Breathing. . .

It's Friday morning of project presentation week, and I'm taking a second to blog in this Zen, calm, quiet space in my classroom.  We are partaking in a guided meditation to help us manage the stress that being rock-stars puts on us.  


The presentations I've watched so far this week have been fantastic.  Parents should be proud of the hard work their students are putting in.  I know I am! If I haven't said it recently:

PARENTS:  Thank you for trusting me to teach your children this year.  I'm so grateful for having them in my advisory and my world.   Each day they remind me how lucky I am to have this job and I know that is largely because of the other people in their lives who love, mentor and parent them.

It has been a really busy several weeks at RCAA.  We are staying warm and plugging through.  Our Avon fundraiser could have gone better, but we did have a few big sellers to carry the rest of our team.  

Parent teacher conferences went well.  For those I have to reschedule, I sent a note home with your student yesterday.  I will be doing make-up conferences on Tuesday night.

Project 16:49

Amazing folks from project 16:49 are coming to visit our school tomorrow during large group advisory.  You can learn more about project 16:49 by clicking HERE. 

A huge thank you goes to AUSTIN for organizing a popcorn fundraiser, this visit, and lots of awareness with his project studying homelessness.  

I'm using this video in advisory today to talk about empathy vs. sympathy.  Our students are generally really good at being compassionate, caring human beings.  I think it is partly because our school values time to reflect on values like this, and also because we all hold each-other accountable.  You can see this modeled if you ask any student in the building how we feel about the phrase "shut-up."  Just brace yourself. . . lol. . .
