"He should've waited until it was a full moon and taken you on a walk at sunset. Then a werewolf could've attacked you and he would have to defeat it! Then after he killed it, he could pull the ring out of the werewolf's stomach and propose!" #howheshouldhaveproposed #4thgraders

@CharlieCrea How could I have missed that?! I'll have to apologize to him today 😉

Yesterday I had to convince one of my preschoolers that even though rubbing two dry things together can sometimes start a fire, me brushing the snow off his jacket would not, in fact, cause it to burst into flames. I love my job. #preschool #ecechat #edchat #joyinthelittlethings

#thankful for the cracks, snaps, and trembling in my body as I worked on this today, and the mindset of #health and #selflove @yogawithadriene brings to my mornings. #joyinthelittlethings https://t.co/UsbH0Nf6JC

TRUE - Day 5 - High  - https://t.co/Qj3jnUIi1n Today, we synchronize to stimulate, awaken, and align.

Be patient and kind to yourself today! It’s not about syncing up with me as much as it is about synching up with YOU. 

Today we use yoga and pranayama to light it up.

I had a case of the Mondays, but then I remembered how much I laughed with my students and coworkers last week. I'm so ready to do that again! #joyinthelittlethings #edchat #mondays #ilovewhatido #preschool

A6b: Brightens my day to see so many shout-outs to PLNs that are helping you all grow! #bettertogether #pln #leadupchat

[Laura Trader @lauralisetta]

A6: Hard question. So many great coworkers/friends/passionate people, and part of my goal is to deepen friendships to keep each other accountable & on track to reach goals. #leadupchat

@PreK33 @tsschmidty @HeatherTForbes @SporLin Thanks!

A5: The most powerful initiatives take on a life of their own - they don’t live with ONE person, but instead, they GROW. As more people BELIEVE in the base, the result morphs into something AMAZING that often would have been inconceivable initially. #leadupchat #powerofbelief

[Laura Trader @lauralisetta]

@PreK33 @tsschmidty Any good reads you would recommend on trauma-informed practice? Especially in prek?

[Laura Trader @lauralisetta]

@mdeHSD I love this. Thanks for sharing!

[Shelly Swayne @Swayne_LeadUp]

A4: #myoneword is an extraordinary goal this year. Grace is not something I offer myself enough of. I try too hard, work too much, worry too often & try to solve too much of it all. My brave goal: find enough grace to be better for this passion than I’ve ever been #LeadUpChat https://t.co/6Q8xIxzWt2

[Laura Trader @lauralisetta]

A4: Health - physically, relationally, spiritually, professionally. Restoring myself so I can serve others. #leadupchat

[Laura Trader @lauralisetta]

@JanaCParker You are not alone! I can always think of hundreds of goals, but focusing on one or two is tricky.

[Nick Duffy @DuffysClassroom]

A4: Be courageous in addressing anything that is not good for children. If I lack bravery to address that which erodes a culture of learning, I permit failure for kids, colleagues, and our community. #leadupchat

"Extraordinary and amazing things come from setting goals that never point back to the person setting the goals but to the others they impact." Love it. #leadupchat https://t.co/NMrqxbfXHf

[Sean Owen @SeanOwenPhD]

A3 Servitude. Extraordinary and amazing things come from setting goals that never point back to the person setting the goals but to the others they impact. That spirit I feel is what we all strive to do on a daily basis. #leadupchat

[Angela Grant @ad1grant]

A3: With a little move love...if we understand that every action we take as school leaders should be done out of love for people, we could do extraordinary things! #leadupchat

[Dave Black @dawblack]

A3: For me personally, the word might be patience -- having the patience to see through goals. It is easy to want to see change come about more quickly than it will naturally. #leadupchat
