Happy Fri-YAY!!!! For some of us, it's the last Friday of summer break and we need to make sure we are mentally ready for this year. Entering this school year is going to be a lot different than previous years. We have to make sure that we are mentally and physically prepared to be the best educators we can be to our sweet babies! And that starts with taking care of you! Meredith and I share our self care tips and how we take care of ourselves so we are ready to take care of others.  Share your self care tips and tricks with us!!

Hello again and happy Friday! Today Meredith and I talk about our honest, unfiltered feelings about the upcoming school year. Everyone has an opinions on schools reopening yet not many people are actually talking to the teachers.

Welcome to Episode 6! Now more than ever building relationships with our students is the KEY to building a positive and welcoming classroom community. We talk about how to build trust and respect with our students, so that they could become successful learners.

Hello Friends! Guess what?! It’s Friday once again!! Always a great feeling! This week’s episode Maryam and I chat about the different behavior strategies that we implemented in our own classrooms.

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to Teach to Grow Episode 3: The Why! In today’s episode, Maryam and I tackle the topic of recognizing the why behind the behaviors. Behaviors are a form of communication, but can look different for each of our students. We chat about how to understand what your child is trying to communicate to you through this behavior. Our challenge to each of you is to take a few minutes today or throughout the week to reflect on your WHY. Why do you wake up to go to school? Why are you a teacher? Why do you stay during difficult situations with your kids? Honesty with yourself will help you grow into a stronger educator and benefit your kids.
