Here is my simple check-in process to close out the school year positively. I help you take a look at your academic progress and figure out if you need to make adjustments before the last day of school.

If these end-of-year challenges sound familiar, this check-in process will be especially helpful:

• Your child is rationalizing away extra work.
• Classes have already moved on to busy work
• The school year was particularly taxing for your child, and you want them to have a well-deserved break.
• You’re tired.

So, check out my video to create your end-of-year evaluation and celebration with your child.

Spring has sprung! It is so easy for students, teachers, and parents alike to throw their hands up and be done with the school year (and all that comes with it!) But there is so much good that can still be done with the time left in the academic year.

But how can we keep going?

I was inspired by my own morning routine to help you finish your school year strong. Most days, I try to have a Miracle Morning. Part of that is making three lists

1. Three things I’m grateful for
2. Three things that are a success (choose one and memorialize it in a way that’s fun for you!)
3. Three things that can be improved (choose one and devise an actionable plan to work on it!)

None of these things need to be monumental! My grateful list often includes my morning coffee or my pets. My success lists usually include that I got out of bed early enough to write! And my improvement list regularly has “positive self-talk” or items on my to-do list. None of these are giant or earth-shattering. They are reminders, and they’re only for YOU!

Will you follow this template, or create your own with your child? How did you decide to memorialize your child’s successes? Let me know what you’re focusing on improving in the comments below, so I can offer you additional support.
