Every teacher knows there is not tired like the beginning of school tired right? How did we forget about the December tired? The endless stories about what their elf at home is doing each day, the full of energy, bouncing little excited people we try to try to get to stay focused tired??? I would be lying if I said that I did not enjoy it because I do. I really enjoy this time of the year and the sweet excitement I can see through my students eyes. It is challenging to keep students focused during this time of the year. One thing I try to do is stay on schedule and keep students in a routine. With that being said, I love to bring in seasonal centers and crafts that keep students engaged and focused while still getting to do something fun. One center that my students absolutely is our QR center. Students can easily scan the QR card to listen to a seasonal book. This makes a great listening center.
