Calmness is contagious. Remaining #calm in the face of disruptive and/or unexpected student behavior helps foster the emotional regulation skills we hope to see in our Ss. This benefits not just the child who is struggling in the moment, but everyone in our presence. #SEL #edchat

Good luck at State, Sioux Central Boys Basketball Team! 🏀🏀

Student comes rushing into my room this afternoon so excited to share his reading score. This is why I teach.

Life lessons for us here. No matter what never give in. Be this little boy, who refused to give up. Be his friends who encouraged him to keep going. Persevere with your challenges. You can do this.

I love this!

The halls are full of excitement and chatter! Welcome back, Rebel friends!

Animal Day for #SiouxCentral Elementary's Homecoming dress up day and the students can't have all the fun.

Take just a few minutes each day to build relationships with your students. Listen to them. Ask them questions. Sometimes that's all they need.

Happy #WorldKindnessDay today AND every day.

#surpriseanddelight today for my Ss. They've made tremendous progress so today reading groups get to choose from some of my fav SEL books and listen to me read & math groups get to challenge me, all while snacking on donuts. (Best part, they're still learning.)

Living in a small town is great. Yesterday someone shoveled my sidewalks before I could and when I got home, I see someone pushed snow out of my drive. I hate winter but love this kindness.

I've gone out of my comfort zone during quarantine and created a blog dedicated to children's books, from picture books to YA.

I am hoping this doesn't happen to any of my students as we start thinking about going back to school next month. #childrensliteracy #childrensliterature #childrensbooks #booksforkids #whattheysaidwednesday

So much I want to try in ActivInspire: from layers to drag a copy, magic ink to resources (importing or shared)! I'm imagining all the engagement 😍 Thanks, Emily Corson EC @LearnPromethean #CampPromethean21
