Life of an Educator by Justin Tarte: 5 helpful strategies for self-reflection

Long day, but a great day! Love these times when we get the chance to work together as a team with parents and student to discuss ways to enhance their school learning and find ways that will help them be successful.  Didn't get much of my paperwork done, but had some great conversations with some awesome kids and parents.  Together, we can hopefully give the student an awesome school year experience! :)  Have a great long weekend!

Today's the sixth annual Spread the Word to End the Word Day, dedicated to raising awareness about an insulting word—and respect for people with intellectual disability. Started by the Special Olympics, the campaign is on the surface about why the word "retard" perpetuates negative stereotypes of people with ID but at heart, it's about consideration.

Here's hoping you all have a Lovely Day!!  :0)

Geez, it's the last day of February!!  3 months left of this school year! YIKES, but it has gone by super fast.  Put's a little panic feeling in my stomach knowing all the work I need to get done and so little time to complete it!! :/

This has been a great year so far for me at LHS! Love the students I get to interact with and the staff here are amazing as well!  Here is a little something to help get that little charged up feeling for the next 3 months....One thing I know would enhance this feeling is if the sun would start sharing a little warmth around here!!

AND, remember to BREATHE!

Doing the right thing one step at a time, will bring success.

Together, with persistence, we can do the hard things! :)
