Gratitude shifts culture. This week, write a thank-you note to your students. Thank them for effort, kindness, or simply showing up. Share one line of your note here. Gratitude multiplies when we share.

Since Daryl spoke about Brisk teaching, I have gone mercilessly down a rabbit hole Learning and exploring all it has to offer… I wish I had this when I was in the classroom, I swear.

Has anyone received a text from Christine with IMPACT saying their membership expires today? I know I paid for a year. Can someone please verify?

📝 “Write your First Day Message” Craft a short welcome message you’ll share with your students on Day 1. Something that sets the tone for your classroom culture. It could be a sentence, quote, or mantra that reflects the vibe you want all year. I'll start. "Before we get started this year, the one thing I need you to always remember is ...'if it is possible, you are capable." If it can be figured out, you are smart enough, strong enough, and capable enough to figure it out"
