Words all kids love hearing:
1. Welcome. We missed you.
2. I’m so glad you are here.
3. I believe (in) you.
4. I was wrong. I apologize.
5. I love having you in my class.
Drop yours 👇. #edchat #edutwitter #thatonekid

If you’re persistently discouraged, you’re thinking about things you can’t do in the present.

Evaluate plans by their actionability.
