When I was growing up, my favorite story was "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day." It made me smile to know that other kids had bad days too. Last week, I had a BAD week. It was the week after spring break (BAD). My son was diagnosed with a disturbing psychological condition (VERY BAD), and I began to doubt my skills as a mother, teacher and overall human being (VERY, VERY BAD). However, school doesn't close just because we are not feeling our very best. New teachers, you all need to know that having a bad day doesn't need to translate into school disasters. Read my article to find out what you can do in class when you have your terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. After all, it takes a while to save up those sick days!
You will find some great Bad Day ideas in my new article,
