Thanks @MBRileyMG for the Apple treats today! What a fun surprise! So thankful to work in a school building with passionate leadership and direction for our students and staff. @ShakeLeaves
Thanks @WWSPARENTU for hosting book club! Great conversation about culture and ways to help our kids. Amazing way to connect the district SEL work and mission. Makes me so proud to be a part of this as an educator AND as a parent of children in the district. #westfield
Wow! Our @MGESPTO is FANTASTIC! Had such a FUN morning going book shopping @BNCarmel_IN Books to empower my students, connect to their feelings and emotions and relate to others. We started reading them today! SO thankful! @ShakeLeaves #lovebooks #readingtoconnect
Blessed to have a workplace that values SEL. Took a break with a friend in our reset room. Walked in, he instantly said...I feel so calm. Now I’m not in the yellow zone. #mindfulmoments @ShakeLeaves thanks @MrsNewmanMG for your hard work setting! #zonesofregulation

The primary goal in addressing a discipline issue should be to prevent future misbehavior, not to prove who’s in charge, not to prove who’s right, not to gain the upper hand. Always strive to protect the relationship and use mistakes as learning opportunities.
So lucky 🍀 to work in the BEST district and also send my children to school here! An exciting kick off to a new year. So excited to greet our Ss tomorrow! #WWSRocks #makeithappen
The Ss at WMS did a GREAT job designing new playground at Asa Bales Park! The kids love the new equipment. #westfield

We must model appropriate responses to stressors if we want students to learn how to better handle their own responses. #teachergoals

Less play=lower sense of control More play=more sense of autonomy=lower anxiety. Maybe we should let kids #play more? #playmatters #socialthinking @socialthinking @earlyplay @HeartsatPlay @kjzp10 @reh327 @VinceGowmon @ImgPlayground @imagination scientificamerican.com/artic…
