Happy Friday Videos are Back! After a year where I didn’t have all of my students on Fridays we are ready to have our Happy Fridays back! I am always reminding myself that no matter how much I love my content, the most important thing in my classroom is that I provide my students with opportunities to grow as humans. I understand my responsibility to engage students in content, but I try to remember that it is not the only thing my students need. This post is about one way that I use videos to engage my students as lifelong learners every Friday. Today I wanted to share our schedule and the YouTube playlist where I will add a new video each week. I call these Happy Friday videos but each video is usually connected to something I think we all need. Kindness and empathy are two of the biggest themes and I always try to find videos we can talk about. Sometimes the videos are just for fun. You can follow along and see some of the upcoming videos and the list from last year in this doc
It’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times
