Going strong, day by day! My high school students WORK HARD to acquire Spanish communication skills (if enrolled in Spanish), meditation skills (if enrolled in Stress and Emotional Health), and get a little physical activity (if enrolled in Fitness for Life or Women's Weights). I love teaching a variety of classes and my students benefit when we incorporate activities across the curriculum- we do fitness in Spanish or meditation in Fitness, etc. and they LOVE it!
My students are dedicated and vibrant young people!
They are building the foundation for a successful future and are seeking as many language skills and stress management skills as they can before they embark upon the next chapter of their lives. Fitness keeps them physically active with many intellectual, mental, and emotional perks. They are absolutely STRONG and MAGNÍFICO!
My Project
After making it through this crazy past school year, it is time for a reset! My freshman students are an amazing group of kids who are at a prime point in their development to hone their habits. James Clear's book, Atomic Habits, will be used as a book study for this next trimester to help my students carve their own path to adulthood, and fourteen years old is a perfect time to build a foundation.
LIFE is so good when we choose to see the good!
The Atomic Habits book will be used weekly to provide interesting information to help with focus and motivation for self-betterment. Along with the reading, I will give each of my students a personal journal for reflection- a useful tool for measuring improvement. We will learn about and make SMART goals to encourage good habits for adulting in their next phase of life. As a class set, these books will be used for many years to come!
