Resilience! We hear about it ALL the time, but what does it look like in the classroom?

To me resilience means different things on different days. Sometimes it means patience when the kids ask the same question over and over, some days it means not jumping out of my skin when a kid tells me he needs another copy of something. Sometimes it means not swearing out loud or keeping my mouth shut when my principal says something ridiculous, which is often. Real resilience for a teacher means having a stressful day, but coming back the next day and all those days in between.

Agreed! As a teacher honestly it’s sometimes accepting the things I can’t control.

I teach a 7th/8th grade self-contained classroom and I'm looking for recommendations on morning activities, transitions, and non-core subject matter.

I have a high level of ADD/ADHD students, so I was contemplating a Morning Meditation and/or Movement to help them focus more. I also would like to work on incorporating transition periods that will allow them to more easily convert to a six period schedule in high school.

I also enjoy teaching life skills, such as investing, and would love recs

Also wondering what curriculum is being used, if any, in your classrooms
