I nice piece of advice I heard today - require oral answers. Grade (evaluate, analyze) student's knowledge through their spoken responses. They can read their writing aloud and then answers questions about their thinking process.

Apps like @padlet.com support this, too.

Fear has a physical reaction.

Some friends are worth everything. Some, not so much. How can you tell which is which?

We all need time alone and time with others. But finding the balance of alone-ness and together-ness isn't easy. When I need "you" you are busy. When you need me, I'm busy. "Your" idea of fun and mine are different. Our together time was lousy. Shake it off. Try again. Your friendship is worth it.

In school: I can love a child with my whole heart, but also feel very uncomfortable with their behavior choices.

If happiness is sand in an hourglass, I need to learn to catch more of it.

In school: celebrating every small accomplishment for others 👍. Being celebrated by others? Hmmm, can't remember the last time that happened. Happiness is a culture. ✔️

Some people have a deeper sadness due to loss or trauma. We cannot understand the depth of their feelings.

Sadness must be expressed for it to pass. It can return with a certain smell or sound.

Even though we feel sad, we wear a happy face. It isn't healthy so why do we do it?

Wait. How do they tell if you use #ai or not?

When we only look at behavior, we stop seeing the child and only look with an intent to judge whether we need to reward or punish. When we look behind the behavior, we see that little struggling human, our little human who needs our help -- with something. Rebecca Eanes. Watercolor by Celeste Keller. A portrait-style, watercolor painting of a young child with brown eyes and brown wavy hair. They could be a boy or a girl. Their wistful gaze looks to the left while their body is facing partly to the right. They're wearing an orange zipper top with a blue shirt underneath.

Just a reminder in case you forgot (and I'm reminding myself too).

And then one day you're trying to teach (anything) and the one who struggles to join in brings everything to a halt... every 10 minutes.

I really wish I knew what to do when everything is

Start a load of laundry. Go for a walk. Hang it out to dry. Pop in a second load. Wash dishes. Hang the clothes out to dry. Wash another load. Watch one episode of the Mandolorian. Hang up the clothes to dry.

Now, where's the list of those who signed? We gotta know who has turned to the dark side.

Wait, what?

Unless you're a student in school, you're the only one who needs to know. 🥰

My sister went to a doc and specifically asked to be diagnosed.

The doc didn't do it. Nor did they suggest one who could.

What's that all about?

Light the way.

Learning’s a light.

Gave each of my kids a tea light as they walked in on day one this year.

I asked them to imagine it as their learning and to have it on their desk each day to cherish and nurture.

It also serves as a signal for readiness—on or off.

Light the way. 🙂
