"Regardless of how tough you are, no matter how strong, smart, or respected, the world will at some point try to break you. It will happen more than once in your life, to varying degrees. But it will happen, that is assured. The true you is the way you react to those obstacles."

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

What if we took the time to help students who feel unsuccessful, lack confidence, or defeated find one strength to focus on and develop? That's not just growth mindset, but can be life changing!

3 Truths to Remember Today:

1) Happiness is an inside job. Don't expect other people or things to make you happy.

2) Don't chase success. Decide to make a difference and success will find you. 

3) Abundance flows into your life when gratitude flows out of your heart.

The real learning loss from the pandemic has been social and emotional skills. Such as making and maintaining friendships, participating in group projects, and regulation of emotions. Students need unstructured play, recess, and group interaction more than ever.

Education should include teaching students to be other focused. Start something new next year.
1. toy or can food drive
2. Help w/yard work for elderly or senior center.
3. Write a letter to a pen pal (senior/ war vet)
4. Spend time w/sick kids in hospital
What are some others?

We know the value of self reflection as educators at the end of the year, but we also need to teach this skill to kids at the end of a bumpy school year for many.

Let’s give kids powerful personal & academic growth tools earlier than we learned them ⚒️💪

@TLCeducate Make sure that meetings during or after school are absolutely necessary. Invite the staff that need the information or send it in an email.

[Jessica Williams @jessicaslocum3]

Teachers NEED time, so we did our April staff meeting "take-out" style in order to give the gift of time!

Staff picked up their "take-out" boxes and can engage with this month's staff meeting content by scanning the QR codes! They also got a little treat inside their box 😉

[Jonathan Alsheimer @mr_Alsheimer]

This is powerfully true - Both as a parent and as an educator this is something we must continue to remember.

@whitney_larocca Yes. I worked really hard this year, focused on teaching writing instead of being self contained. Loved every minute. My kids grew SO much. STAAR scores don’t show that growth. Not sorry to say I don’t care.
