The title of a blog written by Matterend caught my eye this week, "36 Days and Counting". This is the time of the year that fatigue hits, emotionally, physically, and mentally and it affects all of us differently. So how does the way we think, act and reflect daily impact our desired outcomes, with students, our families, our own state? What if we all tried a "36 Days & Counting mindset"? Matterend comments on the message we communicate through our modeling: perseverance and grit or the year is basically over.....How do we build momentum at the end of a school year? What mindset will you adopt? Check out the link to his blog for additional details, suggestions, and strategies. Maybe you can even provide your principals and/or leadership teams with a few hints of what might make a difference in at your campus.

Be sure to check out the other articles within the blog written by other principals and teachers. Paige Givens blog titled "7 More Weeks" resonated as she explains examples of different mindsets that occur within same hallway. I think we can all connect to the examples in one way or another.
I'm liking the idea of the 7th inning stretch, it is baseball season of course! Focusing on reflection and actions that will help me accomplish desired goals for the 2016-17 school year!
