Good evening everyone. Davis Roberts, Principal of Dinwiddie Elementary School in Virginia. I am grateful for making it through another day #VAESPChat

A1) Empathy is accepting the fact that we were born with two ears and one mouth for a reason. I believe that listening is the practical definition of empathy. #VAESPChat

A2) We are constantly under the social microscope and people are looking at our actions. When we model the Platimum Rule others see our caring spirit and want to do the same for others #VAESPChat

A1) When I first wake up, before my feet hit the floor I read a devotional so far I am on a streak to making this a habit #VAESPChat

A2) I have a great, thoughtful administrative intern who prepares activities for the staff that takes their mind off of the work of the day (duck hunt, lunch from area resturants on Friday's and reaching back to provide field trips for grades who missed trips last Yr. #VAESPChat

A3) My math specialist put multiplication facts at stopping points around the building. At dismissal a first grade student knew the answer to a multiplication problem, when the question was asked to a fourth grader. 1st grader said he saw fact by gym door #VAESPChat

A4) We had a very successful fund raiser. Students and Parents went above and beyond, now I get to be human "Sundae" with all the toppings #VAESPChat

#A1) We did a Christmas Functional Text activity with three stations. The parents were able to make a ginger bread house with their kids. We raffled off a television and provided pizza. A story was read aloud to the students and parents to end the session.

#A2) We are fortunate to have a family engagement specialist and she does an excellent job involving parents and collecting their input for a variety of activities in and around the school.

A3) Engaged familes have more opportunities to have specific discussions about school activities and events. Students get the chance to share their opinions with their parents about their school experiences.
