How we live from day to day affects our future. Warm-heartedness is the key factor. I think about it always because it’s warm-heartedness that brings us peace of mind.
Are you feeling powerless & want to know how you can support teachers & give our schools an opportunity to catch their breath & reform in order to support students as we recover from Covid-19? Apply to be a substitute in your school district. That’s when support becomes real. ♥️

Today I cleared our walls to put up new projects. With that being done, I could see the improvement and learning that has happened in just 14 days of school among all the artwork of each student. How neat to see this student's progression of their name writing! @PrairieTrails26

Happiness derived from mere physical comfort tends to be shallow and fleeting. It fails to pacify anxiety and fear. Whereas if we have a calm mind it is effective in overcoming even physical pain, therefore we should not neglect the inner values that are a source of a calm mind.

Over just the last two weeks, we’ve seen statewide increases in every single measure, from cases to positivity to hospitalizations to ICU visits to ventilator usage to deaths. Folks, this is serious. It's time to come together to fight the second wave of this pandemic.

A remarkable moment from the past where decency and hope won out on Capitol Hill. Courtesy of Mr. Rogers. Definitely worth watching.

Benchmarks can be adjusted; emotional support & compassion during these times can’t. Neglecting the emotional impact this has on ourselves & our students now will result in using all of our time addressing those needs later. It’s harder to remove scars than it is to mend wounds.
Reminder that kids are not "falling behind" academically during these crazy times. Standards, benchmarks, and accountability measures are all arbitrarily created by schools and can just as easily be readjusted as needed.
