Quotes, tweets, and blogs
Are you more focused on the "new", or the "better"? (from George Couros)
WONDERful Ways to Promote Kindness in the Classroom (from Scholastic)
Nobody Wants to Be "Fixed" (from George Couros)
So Much More Than Letters and Numbers (from George Couros)
As I Plan My Lesson (from Pernille Ripp)
I hope that you enjoyed your time out of school these last 5 days. I know that I did. I spent time with family and friends and was unplugged more than normal. I need to do that a little more often. Anyway, this week is going to be a great one, I can just tell. I need to ask you two favors for Monday morning.

- Get out of your classrooms and into the hallways. Our kids have been away from us for 5 days. Some of them had a great time. Others might not and are looking forward to seeing us. Like my #prinicpalsinaction t-shirt says, "Smiles, high fives, and changing lives." Let's make that our motto for Monday and the week to come.
- Please show this video of the picture book "We're All Wonders". It's a nice way, I hope, of prepping our kids for the movie "Wonder" on Friday, especially those who haven't read the book.
See you all tomorrow!
Be the one!
