“I never want to say the word I should have. If I do it and I fail, I tried. If I do it and I succeed, better for me.” 9-11-01 #findtheherowithin BOATLIFT, An Untold Tale of 9/11 Resilience youtu.be/MDOrzF7B2Kg via @YouTube

5 tips for building class climate: 1) Talk to kids when they walk into class. 2) Learn 1 thing about each student. 3) Praise the class publicly and criticize students privately. 4) Apologize when needed. 5) Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Team Explorers, reviewing expectations with Mr. Rechtin this morning. Setting the bar high because we know these kids can reach it. #beroyal #weareexplorers

I told him he was a mathematician. He said he is a "math magician." Either way, there's nothing I Iove more than students becoming the teacher. #beroyal #weareexplorers #exceptionalexplorer

Our first Exceptional Explorer! 12 students earned tickets this week for doing exceptional things. He was the lucky winner of our drawing! So proud! #beroyal #weareexplorers

Team challengers meeting with Mr. Rechtin to focus on school expectations. It’s going to be a great year! #BeRoyal

You can’t control the quality of your students’ weekend. But you can have a huge impact on their Monday morning.

Parents send us the best kids they have -- the ones they love the most. When we’re mindful of that… we can be a little more patient, a little more tender, and a little more compassionate.

Come work with us! @TheKCSD

Doin’ the right thing is never the wrong thing.

Thanks for sharing @c_fossett Find your “get to” role. Know your role. Find the value in those you encounter. Make somebody’s life better. 🤟

Today, Governor Beshear issued a mandate across the Commonwealth for districts to require masks in our schools. Effective immediately, KCSD employees, students and visitors will be required to wear masks in all of our facilities. More info: kenton.kyschools.us/userfiles/1249…

The KCSD has updated our Plan for Safe Return to In-Person Instruction to recommend that all persons wear masks while indoors in all settings, unless otherwise exempted, regardless of COVID vaccination status. See the latest plan here: kenton.kyschools.us/userfiles/1249…

Don’t give up. Stay the course. Embrace the process and remember... anything worthwhile takes time to build. 📷 pg 94 of “The Carpenter”

Mondays are a great day to focus on what we GET TO do instead of what we HAVE TO do. Life is a gift, not an obligation.
