Balance

What goes up must come down and yesterday was definitely a 'down' day.
They were rambunctious, not listening...bouncy. The fun from the day before had given a false impression of school. Coconuts and guitars are great but being able to fill out paperwork is a life skill. Being able to transfer what you have learned from your brain to a worksheet or conversation is essential. If we do not teach them how to communicate their ideas...how to internally motivate themselves and not always depend on external fun, we have failed them.
This week I will aim for more balance, with the goal being a once a day period of complete and total engagement brought on by fascination for learning.
