It doesn’t matter what class expectations you post; it only matters which ones you enforce.

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. Ironically, in the 1970's, they modeled their education based on US schools and US university research.

Teachers, want to take something off your plate? Put HW in the trash. Especially for elementary, let students go home, run, play, and enjoy being a child. And read a little after playing. Then they come to school recharged instead of stressed out and you will too!

@BethMooreLPM After learning about my ex husband’s four years of secret behavior/sin, I can’t believe how easy it was for him to criticize others. It’s appalling.

Every one of us has something heavy we’re carrying as we walk through our day. And remembering that others have burdens of their own will help us choose to be a little kinder to one another today.

Today, we can choose to let compassion rise, grace soften and love lead.

For the Unbeatable Beaks project, the students chose a bird to explore. They created masks for the culminating activity. Students answered, “How does the structure of a bird’s beak help it function?”
