Article Reflections
"Of all days, the day on which one has not laughed is the one most surely wasted."
Sébastien - Roch Nicolas de Chamfort
After reading the articles Fun and the Immune System and Lighten Up please reflect on your thoughts and feelings.
The following questions were created to be thought provoking: ( you do not have to answer them but they may aid you in your response/reflection)
1) What were some of the AHA's that you encountered? (if any)
2) How can you utilize this information in your own personal life?
3) How can this information make you a more effective teacher/counselor/parent?

I think these articles remind us of what laughter can do for ourselves in our high stressful jobs and personal lives. I understand that these articles did not reflect upon laughter and student achievement. However, if we are a little less stressed and have more "hop" in our step, our student’s achievement will increase. The suggestions given at the end of Lighten Up were very good ones. I wish that my doctors would write out a prescription for days off, laugh more, or just write me a 504 that states I need more laughter in my environment. The bottom line is that our jobs are very stressful, and anything we can do to ease our daily grind, the better for our students.
