VRMS 6th graders and Portfolio Art students got to hear from award-winning author and illustrator @Jared_Cullum today! What a great example of perseverance and chasing after your passions🖌📚
It was pretty spectacular seeing @JamieFieldhouse in action today! She has a way explaining science concepts in a way that is easy to understand, but will stick. @VistaRidgeMS is lucky to have her!

So excited to start our new positive behavior incentive here at @VistaRidgeMS!!
Students are nominated by teachers and staff when they are caught doing great things on campus, and then names are drawn each week to pick an item from our vending machine! Congrats!

Do it.
Be brave.
Do the scary thing.
Was it perfect? No.
Was the experience worth it? 💯%
Thank you @lead4ward for allowing us to have this opportunity to speak in front of educators today! Thank you @NicholasPamila for asking me to be a part of this with you!
You have a choice today. You can complain about things you can't control or you can control what you can control and let go of what you can't. You can focus on your problems or focus on getting better. You can look for an excuse or you can look within and find your best.
Will this fix every behavior problem? No.
Will it help with some? Absolutely.
Not every off-task behavior needs a complete stop in instruction.

Readers in Ms. Schneider's class were hard at work identifying powerful moments and identifying author techniques in their book clubs. Great work!!

I remember having a 15 minute "break" in between periods in middle school AND high school, usually between 2nd and 3rd period. A downtime to socialize. Anyone else?
We spend millions to implement research based practices. BUT, we ignore the extensive research that shows how play, recess, & physical activity, can improve focus, self regulation, and on task behavior, as well as academic achievement, interpersonal skills & mental health.
