Thankful for this 5th grade team. SIS teachers ROCK. @SunnyvaleInt

Ready to welcome students tomorrow! ☀️ Excited to meet my 7th & 8th graders. We are going to have an awesome year…one day at a time. @SunnyvaleISD @smslearns #middleschool #firstdayofschool #ela #studentsrock #newschoolyear

@AndyStanley We appreciated your message as we listened to it today. Such good philosophical points.

Why would we rather look good than be good? Let’s talk about it this Sunday!

Before you go to bed celebrate your success of the day. Identify one great thing about your day; one great conversation, accomplishment, thing that made you smile, or win that made you proud. Focus on your success and you'll look forward to creating more success tomorrow!

This lady couldn’t have a more perfect name—Melody. Every time we go in her shop, it’s like a beautiful arrangement of harmony is being formed. Thankful I wondered in her shop, drawn by its name, The Laughing Willow. ⁦@BishopArtsDist⁩ instagram.com/p/CJpNyM-Hdn_/…

Highly Recommend to my students! @smslearns

@LynneKelly Perfect! I just introduced your book to my classes! My kids & I are listening to it on Audible on our drive to San Antonio. I had the joy of meeting you at the SCBWI conference last year but didn’t realize you were the author this book! Next time I’ll have you sign a few copies!

Hello teachers! For those of you who were reading Song For a Whale w/ your classes before the break, here are some related resources to pass along and/or discuss with your students. (And even if you're not reading it, here's a fun whale-ish thread) #whales #KidLitQuarantine #ASL
