Every year we get a new class roster. We scan it over to see how many, do we know any of their siblings, can we recognize any names?

Inevitably at some point, while scanning a name comes up we recognize...or even worse someone looks over our shoulder at our list and makes the unbelievably rude comment of "oh you have him/her. Good luck."

We're educators, yes. But we're also human. We aren't perfect.

So here's my challenge for you. A challenge I also gave to myself every year.

When you're looking through your class roster, or meeting your students, or hearing what others have to say, keep in mind that every single child in your class is someone else's whole world.

The experiences they've had with others does NOT determine the experience they'll have with YOU! Why? Because you're different.

You're going to find the gold within them. You're going to keep working at chipping away at their walls. You're going to allow them a clean slate each day.

Because you're a great teacher.

And I'm so thankful you're in each of those children's lives.

Mrs. Medaglia's Kindergarten class welcomed Mateo as a guest speaker this afternoon. He showed how he uses a communication device along with sign language, facial expressions, and sounds to communicate.

Neurodiverse students are often great at hiding how overwhelmed they are in the classroom. The following strategies help make sure these students feel less anxious and help them stay engaged in class. @thenerdyteacher @edutopia

Idioms and empathy in morning meeting! @avocados_and_abcs learned about putting yourself in someone else’s shoes by telling each other about a situation and then raising their shoe to identify the feelings they had in those situations. 👟

During morning meeting, our students learned about the hard work of the custodians at Surrarrer. Each class was challenged to show their appreciation for our custodians by helping out someway in the school. @Whitney2B class wrote the custodians 6 secret daily positive messages
