My yearly sojourn back to Twitter to see if maybe this time I'll actually stick with it. Still took me an embarrassingly long time to find the Tweet button, this bodes very well.

@AHawk027 @kjinquiry @SmilesStephi In my family, the birthday person gets to have breakfast in bed!

A pernicious source of bad decisions in our lives…

Knowing just enough about a topic to think you’re right, but not enough to know you’re wrong.

Only took a workshop with @kjinquiry to get me back on Twitter! Great to have some thinking affirmed and some thinking challenged this weekend. Thanks @ChaptersInt for providing such great online PD opportunities!

Email from Twitter saying my account may have been compromised, I log in panicking that my data is now in the hands of nefarious tweet-villains. All seems to be well, and now I'm tweeting about it...first tweet in 3 months...did Twitter just troll me?!

How to very successfully build a Twitter following in one simple step: Ignore Twitter for two months and then feel upset that you still only have 44 followers. #killingit

PYP Exhibition in full swing!

[ISD Grade 5 @ISDFifthGrade]

Ss take #action and run their first soccer training session for @isdedu first graders for their #pypx. Great reflections: “I think we need a whistle”, “they distracted themselves, I didn’t know you could distract yourself”, “they just wanted to play!” #IBPYP #WeAreISD

In the midst of mediating a very heated recess discussion re: football goal usage, and the one child uninterested in compromise was suddenly silenced by an unexpected bee sting to the back of the neck.
Mother Nature: the ultimate mediator. #dontworryhewastotallyfine

First ever #PubPDeurope in Düsseldorf is off to a great (beer filled) start.

Q3- My advice to a teacher just starting out: Go home and go to sleep. Youll never finish it all tonight, and I promise it will still be there in the morning. Also, fake it til' you make it. #PubPDeurope #alsoreadingcornersaregreatfornapping

Q2- What brings you joy and energy? Getting my hands in the dirt and taking care of my plants and flowers. Helping something grow and flourish helps me to do the same. #PubPDeurope #itsnotgoodformymanicurestho

Turning off my various social media feeds over the past month and a half (except Instagram. I cannot give up Instagram) has been extremely good for my productivity and mental health. Happy to be back feeling a bit more balanced. #butisitbadthatineededabreakinthefirstplace

[Bri Caldwell @BriTeaches]

@CHowald15 Definitely a highlight of the last two weeks. #imbetteratknockingtowersdownthanbuildingthem
