational Tips & Tricks for Teachers

Morning Meetings

The countdown is on. If you’re a teacher, you know exactly what countdown I’m talking about. THE END OF THE YEAR. How are you celebrating in your classroom? I think it’s super important to make sure that we celebrate all the hard work that we’ve accomplished throughout the year. I don't think all learning should stop when we start "the countdown," but it's a great way to celebrate your year together and to have fun while doing it. In this episode, I’m filling you in on what I do in my own classroom to celebrate the end of the school year. I talk about how I keep my students engaged, writing and how I keep their behavior in check. I also give you resources and ideas for how to celebrate each student in your class individual and make them feel special.
