I interviewed for my first position in August. I had a small number of towns I wanted to work in, and the waiting paid off! I have never regretted the choice to wait out a position for my dream district. Years later, I decided on a small number of towns I would leave for in order to be closer to home. Don’t settle, School Psychs!

Packing up my third office of my career to move to a brand new school in September! I hate change but at the same time, I think this career benefits from mixing it up? How many schools have you worked in?

The Spring of any school is wild to some degree. Standardized testing, warmer weather, end of year activities twice a day, 😆. I loved this book by Julia Cooke that focuses on mindfulness and emotional regulation. The reminder to slow down and focus on the present is one both kids and adults could benefit from. I loved the activity book with this one for classroom lessons, small group and individual sessions!

📚 Book Title: Hello, Anxiety by Jessica Sinarski
🌈 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
📖 Summary: Destiny’s anxiety comes to a head when she’s assigned a class project. Her Dad helps her work through what anxiety is, how to deal with it, and his own experiences with it as a child.
🔍 What I Loved: You all know I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole life, so my inner child could really relate to this. I especially loved that the conversation comes from a parent, guiding other parents on how to talk to their own kids.

🌟 Recommendation: Great for reading with kids ages 8+
