[James Clear @JamesClear]

A valuable skill in life is to be larger than the situation.

When you're feeling stressed or rattled, the situation is consuming you. It feels bigger and more important than it needs to be. This is when your emotions are likely to get the best of you.

But when you are larger than the situation, you can mentally "step outside and above it." Yes, there are problems to be solved. Yes, you need to take action. But the chaos is happening externally and you are still in the driver's seat internally. You're in control of the moment, the moment is not in control of you.

Love seeing science and literacy units integrated. These are real-world experiences these 2nd graders will never forget. #realworldlearning

"The hard truth: professional learning in absence of curriculum has a weak track record for changing student outcomes, even with sizable investments."

2nd grade science class @Amplify: We talked about ingredients to make a strong glue. Citric acid came up in the book. Students weren’t sure about eating acid. So a student went to the store and found candy with citric acid in it! She brought it in to share. Love this! @kckschools

Love seeing 2nd grade students apply science learning to real world examples with a microbiologist. Bees are such an important part of plant and animal relationships. @Amplify @taedisonkck @KCKPS_CI @kckschools

Once school systems select high-quality and aligned materials designed for today’s science standards and establish a professional learning plan, teachers need a safe space to learn, try out strategies, and receive feedback.

It’s estimated that this ladder was laid on the limestone around 150 years ago. When it rained, it dissolved the carbonate compounds contained in limestone & soaked the ladder in calcium and magnesium ions. Over time, the minerals solidified and petrified the ladder's surface.
