Confidence Building at the Beginning of the School Year

After a few weeks in the school year have been tackled, I often stop to reflect on my year so far. It’s at that point when I question everything, including my own knowledge and skills! What do I know? Am I really prepared to teach the whole year? Can I do this?

Tips for building teacher confidence at the beginning of the school year

With that in mind and this Bright Ideas Blog Hop on my schedule, I decided to team up the two topics. So, my Bright Idea is to to build my back up my CONFIDENCE by getting back to the basics. For me, a Social Studies teacher, the basics fall into the subject of Geography.

Geography can be tough. There is just so much to know, and it is constantly changing. Still, I play a few games to refresh: Both my knowledge and my ATTITUDE!

So, it’s time to test your skills! Can you find your way through a
Geography Scavenger Hunt Quiz? Can you follow directions? Do you know
the basics?

You and your kids will love navigating through this fun, FREE
activity, all the while reviewing the basics of geography! Try
it – start with the following link:
