This is so important! The time is now to set regular sleeping habits! I’m committed to getting more sleep! Will you do the same for yourself and your kids?

Listening to our students speak about the Charter, the Mood Meter, and RULER makes me realize that they are soooo emotionally intelligent. I can’t wait to see what this year brings!

Our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders get to start their grade-level charters this afternoon and I can’t wait to see how they turn out! @rulerapproach @YaleEmotion #SIMSvikings

It’s getting REALLY fun to be back in classrooms regularly. Watching our teachers create safe learning environments with regular routines has been so refreshing! #SIMSvikings

[Matt Olson @SMSMattOlson]

@moucheparkrose @parkrose @PMSPSD I would agree!

[Matt Olson @SMSMattOlson]

It feels good to have kids back in our school building under much more normal conditions. The 22/23 year is on, baby! #SIMSvikings

A few of our AVID kids snuck into to the building early this morning to hang Valentines Day cards on student lockers. I love our kids!

[Matt Olson @SMSMattOlson]

I remember doing this exact project as a 4th grader and having so much fun with it! If it’s not broken, don’t fix it! I’m almost 40 and I still remember it! Projects like this can be super meaningful to a student!

If you want to cut your learning curve in half, learn with the intention of teaching it to somebody else. 🧠

This is so true. 🧡

Our 8th-graders are ionizing hydrogen to make electricity that powers these cars. Super cool!

[Matt Olson @SMSMattOlson]

Poor grades do not motivate struggling students. Poor grades just makes students hate school even more.

What is motivating? Patience, Reteaching, Adults that Care, Second chances, Relationships.

It’s been such a long time since I’ve been able to get into classrooms and just watch instruction! Wow, that felt good! #SIMSvikings @SIMSPrincipal

@angelalaing5 The exhaustion never goes away…but neither does the passion. Welcome to the best side. :)

Difficult times can diminish us, define us or develop us. We decide. Change and challenge are inevitable, but growth is a choice.
