Last week @HawthorneD205 held their Kindness Week Assembly! Throughout the week students demonstrated acts of kindness and were also able to acknowledge those who were kind to them! Amazing way to continue making our learning environment welcoming and supportive. #WeAreD205
Kids coming to the room aren't...
SPED kids
"Those" kids
Tier kids
Bad kids
"So-and-so's sibling" kids
RTI kids
MTSS kids
Low kids
Or any other kind of kid.
The kids coming to us are learners.
ALL of them.
We teach learners not labels.
If we believe otherwise, shame on us.
