5th grade created a class composition using new recorder notes low E & D, uploaded a picture of it to their @Seesaw accounts, then were able to practice on their own, recording their progress for me to see. Loved using tech for modification/redefinition! @techingin

I'm doing a feelings check at the beginning of my groups (& sometimes end if I notice a change). This morning a couple of 2nd graders went from starting at blue & red to finishing group all in green 💚

Education needs to be combined with a sincere, compassionate motivation. When intelligence and warm-heartedness are combined, individuals will be happier and more at peace with themselves, their families will benefit and as a result the wider community will benefit too.
Thanks to 3:11 Project and community donors for surprising Nicholson’s teachers with money to start off the year! You all made our day! A big woohoo to you! @NicholsonEagles @sd129 #ittakesavillage

Yes.......
If we could see emotional scars like we do physical scars, we might be much more patient and empathetic toward students that test our patience.
