A2:It was shocking to hear Monica say that your feelings affect people up to 10 ft away!If one kid is having a bad day, everyone else is affected.Listening to the kids and telling them everything will be okay will create a positive and happy environment for them and us #hcisdchat
A5: I am thankful for my husband, family, friends, students and the love that we share.For my wonderful life, my health and the health of those I love.I am thankful for all of the blessings in my life most of all my baby boy on the way. #HCISDchat#UGiveMe5#dailyreminderonmywall
A4: I would like to try a gratitude journal where kids may have time to reflect, write, and draw about what they are grateful for with a different topic each day (school,home,friends,family,pets,food).Also, a gratitude jar for things we are grateful about each other. #HCISDchat
A3:We never know what happens to our kids before they come through our doors,but we can see when something is wrong.Beginning the day in a positive way,with a quote,a quick chat or writing what they are thankful for can help refocus their attention to positive things #HCISDchat
A1: I remind my students to ALWAYS be positive and treat others how they would like to be treated. I model this behavior with my interactions with them and my colleagues. A simple smile and words of encouragement go a long way to begin their day in a positive way. #hcisdchat
A4: love of learning is important because everyday we are faced with new challenges and technologies. If we don’t love learning we will have a hard time adapting to unavoidable changes.
A3:I tell my students that everything we learn is of importance to our lives. I let them question, analyze, and help them understand the connection to their lives. They are detectives making those real world connections while having fun. #HCISDchat
A2: my students, my colleagues, my family and friends foster my love of learning. I always want to know more than I did yesterday so that I may help others.
A1: fostering learning is demonstrating that learning is essential to our lives because everyday we learn something new, while making it fun and interesting. #HCISDchat
A5: Everyone I have come across has taught me something important, but I would like to send a special shout out to my dad, mom, husband,and Bowie 4th grade team!Each one of them taught me the essential things a leader does through their examples and experiences #HCISchat#blessed
A4:My dad is a businessowner.Since I was young,he taught me that if you take care of and serve your employees,they will take care of you.He created an environment of mutual respect and harmony by listening to their ideas,concerns,motivating,and working alongside them. #HCISDchat
A3: I always tell my students "It's okay to make a mistake, it is not okay to stop trying." Mistakes are part of every learning process.We take a step back, analyze what we did wrong, and try a different way. We fail forward by not giving up and finding solutions. #HCISDchat
