New quarter. Final quarter. In-person. Five days a week.

We’re back.

Mostly.

But we’re back. And while back doesn’t mean normal, it does mean closer to normal than we’ve been in over a year.

But I am not even sure what normal was anymore. And so, it is hard to know what is, for what was will likely never be again. And maybe that’s okay, for that may more widely open the doors to betters ahead, making what will be better, if not normal. Regardless of is, was, and will be, I am looking forward to the doing. reflecting, and doing better.

And as I look ahead, I will take with me what lingers from my kids’ latest Learning Letters. Here’s a few gems that meant much to me. Thought I’d share the student view from the 180 classroom, which I always hope is not normal, for normal isn’t better. In here, it can’t be.

Happy Monday, all.

Do. Reflect. Do Better.
