-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Fw: thoughts from Maryln From: nava horovitz <horovm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ?Counter stress.? Some of the children you teach live in perpetual stress. You cannot change what is occurring in the home, but you can change what is occurring in your classroom. The brain functions best when de-stressed. Use stress-relieving activities. Play music. Have fun. Take time to laugh and smile. You are a difference maker in the lives of students. Have a great day and a great week.
