// Healthy Classroom (and Team) Habits...

... in addition to maintaining a clean, tidy, and cool working classroom for our students and ourselves.

 

There will never be a world, a country, a city, a community, an industry, or a household without problems, but how we choose to handle it determines our strength or weakness, and its ultimate legacy. - Suzette

 

In our world of Education, we are always seeking out new ways to energize, engage, and elevate our young children in our various classroom settings... and beyond the basics of curriculum objectives and other school year goals. Living in a dynamic society allows for shared ideas and communication exchanges where the good, bad and at times very ugly will reveal itself in a myriad of ways. Those with decades of successful classroom and in-office health, safety and compliance experiences, will tell you that it goes without saying that creating a physically and mentally safe learning and working atmosphere continues to be vital to the positive and outstanding gains of our children and ourselves as adults in said classrooms, our schools, and other organizations. We always strive to be mindful of the whole: the entire unit, avoiding any kind of discriminatory, dishonourable, deceptive and unethical practices and communication, as we know this only opens the door to a general lack-luster state, disengagement, low group spirit, and ultimate distrust...

// Magazine Moments: Fall 2018

This season's online and offline magazine reads, and where I often find many moments of calm and inspiration each and every week. Above is a new-to-me magazine, The Simple Things, that's right up my alley with its nature-ful outdoorsy and indoor comforts and fall adventures for the entire family. Their Could-do (no pressure) list for October already has us thinking about another day-trip escape. Two more favourites after the jump...

// Hello October!~: Desktop Wallpapers for Fall

GREENERY BLISS

Good morning, and hello October! Right around this time of the year, I look forward to refreshing my desktop for the new season as we move away from our much brighter sunshine days for the next few months. A softer yet energizing (while not too overpowering) nature capture, sketch, or watercolour art is my go-to. It gives an added lift to begin the day and always makes me smile months down the road with already viewing it at least five to six times each week. Here are three new wallpaper ideas I'm currently loving. The top wallpaper (Greenery Bliss), is from a recent walk and you can click within the print for a larger download image and resize to fit for your desktop. Plus, two more loved prints after the jump. 

As usual, happy and safe travels during October. xx

// 5-Ingredient Sunday Salmon Salad

Happy Sunday! First up, I am so happy (and relieved!) that we had a safe and great first week of school this side also. I hope you had a fine week as well with getting back into a busier morning groove. Before we know it, it will feel like a breeze.~ Welcome, and welcome back everyone.

 

On to our dish of the day...  A tasty and healthy go-to for busy week nights and keeping things light (yet filling) on the weekend is this quick and easy five-ingredient salmon salad. It's pretty versatile, so you can switch things up with substituting your preferred lean meat protein: grilled chicken, turkey, shrimp, or beef for starters. It starts with a simple fish rub that's in everyone's pantry and the rest is a no-brainer. More time to maximize on some cozy movie time. We fell asleep twice this past week (and within minutes of) as it was indeed bedtime at 10 pm after a fully-loaded day. Fingers crossed that this third time will be the charm. Have a restful Sunday everybody.  ~xx
