Spring is in the air—and with it comes a whirlwind of special events, sunshine, and that unmistakable end-of-year energy! Between Field Day, the Book Fair, student-led conferences, and classroom celebrations, there’s a lot to look forward to.
At the same time, we’re still deep in the work of teaching, learning, and growing. This season is full of progress, but it’s also a time when students can feel a little wobbly with all the excitement.
Some helpful reminders as we find that balance together:
-
Routine is your best friend. Even as the calendar fills up, sticking to consistent sleep, meals, and screen-time habits helps students stay regulated and ready for school.
-
Joy + structure = magic. We want students to have fun and keep showing up as kind, safe, and engaged learners. You can help by reinforcing those expectations at home.
-
Pause to notice progress. Whether it’s a tough math skill or remembering to pack their own backpack, this is a great time of year to celebrate small wins.
-
Don’t forget to breathe. Deep breaths, early bedtimes, and a sense of humor go a long way—especially in May.
