Choir with Mrs. Brock!
4. Where did you go to college and what was your major?
I began college at the University of Central Florida in 2022 and am currently enrolled at Murray State University. I am projected to graduate in 2025.
5. Where do you currently live?

8 Ways to Help Your Students Build Resiliency One thing we shouldn’t do is shield kids from everyday frustrations. by Samantha Cleaver
We’ve all been there: After passing back the math quiz, a frustrated sigh and “I’ll never be able to do this!” comes from the corner of the room. And we’ve all met the student who’s so afraid of failure that he refuses to try anything new, whether that’s reading a more challenging book or doing a long-division problem that looks more difficult than the one he did yesterday. Then there are the kids who are rarely discouraged. They understand that even if today was tough, tomorrow is a new day.
The difference between the kids who bounce back easily and those who can’t seem to recover from the frustration is resiliency.
Resiliency comes from kids’ beliefs and attitudes about themselves and what happens to them. Fortunately, these internal factors—humor, inner direction, optimism, and flexibility—are traits that we can build or strengthen.
One thing we shouldn’t do is shield kids from everyday frustrations. They need to experience everyday failures and challenges. It’s the kids who never feel frustrated (or who experience excessive stress) who are vulnerable later. Click Here for the full article! |
