Great Things Seen & Heard

  • When leaving for the bus, a student noticed the garbage outside and volunteered to pick it up the next day!
  • New vocabulary: apparently, shepherd’s pie consists of lamb while cottage pie would be ground beef. Which did we eat the day a lamb visited our school?
  • More new vocabulary: I discovered that a middle-class white woman that complains all the time and always wants her way is called a “Karen.”
  • It’s always exciting when a student that hasn’t yet spoken in class starts answering questions!
  • Our VP’s dog ate his homework! He brought the chewed-up book to school to protect it from further damage…

Clips & Tips

Do you ever think adolescents these days have a sense of entitlement? Ever wonder why our students are so hard to separate from their cell phones? How would we encourage innovation? This video is longer than most of the clips I share, yet it is worth the time taken to watch. Check it out here:
