What are you Thankful for??

Happy Thanksgiving week everyone!! I am sure we all have many things to be thankful for. Here are my top three:

1. God…I am so thankful to serve a patient, forgiving, loving, and mighty God who has given me many blessings!!

2. My Family…I am very blessed to have a wonderful husband (Andy) And three beautiful children; Sophie (13), Malaya (11), and Greyson (9). They have been so patient with me as I work on my new blog and continue to create resources for myself and other teachers.

3. My awesome school family…I couldn’t imagine a better group of people to work with!!!

What are your top 3? I would love to hear from you!

Such a great perspective shift! ❤️I keep this Post It on my school computer as a daily reminder that a misbehaving kid is a discouraged kid, or a disempowered kid, or a kid missing the skills to deal with a challenge they were given.

Additional note: I need to clean my work computer 😂
