@alyssacabhart W4Q4: I feel like the book ties in well with BIST. I can't wait to bring up some of the ideas from this book at our Vision meeting. I really enjoyed this book! #323learns #belonging323

@alyssacabhart W4Q3: I want to be better about self care and not worry about things out of my control. #323learns #belonging323

@HannahDutton8 W7: Order: Each week this summer I've been organizing closets and getting rid of things we don't need. Now need to start in my classroom!#livewell323

@HannahDutton8 W8: Spent time with my husband for our anniversary and got away with our family for a few days. #323learns #livewell323

@alyssacabhart W4Q1: For me, success looks like taking the time with the students afterward and processing with them. I also want them to know I care and help focus on the missing skill not that the student is a bad kid. #323learns #belonging323

@alyssacabhart W4Q2: I could set paper and a pencil down at the safe seat and model for students. #belonging323 #323learns

@alyssacabhart W3Q1: Need to remember to teach students to be kind to themselves. Love having them think what they may say to a friend. #323learns #belonging323

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@alyssacabhart W3Q3: I think heartfelt problem solving allows the student to take ownership and in the end learns how to self regulate. When teacher is in control, students may only behave in that environment. #323learns #belonging323

@alyssacabhart W3Q3: I love turn and celebrate and self talk. I want to be sure to implement these. I currently do the positive note. I try and do 5 a week, but it can be hard to keep up with. #323learns #belonging323

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@alyssacabhart W3Q4: I think we are working hard to implement this now at WW. I want us to focus on making students problem solvers. We are good about meeting them where they are and teaching the skills. #323learns #belonging323

@alyssacabhart W2Q4: I think the students in my class feel safe, but may lack satisfaction and connections. Want to support students with these. Liked the jigsaw strategy so that all students understand their importance. #323learns #belonging323

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@alyssacabhart W2Q3: BIST vision team is working to strengthen school culture. Excited about our new ideas for this year. In my classroom, want to be more consistent with class meetings. I love walk and talks with my students. #323learns #belonging323

@alyssacabhart Circle of Courage:belonging. "Everyone is part of our tribe." I love this. I want to keep this in mind all year. Our classroom is our tribe. #323learns #belonging323

@alyssacabhart W2Q1: I think most everyone has a sense of belonging in our school. Love that we have a contribution team for whole school and 5th grade Project Impact for all students. #323learns #belonging323

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@HannahDutton8 I have been soaking up the time with my own kids. Getting to watch them play sports and spending afternoons with them. #livewell323 #323learns

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@alyssacabhart W1Q3: I lean in more to the students that carry "rocks". I do a walk and talk at recess with students and this is a way I've talked with them more about their challenges. Gives ss chance to talk one on one and helps build relationship. #323learns #belonging323

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@alyssacabhart W1Q4: I love the importance of self care. I added morning movement into my classroom- 5 minute stretching and yoga. Students love it! I love to exercise for self care and adding the extra recess durning COVID helped all 5th graders. #323learns #belonging323

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@alyssacabhart W1Q2: I notice more and more students carrying so many "rocks".Love that WW is using BIST strategies to help make students feel valued. Love our contribution crew and the common language we use to make students feel loved and valued. #323learns #belonging323

[Michelle Arnott @Wildcats5A]

@alyssacabhart W1Q1: I love having this mindset of meeting the students where they are with love and giving grace. I think a lot of what they are talking about in the book is what we hear in BIST. Students are missing skills. #323learns #belonging323

@HannahDutton8 W5: Nourish: I'm really trying to drink more water and add more veggies into my diet. Trying to stop drinking so much Diet Coke.
