Mrs. Balch

I just read a book that said to make a “ta - da” list instead of a “to - do” list that celebrates every little thing that was done that day. I love that shift of perspective.

Important reminder! 🌱

Spend each day having positive interactions with students (and staff) and you’ll never go wrong. Those positive interactions are what influence a school’s culture. And they brighten your day! A real win-win! Connections —————— Everything Else #Edu #lead #leader #Principal

These are problematic. Why? Imply precision. Not reliable. Not evidence based. No real significant differences between levels. Focuses on materials/program not student strengths & needs. @cll_teach #plaintalknola

Today our K-6 principal team started their #LETRS training. This training will help ensure fidelity in the delivery of a structured literacy program @canon_mac. Special thanks to @KenziBuhman & Mrs. West for leading the training. @Abbondanza34 @cmsdbalch @DziakT_CMSD

Grade 3 and 4 SWPBIS Dot Party #makeyourmarkwyl

First nine week Dot Party for SWPBIS grade 1-2 have been “Making Their Mark” #makeyourmarkwyl

Fit Body Boot Camp was so much fun!! #makeyourmarkwyl

A4: Express gratitude twice as frequently as you express disappointment. It ensures you spend more time building than destroying. Our kids, parents, and colleagues need advocates. Nobody actively working with kids wants to be bad for them. Assume best intention. 👍 #BoldSchool

@frankmurphy2009 @thelivbits @HollyMMcGhee This was my favorite moment at the conference!! So heartwarming!

How many people have a photo of the exact moment when you meet (in person) for the 1st time? Now we do @thelivbits! Your timing was perfect when you peeked in on my speech right as I dedicated the reading of @HollyMMcGhee's #ComeWithMe to YOU! (photo: Ralph Abbott) #ksla18
