Same Message, Different Day

I wish more people would read these blogs.... Here is the thought for 17 days. Short term goals. 17 days until Winter Break. 17 days of no missing assignments. It is unbelievable how many students have multiple missing assignments. Good kids...smart kids. It's beyond frustrating and I know it's frustrating at home too. Drilling home the thought of short term goals is a life long skill...and if 17 days is too long, work on one week at a time. Every one of us has had a job to do that at the time seemed overwhelming, but we all rolled up our selves and got the job done. This is what we need to stress to our kids. We, they, you, can do anything if you break it up into do-able parts. Please help hammer that home. It's a skill that will help them in the long run.
