@em_boyce@johnbcrist No! Doesnt make them anymore specialin God's eyes...just their own. Remember the old my kid beat up your honor student, enough said. 😂
Surround yourself with people who:
1. Are stronger than you in different areas and can help you grow.
2. Are not threatened by your strengths, but challenged & encouraged by them.
To all the teachers out there who are having a tough year:
Stay the course, keep at it, take time focus on you & your family, celebrate the small victories, pick & choose your battles, & remember nothing lasts forever.
You were chosen to be in these students’ lives. #youmatter
Have a student you're struggling with?
Try the 'two-by-ten' strategy:
For two minutes each day, 10 days in a row, have a personal conversation with the #student about anything the student is interested in.
Wonderful idea by Raymond Wlodkowski
When another teacher observes your challenging student come to you, hug you, say I love you, and get in line after lunch. BOOM! 💣 Her mind was blown! It made for an excellent Friday! 😍
@RobLundquist No matter what anyone says, taking time with your kids means you are a great dad! The fact you got then to sleep at the same time is a small success. Kudos!
@jenikamarion How about "we raise our children to be"... I'm only saying this because sadly looking at the new generation, it scares me to what COULD happen. It is my hopes they are ALL good people. ❤
