Very informative talk by @dr_amundson on the impact of trauma. It happens in all our schools....urban and rural. “It is our job to be cautious and understand they might be going through something.” “Life is hard.” Our kids are seeing more than ever before. Empathy. #bccu2pride
That #student you see every morning in the hall who you say ‘good morning’ to but yet never looks up or responds.
Keep trying... you may never get a response, but they know you notice them & that reassurance at the start of their day can be #life changing.
Love this Teachable Moments reflection on handling failure with grace:

🗣️ Best thing I saw tonight was all the support for RaeAnne Toennies & "We Play for Rae". Bake sale was great, 50/50 was donated back both times, & the referees donated their checks back to the cause. Unbelievable support from everyone. Thanks to all that helped out tonight. 🙏

Take time to take care of each other.
