A student today was telling me how when she is stressed out at home, she thinks “Ms Bourque told me to breathe and take a second”, does so, and that it truly helps her. I am honestly so proud 💕 #lovemykids

Emails of motivation and support to students are SO important and are absolutely my favorite 😍 Midterms can be incredibly stressful and just adding a little positivity can mean so much ✨

I consistently find myself referring to “School House Rock” clips to support my students in their learning. Definitely an amazing resource - an oldie but a goodie 🤩 #shotheardroundtheworld #interplanetjanet #conjunctionjunction

Notes of appreciation for my students on this happy first FRIYAY of the year!

Dear parents,

Stop telling your kids that if somebody hits them, they should hit them back. It promotes a never-ending cycle of revenge, and *actually* increases their chances of harm.

For Mother’s Day, all my mom said she wanted from her kids was for us to create a legacy of amazing moments together. She shifted the focus from just her, to all of us. This shift must take place in the classroom, too. Not me, but “we”. #CultureofWE #RelationshipsMatter
