6 Problems of “Instagram Therapy” | Psychology Today Ireland
Thursday 2nd April 2020.

Hi Everyone!!

I decided to set up a PRIVATE Instagram account specifically for my 5th and 6th Class and their parents.  The account is strictly private and you will have to request to follow.  I will NOT follow you back as I think you all need your privacy! Its just another way to reach out to you all.  I've uploaded some ideas and tips on the account, including a great Dance, which no doubt you will have seen on Tic Tok. 

Instagram Account :  muinteoir_sorcha_killeshandra

I hope you are all keeping well and are trying to do some work every day.  Don't forget you can email any work for correction to

killeshandrans@gmail.com

Please look at the Padlets I've uploaded the links on the Blog - they are filled with websites and resources for you.  I think the Answers one is good!!! I will add to this over time.

Remember:  tomorrow Friday we would be getting our Easter Holidays.  Take a break for Easter.  Read, Play games, Be Creative!



Stay Positive
