Zelensky is a genius. He started his 1v1 meeting with Trump by thanking Melania Trump for sending Putin a letter asking for Ukraine's children to be returned. Zelensky then gave trump a letter for his wife from the First Lady of Ukraine.
Trump was pretty mild after that.

Donald Trump invited an indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin onto American soil. This man has stolen over 19,000 Ukrainian children. This is an international war crime. Trump wants to kiss this gangster's ring.
We need leaders speaking up for the stolen children.

The First 20 Days of Reading – Free tool to kick off reading for the year
I go back to work tomorrow. A month off with big plans of all the things I was going to do, and so many things I didn't. I didn't plan really. I didn't read PD books, or watch webinars, or delve into education shorts. I have not stressed, mostly. Instead I have read, I have cooked, I have gardened, I have explored, I have napped - so many glorious naps.
