I’ll bet if you earned a nickel each time your heard the words why and what from your students you’d be able to treat yourself to a nice de-stressing spa visit at the end of each month. I may not have a spa visit up my sleeve, but I do have resources to help keep your day stress free along with two “why” and “what” books to win!
