How do we show work place appreciation? Speaking the language of appreciation is our goal as a dept!

How we pour into others matters. Huge thanks to @laura_burgard for her work on this with the dept!

Favorite of today’s learning: “Perfectionism boils down to unreasonable expectations of oneself combined with a lack of self-love.” -from Perfectionism by @gifted_guru @KCSGifted #kcsGTseminars

[KCS Gifted @KCSGifted]

We love this! Excited to learn from exceptional teachers like @jteacha with @HaleyBryan and her leadership in this area!

[Jen Arnold @jteacha]

After looking at oil paintings of “landforms” we used dance, music, and creative movement to illustrate each landform and the mood of the paintings. #BMAfamily @2seetheglobe @MrsJatBMA

[KCS Gifted @KCSGifted]

THIS! Working hard to go from unhealthy perfectionism to healthy strategies for setting goals and high standards! @gifted_guru it’s like we are reading an awesome book on this topic!
