Our daily routines can make a huge difference to how healthy, happy and productive we are. I’ve recently tried adjustingmy own routine [http://www.zenflow.io/users/43]in the hopes of getting more done and wasting less time in-between tasks or activities. While it’s important to understand how your own brain [http://blog.bufferapp.com/10-surprising-facts-about-how-our-brain-works] works and what routine [http://blog.bufferapp.com/youve-got-25000-mornings-as-an-adult-8-ways-to-improve-your-mornin
Happy Mother's Day to all you fabulous mothers out there! I wrote this post early and scheduled it to go out today because I'm celebrating with my family today. We're starting with a fabulous brunch (my own family, my sister and her family, and my mom and dad), then all the girls in the family are going to see the Cirque du Soleil, and then I get to return to a fantastic supper cooked by my wonderful husband (and hopefully cleaned up by my girls). Can't think of a better way to spend the day! OK ... on with the post. I only have one math journal entry to share with you today. I had planned to do another one on Friday, but a coworker of mine brought quite a few of my journals with her to our board's "share fair" on Friday. No journals = no journal entry for the day ... that's all right though, it gave us more time to finish up our Mother's Day activity. We're still in our 2D geometry unit - just need to finish up transformational geometry before we move on to fractions. This journal entry was all about symmetry. Symmetry isn't a new concept for my students, but rotational symmetry is new for my grade 5 students. This is the right-side of our journal entry - the one I model (I use my document camera to project it over the smartboard while I work on it) for the students to copy. We started out with our learning goal, then made a T-chart to compare Lines of Symmetry and Rotational Symmetry. We gave a definition for both, the cut out a trapezoid, square, and parallelogram for each side. For the lines of symmetry, we folded the shapes to check for symmetry, then drew the lines on the shape. We glued the shape down so that it could still be folded to check for symmetry (tricky with the square - we could put glue on 1/8 of the shape so that it could still fold). We discussed the "big idea" that regular polygons had the same number of lines of symmetry as sides on the shape. For the rotational symmetry side, we attached the shapes to the page using brass fasteners, and then traced the shape on the page. We could then rotate the shapes to check for rotational symmetry. Students also completed their "left-side thinking" - learning goal in student-friendly terms, what I know, what I learned, proof, and a reflection. They work on this side independently. I really like how this student completed another example of rotational symmetry, using a different shape then we used on the right side. At the beginning of class the next day, one student reviews the lesson by sharing his or her "left-side thinking". They put their journals under the document camera, and talk us through their thinking. Ever since we have started the left-side thinking, at least one of my students asks me if they can be chosen to share the next day ... now that screams success and engagement to me! What more can I ask for??? Well, that's about it ... Happy Sunday, and Happy Mother's Day! Hope all you mommies get lovingly spoiled today!

Your mind is a powerful thing. It can take you to places you’ve never been through the power of imagination. It helps you solve problems and creates memories. But it can also be your biggest enemy. When it causes you to get stuck in negative thought patterns or ruminating over the past, things can get pretty hard. We’ve all been there.

There are so many different ways you can incorporate rituals into your life and to live a life of intention and simplicity. By having rituals integrated into your daily routine, they give your routine so much meaning. Rituals can mean different things to different people, for me, my rituals consist of both habit stacking and praying. Both of these rituals for me highten my awareness of my daily routine, help me to slow down in the daily hustle and to pay closer attention to what I'm doing. To
