Yesterday was a tough one. A “why am I dong this job” kind of day. This morning I went out to get my kids. The first one to show came running up to me, arms outstretched, and a big smile on her face. She gave me a huge hug. A great way to start the day.

@LeTour @PaulSherwen This makes me so sad. The Tour won’t sound the same. Rest is peace, Paul.

@StaceyCorrigan3 So true! I’ve been using Responsive Classroom the last few years. It’s all about building community and relationships. It’s been a game changer!

[Cindy Perkins, NBCT @Catzteach]

@GaetjensTheresa @hlogananderson That was my goal!

[Cindy Perkins, NBCT @Catzteach]

Classroom is ready. First day is planned. Bring on the third graders! #flexibleseating

[Cindy Perkins, NBCT @Catzteach]

@2014ORTOY It certainly was!

@DivorcedDad101 @nate_bowling I wouldn’t be able to accept it here in OR, either. $50 or less for state employees/officials.

@2014ORTOY I learned to drive on a Pacer.

Remember that some kids come to school hungry, stressed, and traumatized--especially coming off a weekend.

A smile and a high five are free to give, yet might mean the world to students when they see you tomorrow #kidsdeserveit #teachergoals

If someone can't read, we teach.

If someone can't add, we teach.

If someone can’t behave, we NEED to teach... not just punish.

You can transform your school’s culture for free. It doesn’t cost anything to focus on the kids. It doesn’t cost anything to collaborate. And it doesn’t cost anything to keep a positive attitude. #joyfulleaders

Students are not adults--they need help with time management, study skills, prioritizing tasks, social skills, character development, etc. Instead of assuming immaturity or irresponsibility, assume they need help. #kidsdeserveit #teachergoals
