Morning, all. Bit under the weather and down this morning. Looks like it’s my turn to get sick. Son was sick last week. Nothing like a spring cold. But, heading to school anyway. Crazy busy week trying to wrap up a bunch of ends before we go on spring break next week. Don’t have time to miss school.

Thought I would share something I came across this weekend as I was going through student work. It, I believe, epitomizes the community that we have built in our room. I value my connections with my kids, but I also value the connections they build among each other. I am daily inspired by their compassion and care for each other. On days like today, they give me rise, the extra push I need to face the day. Kids. They give me so much hope. They lift me up. Every day.

Today’s Trail

Along today’s trail we will experience…

…reconnecting through Smiles and Frowns.

…choosing a community champ.

…making arguments in writing.

…revising introductions from feedback.

…reflecting in our Journey Journals.

…hearing a Sappy Sy Rhyme.

Happy Monday, all. Thank you for being here. Sorry for the lame post this morning.

Do. Reflect. Do Better.
