Happiness

“This is the paradox that surrounds our quest for happiness: We know the things that will make us happy, but we don’t always do them.”
MATTHEW KELLY, RESISTING HAPPINESS

FOCUS  Find out what really makes you happy.
ACT  Identify 3 activities that increase your happiness and write them down.  
PRAY   Jesus, help me to stop chasing the things that destroy my happiness, and fill me with the desire to pursue the things that will bring me lasting happiness.

This Lent, instead of focusing on what you need to give up, focus on what makes you happy.  Take what you have given up and replace it with something that makes you happy.  God gave us this life to enjoy.  He wants us to be happy.  Take time to thank him for all his blessings and enjoy them.  

And now for a return to reality.....  What's up for this week:

Iowa Testing - Keep calm and do your best.  That is the message we should be giving students.  Be alerted to students who are rushing and not giving their best efforts.  Be encouraging.  Iowa testing is not an end to homework.  However, students should not have more than one class assessment on testing days.

End of Quarter - Yes, it's that time again.  Charles will send out dates and requirements for grades, report cards, incompletes, and honor roll.

Observations - I was planning to start this week but realize it may not be the best time with testing.  What I will be doing is starting everyone's observations with Stage 1 Planning.  I will be reviewing unit plans and grade books to see if you are meeting requirements.

Have a good week!
