I wanted to cut a student off today from telling a story that had nothing to do with my lesson because we were strapped for time. Then I remembered I might be the only one listening to him today, so I let him keep going. It was a bigger blessing to me than it was to him!

Consciously watching for small wonders in the world around you during an otherwise ordinary walk could amplify the mental health benefits, according to an interesting new psychological study of what the study’s authors call “awe walks.” @nytimes https://t.co/SNyCLUvUt9

Special delivery! Some students @HilltopESAACPS received calm down bags to help with learning in a virtual environment. Stress balls, drawing material, resources for parents, and a coping strategy book were included in the bag.

Actions speak louder than words, but words still matter.

Data: denouncing racism can motivate people to act by signaling that support for systemic change is growing.

Movements don't build in silence. Talking the talk can lead others to walk the walk.
