Morphology Monday! Next Sunday 5.10 is Mother’s Day in the US, Canada, Australia, & elsewhere. Here’s a word root resource to help deepen students’ understanding of the word root Mater = Mother. Please feel free to share this resource with your own colleagues.

Teachers are those who help find strengths, wipe away tears, overpower demons and conquer fears.

FLUENCY FRIDAY! 1/2 As we move from April into May, here’s a song from the great American songbook (and one of my favorites) that reminds us of what April showers bring. If you’re not familiar with the melody, find it on youtube ( youtube.com/watch?v=U0THUm… )

Great teachers have high expectations for their students, but higher expectations for themselves.

A special thanks to the BT Community and our students! We raised $3700 to support a Cohort 6 of school-based therapy dogs. More “Nicos” will be heading to classrooms soon to support HVRSD students! #beartavernpride @JayBilly2 #airdogs #schoolbasedtherapydogs #servicelearning

The days have been filled with so much fun! We are busy at BT! Paws on the Path, our art in the display case, learning about traits with some puppies & OLA clean up! #Beartavernpride 💙🧸

IF WE DON'T FOCUS ON SCHOOL CULTURE, WE MIGHT AS WELL NOT WASTE OUR TIME FOCUSING ON ANYTHING ELSE.

We can agree these are contentious times. It can be hard to forge any type of consensus or shared vision. How can we come together to solve the complex problems of the educational system when we disagree? #ForwardTogether by @gcouros is a blueprint for moving schools from conflict to community. amzn.to/4cgFZ3B #dbcincbooks #edleaders
