This week is Random Acts of Kindness Week! Each day this week I am giving my students a Kindness Challenge. Today's challenge is to post a kindness quote on their social media. Of course, I wanted to participate and lead by example! ๐Ÿ’œ#kindnesscounts #doallthingswithkindness

As it is Women's History Month, my students have opportunity to choose a woman in history who represents the trait perseverance and create image to share on class daily agenda! Each day I will spotlight a student's choice! ๐Ÿ’— Today is Clara Barton! #WomensHistoryMonth2021
The quote shared today has been my son's favorite quote since 3rd grade and has it hanging in his room. Michael Jordan truly demonstrated perseverance especially when he failed! He definitely proves that hard work leads to success while learning from failures. #BlackHistoryMonth
It is the last week of Black History Month...today spotlights a quote from President Obama. The last line has become a favorite of mine. Powerful Char. Ed advice...another quote popped to mind "Be the change you wish to see in the world!"-Gandhi #BlackHistoryMonth #bethechange

This week I have challenged my students to do acts of kindness for others: something unexpected at home...a "thank you" note for mail carrier... posting kindness quote on social media for friends... helping with snow cleanup. Many are accepting the challenge! ๐Ÿ’œ #kindnesscounts

my fellow teacher friends convinced me to share my framework for primary source analysis. Some of the language is specific to a class I taught today but itโ€™s p adaptable. Feel free to use w/ ur students!!

My mom always told me when I was young that "everyone has their own sparkle!" ๐Ÿ’œ This John Lewis' quote resonated with me, and I shared it with my students today. No one should lose their sparkle due to behavior of others! #BlackHistoryMonth #RandomActsofKindnessDay

Frederick Douglass, whose birth date is unknown, chose to celebrate his birthday on February 14th, because he was his mother's "little valentine." Happy Birthday, Frederick Douglass!

Yesterday's Black History Month quote was from former four star general who served as the first African-American Secretary of State. His wise words are guiding principles for success...be prepared, demonstrate effort, and persevere through failures. #BlackHistoryMonth

The Black History Month quote for today...Mae Jemison. She didn't allow those with limited imaginations stop her from achieving her dreams of becoming the first black woman in space! She had grit and determination to reach for the stars...literally! #BlackHistoryMonth
The quote for today speaks of recognizing the humanity of others and the feelings we develop for our own dignity when we do. Thurgood led a life that truly demonstrated perseverance, integrity, and respect. His story is groundbreaking! #BlackHistoryMonth

We must try to incorporate understanding of the workings of our emotions and the ways to tackle them into our education system. If we are kind and compassionate, weโ€™ll be honest. That leads to trust, stability and friendship.
