Sharing our school garden beds. So many benefits beyond gardening. Each bed is a design challenge. Love how they're turning out. Lots of new growth!

Seriously. Ever think about how loud and chaotic a school day is? Kids--and teachers-- need a reprise.

My lovely clerk and our December book haul.
Working with our parents of littles about the importance of reading aloud. I love these author collections!

Love all the recommendations @marilynedu.bsky.social and @marciklein.bsky.social ! Can we start a #BlueskyBookClub? 🤔
"The Boyfriend" was really good. I didn't think I would like "The Teacher" but there was a nice plot twist.
I'll swap that for a recommendation from you, Marci. :)

A3) I would write a book cenetered around #JustBeYou, living authentically with the personality one has, not trying to fit in or be what others want you to be.
A new employee from Texas said, "You're the most authentic person I've met since I've been in California."

A1) Not edu related but I'm loving all the Freida McFadden books. But new routine this year is ending the day with pleasure reading. It has sure helped me decompress.

I'm at a hybrid homeschool. We do not have grades or traditional report cards. We have 2 narrative reflections that both the teachers and parents complete twice a year. Guiding questions are provided to parents by grade level. #SunChat

I haven't created in a very long time. My version of "ME time" was much needed.
I set up a "Would You Rather?" question every Friday during extended recess. I knew it was a hit once students started running out of class to discover the question.

Listening is a powerful act of kindness.
This week, a coworker thanked me for truly listening to her—a reminder of how much it matters to feel heard.
I’m still growing my listening skills, but small steps make a big impact.

A2: Great list. Strengths are creative non-compliance, advocacy, and coalition building. As a hybrid homeschool principal, I have liberty to think outside the box and love it!
My weakness is direct action. I am conflict averse. Definitely an area of growth.

Question #2 for our #EverydayChangemaker chat: in Chapter 8, Venet provides a chart of different "ways of influencing" as an educator. (List included below)
Which of these is already a strength for you? What about a growth area?
