My wife and I sat at our kitchen table last night and realized that next year we have to come up with over $20,000 for child care. That’s two kids in preschool. Between the two of us we have *four jobs* and we still might have to use the credit card, as 25% of families do. 1/3

Finland has the world’s best education system. Instead of standardized tests, they focus on joy in learning. Kids get 15 minutes of outdoor recess every hour. Why? “The work of a child is to play.” #SundayThoughts wsj.com/articles/to-re…

Teachers, remember you are not in competition, but you're on the same team! Great teaching in isolation benefits a few, but in collaboration it benefits many! So, encourage, inspire, & motivate each other! Build a strong team culture!

Thank you so much! I am excited to be part of the Grandview community! #PWayPride #GViewGreatness

Principals shape school culture… as do custodians, secretaries, counselors, teachers, bookkeepers, students, librarians, paraprofessionals, maintenance technicians, SROs, nurses, registrars, CNP workers, assistant principals, etc. #EveryoneMatters

For all the new teachers starting this year. All are important. Image from edutopia

Here’s to a wonderful school year filled with amazing experiences!! Go Cobras!! #NewburyCobras

Autistic boy tells classmates about his struggles, reminds them to be kind to one another wjla.com/news/nation-wo…

Nowhere to go but up!! Looking forward to the opportunity to learn an instrument with our 4th Grade Cobras under the guidance of Ms. Cheung - she has her work cut out for her in regards to my skill set (to say the least).

This year I have had the opportunity to be a student again and I’m attempting to learn the clarinet. Easily the best part of the experience has been the opportunity to form deeper, authentic connections with our 4th graders during lessons. Thanks to these two for all their help!!

Good ideas are missed every day because people are too busy looking for reasons to say no. Harry Potter. Seinfeld. Star Wars. Airbnb. Uber. Netflix. Even handwashing. Pro tip: try looking for reasons to say yes. #wef20 #FridayFeeling

“‘Curiouser and curiouser!’ cried Alice.” Evidently not now. Why children need to ask questions and why they start to stop. theguardian.com/education/2020…

Today we officially opened Wellness Way, a space dedicated to social, emotional and physical wellness for our students and staff! Thank you to the HTEF, Howell BOE, Sustainable NJ, Central Admin and our PTA for their partnership! We are truly grateful. #HTPSWellness

Teachers plates can take no more. They currently have five jobs. Teacher, curriculum developer, IT for students, therapist for parents struggling, & office worker. All while trying to survive the pandemic w/ their family too. Let’s all give teachers grace & support right now.

Five years ago my daughter, Kendall, lost use of her left hand after having radiation to treat her brain #AVM. Last week she embraced the idea of learning to play one-handed & had her first lesson. It will take some time but she’s on her way #proudmom #resiliency #avmsurvivor

I originally kept the story private. But in my heart I wanted to share to shine light on a true hero Justin Maher and to let people know when losing a child it’s ok to not be ok.
