@MrsVC3 @OnizahB @jaime_maccarone We made one with adhesive vinyl and a Cricuit — then the custodians waxed over it so it doesn’t come up. It cost a few hundred dollars and has been on the floor for 3.5 years!

@OnizahB @jaime_maccarone PTO has been trying to fundraise for one…..fingers crossed!

Loved coming around the corner and seeing this guy using our sensory path. It works!

Education is about developing an identity as a learner. The goal isn’t to complete an assignment. It’s to be a thinker. The goal isn’t to get a right answer. It’s to be a questioner. The goal isn’t to read a book. It’s to be a reader.

Please retweet... My niece has been missing since yesterday morning. @Snapchat won’t release information. A 14 year old girl with medical conditions is missing, they may have information and Snapchat won’t help. Snapchat you should be ashamed of yourself!

When your students know you’re in their corner, that you’ve got their back, and that you care about them as a person—they’ll respond better to your correction and direction. Effective discipline isn’t about enforcing the rules, it’s about protecting the relationship.

Love this. 🧡

Sending a huge thank you to 4 amazing principals who encouraged, supported, and mentored me along the way —- I would not be where I am today without them! Thank you! @pholli17 @jodi_mahoney @prattien @MrsVC3

#ThoughtForTheDay In this day & age of SM it’s easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to what our colleagues or district next door is doing & want to do the same. You don’t alway have to keep up w/others. Be proud of your own talents & accomplishments. #LiveYourExcellence

#ThoughtForTheDay I’ve heard it said we often sacrifice family time for work time to serve others. However, I don’t think we will ever look back on our lives & say, “I can’t believe I spent all of that time w/ my family. But we may regret we didn’t spend more. #LiveYourExcellence

#ThoughtForTheDay It’s easy to lose perspective & criticize the actions of a teacher instead of focusing on the rebuilding that needs to happen - whether it be trust or confidence. I've learned that people land where they are due to past experiences. Relationships... #Culturize

We need to remember this... #PD4uandme #4OCF

#ThoughtForTheDay All kids need recess time. So do adults. Time to be free of stress, have fun, explore and just enjoy being in a space where you aren’t defined by a letter grade or an evaluation. Free time is win time...for everyone. #Culturize

#ThoughtForTheDay No matter how many times a student tells you they don’t care about school or whether they succeed or not remember that no child wants to be a failure. Some will try & convince u but it’s in those moments when they need u the most. Believe in all kids. #Culturize

#ThoughtForTheDay We should never address students with an I-will-if-you-will attitude. Rather, we should show them that we’ll do our part whether they do theirs or not. This is important because kids don’t just hear us- they imitate us. #Culturize

#ThoughtForTheDay We have the power as educators to make a student walk out of class feeling better than they did before they walked in. The opposite is also true. When we bring our very best we help ensure they leave feeling their best and in turn so do we. #LiveYourExcellence

#ThoughtForTheDay 5 Critical Truths All School/District Leaders Must Do to Avoid Potential Undercurrents & Maintain a Healthy Culture: 1. Communicate Effectively 2. Don’t Tolerate Gossip 3. Address Conflict 4. Coach More & Evaluate Less 5. Take Care of Your People #Culturize

If you notice from a student's body language or facial expression that they seem sad, frustrated, or angry, help them identify and name those emotions. #translateemotionsintowords #SEL #refocus

#ThoughtForTheDay Self-awareness is important, but self-practice is just as important. One of the hardest places to look when things aren’t going as well as we hoped is at ourselves; our attitudes, practices, & skill sets. When we fall short, we must look within first. #Culturize

We must show students that we are listening to them and taking them seriously, and build a classroom environment in which all students do the same for their peers. #seeingthegoodinstudents #SEL #modelrespect #refocus

#ThoughtForTheDay Let’s refrain from using this phrase - “kids can’t,” when it comes to learning. Yes they can. We often look for reasons why our students “can’t do this” or “can’t do that” & then we complain when they won’t. Well, we as the adults create that culture. #Culturize
