Know Better Do Better

The video attached for this week is one of my favorite videos.  It shows the impact our adult interactions can have on students on a daily basis.  You never know what a student is walking though and just knowing that a kind word, hug, smile, etc. could make their day so much better helps me "get over myself" when I am having a rough patch in life.  Now, please hear me when I say that I DO NOT GET IT RIGHT EVERYDAY!!! I wish I could say I do but I would be telling a lie.  

But I do want our students to feel supported and respected at our school.  That support and respect does not mean that our students have their run of the school.  No...support and respect means that we applaud the positive behaviors that they exhibit and correct inappropriate behaviors.  We also teach students the needed behaviors when they struggle to exhibit them.  We won't always get it right but as the saying goes...once we know better we do better.  

Have an amazing week and thanks for all you do!
