Amanda and Tim are back with another mailbag episode to ring in the new year! Before getting into New Year's resolutions, they begin by talking about their break and why Amanda is so relieved that "all supplies are included" at her kids' origami class. The conversation continues with advice for teachers who struggle with student distractions, a discussion on elementary attention-getters, and some talk on the upcoming interview season and next month's NOW Conference.

If you have a question for a future mailbag episode, email [email protected] or leave a voice recording at 515-209-2595.
