I hope you had a wonderful break with loved ones and that the end of this year is like a bike ride with a basket full of flowers for each of you. There is no doubt in my mind that it will be just that. We have all noticed the unique struggles of these students since they walked through our doors in August. What I find intriguing is that although we have made a lot of progress, some of the issues still linger. For example, the ability to work things out, solve problems independently, and sometimes, the ability to simply be kind to one another. Keep these things in mind as you support your students through these last few weeks of school. I know that it is tough, but it is more important than ever to flood the behavior you want to see with positive reinforcement. 

The Brooks household got some new snuggles over break. We welcomed Millie into our family. She is 100% the cutest, sweetest puppy and also Joelle's personal teddy bear. Millie insists on being the center of attention at all times. Ask me how things are going in a week after we transition back to the real world and work! I am sure it will be like a bike ride with a basket full of flowers😆
