Always amazing. Wonder how many of those countries he's ever visited. I can tell you from experience, Africa is not a continent of #ShitholeCountries#bfc530
Yes I've missed her but have probably forgotten her annoying traits. Now I can stop going to watch other women play soccer and watch her again... which Clare thought was a bit odd. #bfc530
Know that I appreciate each and every one of you #bfc530 and #JoyfulLeaders friends! It’s #FollowFriday and I encourage you to pass on your own appreciation and #follow those who may inspire you! 😊👍😍
2018 not so great for me personally. Sick week, but school is much better. Excited to present with @MrsSherburne at NJASCD Whole Child Conf on Mar 2. #bfc530
So far so good. Work is slow, but finding things to keep me busy & there's we're headed to Amman, Jordan in the next school year. 2018 is gonna be great #bfc530
These two weeks have flown by. I'm planning on painting (not the creative artistic kind) and writing/editing this weekend. I'd say time with my kids, but they have their own social agendas. #bfc530
2018 has been great having both girls home and my Ss have really turned into busy bees..now if I could just shake this cold.. but it is all good #bfc530
I'm still in recovery mode from my surgery. After dinner, my belly is worn out and wants to rest by being flat. I'm still glad to be back at school, but it does make me tired. For the weekend, I have a Sunday School lesson to finalize and facilitate. #bfc530
Prepare for the success you want to have. I see so many people preparing to fail. Exhausting energy to secure backup plans for things they never wanted to do in the first place. You're going to fail. Inevitable. But get back up. Keep failing up. Learn, grow, then move forward.
2018, so far so good. Getting together with friends tonight, then preparing for an inservice presentation on Monday on the lack & necessity of play & how we can provide that in classroom for our students. #bfc530
Happy Friday #bfc530 ... was going to take a personal day today ... but a Sub did not pick it up so I guess it is off to school. It is all good because it is still Friday!
January is always very telling - either the kids come back with a fresh, slightly more mature perspective, or it’s time-travel back to September (...too many snow days to know for sure, yet!) #bfc530
I always feel like we should do service work for MLK Jr weekend. Though I'm having family over to help me empty out my house but considering why I think he'd be cool with it #bfc530
So far 2018 has been real busy. Hope to recalibrate this weekend and finish some of the reading I have started. The location of my reading is yet TBD because of a sick dog !!
#bfc530
2018 ... good so far ... implementing more Primary Source work with the kids and it is tough for them ... not everyday works into a Rockstar day. #bfc530
There are no words.... I’m sure you know but let me remind you that the words of our president do not reflect how any of us feel #respect#honor ❤️ #bfc530
So far...so good! Doing better taking care of myself, first week back at school was busy, but happy, I have many goals for this year, but I’ll tackle them. #bfc530
I am sorry you had to go through that, I think we are all here at the #bfc530 because we can relate in some way or another...stay strong...all your hard work, patience, and dedication will pay off!
We’ve been working on ordering integers and rational #s with Ss, they enjoy the physical #line activities and are improving their reasoning skills! #BFC530
Despite report card writing this weekend, I will make time to spend with my wife (date on Saturday evening), time for worship and some exercise. 😊 #bfc530
When you clean your garage maybe I can hide my basement stuff in it and we can rotate.. you having a garage and me having a basement yearly hahaha 🤣 #bfc530
Today -- as the leader of a school building -- educators need to remind our students that America has always been a melting pot, that schools welcome students from diverse origin points, and that we must chose KINDNESS and RESPECT when speaking about others. #bfc530
Spiders are cool. Trust me... It's the chickens that freak me out... their watering system was broken and I had to lie down in the chookhouse to fix it.... #bfc530
My wife keeps telling me most of the stuff in there is mine. Probably why it isnt a priority of hers other than telling me its time to take advantage of the town's spring clean up day #bfc530
#bfc530 This year has been great! This weekend, I am going to do all the day-to-day stuff it is hard to do during the week: haircut, breakfast with friends, extra long walks with the dog.
Very good... although it's a controversial one... Not everyone sees that day the white people came along and started shooting the black people as a great choice for a national day. #bfc530

The Mets stuff is NEVER to be tossed (still have Mets Yearbooks I bought at games I saw in the 70's) I see they picked up Bruce again. Still skeptical going into the year. #bfc530

This is a man who couldn’t find Haiti on a map of Hispaniola. He is spewing racist nonsense to rile up his fans because things aren’t going well for him. I’m sorry anyone has to endure this, and especially sorry that it’s affecting your sleep. :(
I’ve taught 3 and half days in January so far between sick days, snow days and field trips... but the vibe is so far so good! I got a good feeling about 2018 😊 #bfc530
It’s been a great 2018 , so far ! Lots of plans for this year so I’ll take the 3 day weekend to catch up on some side projects #bfc530@DynamicDuda338#WonderTwins
Good morning #bfc530. Sarah from gym in VA. 2018 has been intense and full of promise. Hoping for more of the same...a short break from intensity would be nice. This weekend I plan to knock stuff off the to-do list.
I’m really sorry. And I’m beside myself thinking about my students hearing this too. We are listening to MLK speeches, discussing the civil rights era, but what the hell is this era? I mean, irony doesn’t cover it...#bfc530
Play is the most important thing a child dies all day. We do a lot of play in @Brainasium215. Good luck on your presentation... hope your participants have fun playing! #BFC530
You’ve been busy Dr. congratulations on all that you’ve done recently #ditchsummit, podcasts, #edusnap you are a powerhouse I ❤️ hearing & seeing you all over the place, you are an inspiration #bfc530
Exactly Carl! Even if they're computer generated, when pick them up, leave evidence you were there! Science has proven a massive correlation between eating Chocolate and being smart! #bfc530
I know right! It should be written into the APST "Consumes several Kilograms of Chocolate per year" just after the section on knowing how students learn. #bfc530
One week back to school and I’m already sick and am loosing my voice. 🤦🏼♀️ Weekend is full of birthday celebrations for my twins and little sister. Hoping to squeeze in some rest come Monday! 🎈 #bfc530
Play is the most important thing a child does all day. We do a lot of play and tinkering in @Brainasium215. Good luck on your presentation... hope your participants have fun playing! #BFC530
Thanks. Trying to focus less on the evidence to support the idea (I will be giving them a fact sheet to support the practice they can read on their own) and more of ideation on how to introduce play more often in the classroom. #bfc530
Good morning #bfc530! #tgif I have been looking for a way for our leadership teams to communicate and track issues and decisions better. Is anyone using @SlackHQ or @twistappteam or something like that? Something else I should be looking at?
Good morning!
I am the podcast you were looking for!
What Do, great teachers DO differently? Listen to this interview with Todd Whitaker:

Have a safe commute.
Morning, #bfc530. This year's bag's been mixed, though the ledger trends more positive than not thus far. The same dynamic nicely sums up being back with students after break :) Time outside tops weekend to-do list.
(Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!) I'm convinced that the professor could have gotten them off the island if he wanted to--the question is, why stay? Maybe he loved making cools stuff out of coconuts? #originalmaker
Good morning, #bfc530!
New year, new challenges. Super excited about preparing for my new “ES Design, Creativity, Innovation” position. Slowly it’s taking shape and it seems like the stars are the limit...
Hope everyone’s year has started well!
