Do not use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think and to grow.

The most undervalued skill of our time is the ability to write.

In an analog world, talking was the main currency of communication and connection. In a digital world, there's a growing premium on the capacity to convey thoughts in text.

The pen is mightier than the spoken word.

@MrsMeg_K Congratulations to you all - I am SO proud of Jaxon! Can’t wait to see what he will write next year. 🎉

Difference between using reading strategies and being a strategic reader.

Using strategies: making predictions, drawing inferences, visualizing contexts

Being strategic: setting goals, self-checking, rereading, acknowledging success
