It’s not just what we say but how we make others feel. A quick check-in with a student, family member, friend, or colleague can brighten their day.

Remember, you are awesome, special, and unique. You make a difference!

Catch your students doing something positive! 👏💜⭐
A quick affirmation for kindness, curiosity, or effort boosts confidence, builds relationships, & creates a safe, risk-friendly classroom.

Sticks, stones, and…toilet paper tubes? Open-ended play isn’t just fun, it’s foundational.

When children distribute leaves to classmates, sort corks, or build with egg cartons, they’re developing STEAM, storytelling, and communication skills. Here’s how. 🍁🥚
