As I get older, every day, I think about things a little differently. A friend of mine recently found out that her job will be changing, and it caught her a bit off guard. We have spoken a few times on Voxer and our focus has been on what to do next. The quote below struck me as I thought about her. I know her, but I don't know her near as well as I know each of you. Think about those things that you are faced with every day and the choices you make regarding these things. Do you blame others or focus on what you can do? Do you celebrate others' successes as much as you celebrate your own? Think about all that you come across every day and ask yourself this...Do I decide to live by choice or by chance? If you're like me, I bet you'd rather live by choice.

Family smore for 3.3.17
Do you know we can learn anywhere? So can our kids!
Wednesday night, I was supposed to co-moderate a chat with Ted Huff, principal at Francis Howell Middle School in Missouri. That was the chat I invited you all to participate in. No one from Merton joined us, but the chat went on anyway. Hopefully you can join us next time. Any way, I wasn't at home on Wednesday night. Jen and I were at a car dealership looking at a new vehicle and while we were waiting, I grabbed my Chromebook, connected to their wifi, and went to participating in the chat. Why do I mention this? We live in a world now where you can learn anywhere, anytime, and with anyone. We shouldn't make excuses. We should make the time. This doesn't go just for us. It goes for our students, too. Let's remind one another, and our students, of the awesome opportunities we have to learn every day.
Be the one!
