Show Notes

Getting mentally prepared for school is going school numb for a period of time, set boundaries on involvement with communication, then have a time of reflection to be thankful for the time that we are blessed with during our summer (sleeping in late, getting some sun, time with family, naps).

Be sure to keep small things small in the classroom...remove your emotional self from the situation and look for the cause of the action.
