When you’re chasing a dream or doing anything hard, you’re meant to feel good a third of the time, OK a third of the time, and crappy a third of a time. And if the ratio is roughly in that range, then you’re doing fine.

America needs to realize how seriously Canada takes Trump's #51stState threat & stop listening to right-wing media about some nonexisting groundswell of Canadians clamouring to give up our health care and way of life. (It's worth it to watch till the end.) youtu.be/z3rIlAITjXk?...

I have a 30-minute skills block which includes daily spelling, vocabulary, morphology, and reading fluency work. I try to keep initial instruction of vocabulary and spelling quick and simple. Ss use mwb for answering. I teach 3 words at a time using consistent routines.

Thank you @bronwynhemsley.bsky.social and team…We now need to a) continue to spread the word to SLT/Ps and parents, b) encourage robust empirical research into GLP/NLA efficacy (ethics might be tricky?). I’m an SSD specialist yet still get more enquiries about GLP/NLA than anything else 🤷🏼‍♀️
