This is powerfully true - Both as a parent and as an educator this is something we must continue to remember.

Teachers NEED time, so we did our April staff meeting "take-out" style in order to give the gift of time! Staff picked up their "take-out" boxes and can engage with this month's staff meeting content by scanning the QR codes! They also got a little treat inside their box 😉

We know the value of self reflection as educators at the end of the year, but we also need to teach this skill to kids at the end of a bumpy school year for many. Let’s give kids powerful personal & academic growth tools earlier than we learned them ⚒️💪

Education should include teaching students to be other focused. Start something new next year. 1. toy or can food drive 2. Help w/yard work for elderly or senior center. 3. Write a letter to a pen pal (senior/ war vet) 4. Spend time w/sick kids in hospital What are some others?

The real learning loss from the pandemic has been social and emotional skills. Such as making and maintaining friendships, participating in group projects, and regulation of emotions. Students need unstructured play, recess, and group interaction more than ever.

3 Truths to Remember Today: 1) Happiness is an inside job. Don't expect other people or things to make you happy. 2) Don't chase success. Decide to make a difference and success will find you.  3) Abundance flows into your life when gratitude flows out of your heart.

What if we took the time to help students who feel unsuccessful, lack confidence, or defeated find one strength to focus on and develop? That's not just growth mindset, but can be life changing!

Relationships take time but they are worth it! 🧡

"Regardless of how tough you are, no matter how strong, smart, or respected, the world will at some point try to break you. It will happen more than once in your life, to varying degrees. But it will happen, that is assured. The true you is the way you react to those obstacles."
