Five for Friday- Final Edition

Final Friday, Final Five
I hope something from these weekly updates added to your professional growth and development.
More starting again August 19.

Reflection is so important for students and adults. This presentation does a nice job frame the importance. Could be a great opening piece for kids when you talk about why the processes and procedures are built in your classroom.
