The Finish Line Is Getting Closer

Date: June 6th, 2025
Today marks the second-to-last Friday for The First Five this school year.
We know every school and district wraps up at different times. Some of you are already in celebration mode. Some of you are still pushing through those final lessons and projects. Wherever you are, we hope you are finding small moments to slow down and appreciate the journey.
The work you have done this year matters. The time, care, and heart you poured into your students will last far beyond the last day of school.
The First Five will wrap up for the year next Friday, June 13th. Until then, we are right here with you, helping you finish strong.
You've got this.
Take It Outside
Author: John Whalen
Date: June 5th, 2025
Today’s First Five is all about the outdoors.
As the school year winds down, it is the perfect time to soak up some fresh air, move around, and bring a little more energy into the day. Whether it is a five-minute check-in outside, a quick nature walk, or just opening the door to let the sunshine in, even small outdoor moments can make a big difference.
Getting outside helps students (and teachers) reset, recharge, and reconnect. It sparks curiosity, creativity, and a fresh perspective when everyone needs it most.
If you can, find a way to take part of your day outside today. A little fresh air might be exactly what you and your students need.
More Than a Training. It's a Shift.

A Different Way to Think About Time
Author: John Whalen
Date: June 3rd, 2025
Today we are sharing a video that might hit a little harder than most, but in the best possible way.
In this powerful TED Talk, Dino Ambrosi breaks down how much time you actually have from age 18 to 90. It is a reminder that while life feels busy and endless right now, the choices we make and the time we invest really matter.
This is a great video to reflect on yourself or even share with students who are getting ready for their next chapter. It encourages all of us to slow down, think carefully about what matters, and use the time we are given with intention and purpose.
Sometimes a new perspective is all it takes to start thinking bigger.
