We do a much better job of teaching our students when we first take the time to understand our students. Understanding their background, their experiences, their challenges, and their joys goes a long way toward building a classroom culture that fosters meaningful learning.

Hoping to make time for daily reflection this year both to remind myself of what I DID accomplish as well as set priorities for the next day. #WarmDemanders
Replying to @me1odystacy
"Am I growing myself?" really speaks to me. Thank you for reminding me of that important internal measure when I'm reflecting! #WarmDemanders
