#ThoughtForTheDay When students struggle to regulate their emotions and reactions, we as adults need to raise our compassion, not our voices. #HandleWithCareEDU

This is my first of many years to come! I am so excited to continue my career as an educator ❤️

Feeling appreciated! 🤩 (and I smell good)

“Good morning, love! I’m so glad you’re here!” is what I said to a student who was tardy for the 6th day in a row today. She was visibly anxious & frustrated. When I greeted her, her body relaxed, she smiled & said, “Good morning, Ms. J!” Humanity over rules. Especially now!

This. 🧡

This student created his own cozy atmosphere today and I absolutely love it 😂

Was finally able to walk for my graduation from WVU after a whole year of waiting. Thank you WVU for giving me the opportunity to walk across the stage to celebrate my education, even though it was a whole year later. Thats me in the last picture!❤️

Growth mindset. 🌱

Students need recess, unstructured play, physical education, all the Arts, and their extracurricular activities! That's how we make their social/emotional health a priority.

Letting it go doesn't mean that it won't come back again. Sometimes you need to let go over and over and over. #mindfulness
