Feeling grateful makes us happier. Showing gratitude makes others happier.
Gratitude journals are good, but gratitude letters are better.
“Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” -William Arthur Ward

Venting and complaining about students can make us feel like we’ve done something about the issue, but it’s another example of problem admiring. Being solution focused reinforces a positive school climate and is better for kids! edweek.org/tm/articles/2019/…
Loved learning more about endangered species from the students in @LenartScience’s class! Presentations were complete with info about how to eat chocolate to save the Sumatran elephants and a demo of how to make your own paper straw! @MMScomets#MasonMoment
So proud of @MasonSchools for putting student mental health in the spotlight and hiring more mental health professionals next year led by the fabulous @nicolepfirman.
#ThoughtForTheDay Are we modeling the behaviors that we want to see repeated? At times we adults model the exact same behaviors that we are critical of students when they behave in this manner. What message are we sending?...via #Culturize
“When it comes to culture, everything speaks and everyone matters.” “Don’t wish for better E’s, choose a better R.” Thanks @TimothyKight for the inspiring R factor session! I had a great day with the @MMScomets culture #DreamTeam! @MMSGuidance will you help keep me accountable?🤓
