Today we visited my mom for Mother’s Day. Look at my little ham stealing Grammy’s heart! #Henry

Mother’s Day is REALLY hard for me. This morning, one of my students ran up to me and gave me a big hug and said, “Happy Mother’s Day because you’re my mom at school!” It made my morning! I started to tear up and told her to go get chips from my box of rewards.

That moment when your students worked very hard on the last big test of the year and achieved their growth goals…I have to step up my reward game! Let’s Go! Proud of my babies!! Lady Bird Johnson MS

I have been trying all year to form a relationship w/a student. Everyday I greet her. Everyday she dismisses me. She will respond in class, but otherwise will not speak to me. Today, May 21, 2024, she stopped me in the hall and ASKED ME FOR ADVICE AND THANKED ME!!!! Lady Bird Johnson MS

Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.

When one comes home from a long full day of training and just wants to relax, but the bougie pittie takes the body pillow. 🤣 Henry says he had a ruff day with all the playing and napping that he did at school.
