Happy Thoughtful Thursday 😊 Did you know that expressing gratitude boosts your mood and promotes positive self-esteem? Take a moment today and express gratitude with your students. Ask, “What is 1 thing you are grateful for today?”

Stay on top of your students’ academics! I hold myself accountable by asking students to bring chromebooks or notebooks to sessions. They quickly share 1 assignment they’re proud of and 1 they can improve. Then, we transition to our lesson/activity for the day. In the next session, I ask them to give progress updates, which helps develop a growth mindset.
