I have bad days. You have bad days. It's normal. We are human. Don't forget... kids are human, which means they get to have bad days too.

Why we read: #edchat To learn To escape To validate beliefs To know we are not alone To find new ideas To be inspired To learn to think To stay teachable To dare to dream To gain courage To hope To strengthen convictions To learn to write To fall in love

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Family Connect Night. Please enjoy some quality time together! Smithtown CSD

I believe ‘students won't do it unless it's for a grade' is a self-perpetuating myth. Students are looking for a purpose... relevance... and connection. Most students simply want to know their efforts are a part of something bigger than themselves.

Look who was “Caught Being Kind” for the Month of January! Congratulations and THANK YOU! Smithtown CSD

Cultivating culture is not about next week or next month. Cultivating culture is about the next email, phone call or lesson; it's about the next 15 minutes. #LT8Keys #ASCD18 #Empower18
