There are days when I really need to be greeted at the door with a glass of red wine and a hug.

@washingtonpost @NathanAGray beautiful work! wondered if you’d chat w/ Ss in grades 3-6 (15 min + qu) about how you take nonfiction interviews/resrch & transform into visual masterpieces? They are trying to do this but would love some pointers on the translation/process. DM me if you might entertain.

@PDin140orLESS @KeeneeLou @raccooncity @thinkchat2020 @ajoytoteach Need to chat with you. Is email a good way to connect?

@MyKidLikes This was an interesting read (perhaps for his teacher) https://t.co/BRNio5VAED

@MyKidLikes So supportive to make these things explicit 2gether. I wonder what brain-based methods might support his reflection/peace. A folder with different photos that bring him peace? A peace rock to rub while taking those breaths? Gratitude strategies?

In scripture, we see that Jesus loved children so much that He gave them His time & full attention.

Jesus still loves children so much that He gives them His time & full attention.

What might change if we began planning our Sunday community worship time with this in mind?

The best choice is your local public school. It welcomes everyone. It unifies community. It is the glue of democracy.

There is no labor shortage for jobs that pay workers fairly. Isn’t it funny how that works?

[Matthew R. Kay @MattRKay]

My colleagues led a good PD yesterday. 💯 Try this out.

@MyKidLikes Two major life moments: the letting go of a grandparent and finishing Charlotte. Might I suggest some hot chocolate and a family read of this?

@HertigChris @RBReich Other countries’ citizens or other countries’ leaders? Sincerely, I think people (like Russians) want peace but are often steered toward war by leaders who aren’t mentally well (like Putin).

@Arm_The_Workers @realist0009 @RBReich Thanks for the open-mind. I think we should keep proposing new ideas and explore new approaches. More of the same hasn’t always made us a beloved among the Nations.

@real_ric_knight @RBReich Who has suggested ridding it?

[Julie Blue @IndiBlueMoon]

@formikec @RBReich You probably already know this naming history:

It’s roots are real and still evident, sadly.

[Julie Blue @IndiBlueMoon]

@real_ric_knight @RBReich I suspect you know about the name change. The reality of these roots remain real. https://t.co/YsBV9vMnsO

@terrysanders @RBReich I’m sorry - I can’t answer your question. I’ve not called for a stop… but I have wondered what also investing in peace might mean.
