Ever wonder how teachers and parents can navigate the festive frenzy of December without losing their minds? Join me and my husband, Dr. Gregg Hassler Jr., as we unlock the secrets to maintaining sanity and maximizing learning during one of the busiest times of the year. We promise you'll walk away with practical strategies like planning detailed calendars to juggle school events and holiday activities seamlessly. Discover how aligning lesson plans with holiday themes can transform classroom experiences into memorable family keepsakes, all while keeping the joy of the season alive.
From managing sugar overloads at holiday parties to preserving precious memories like first graders as concert angels, we cover it all. We'll share tips on sticking to schedules, knowing your limits with holiday activities, and even ditching the Elf on the Shelf. Plus, we invite you to contribute your own success stories, helping to shine a light on what's working well in education. Let's connect, share, and celebrate the core values of family, love, and peace during this special season.
