Always have believed we ALREADY have a superpower: ability to affect a child's day. We need to be that kind word and positive model.
I am convinced being Miss Slow and Steady would solve a lot of challenges in the classroom and out:). Turtles unite:)
Yup! Been up since 3:30 going over things..So funny after all these years!
1 superpower? The power to give people time. My teachers are going to need more of it than ever.
Have a great one, Missy.Looking forward to connecting more with you @
Feeling much better, but i overslept.
Hey, Manny! Happy September.
So great to see you buddy! I'm a little bleary this a.m. Needed to energize me:)
hi Veronica! I think if we could operate 2 dimensions (school w kids & more plan time) that would be perfect
Nice! My school just spent 1 whole week on relationship/team building before diving into academics. Great results!
I want to wish my friends the best school year ever. I believe you use your support powers daily when you connect w/your students!
thx Melissa - are you back w kids yet?

I love how many of our super powers involve manipulating time

My superpower would be to never feel nervous !

That is just fabulous! Good luck! Are you blogging about it?
I would want the power of visibility, to be everywhere a S would like to see me (other classrooms, football game, lunchtime).
You definitely worked on that this summer!
My superpower would be to stop time when I need to catch up professionally and personally
Great to meet you, Sierra! You have made an excellent choice to spend time with these educators:).
Thanks! Have a great year as well!
Good morning !!! (Phew - that felt good) kicking the 16-17 year off today.
My super power would be the ability to have Ss really see their own potential.
I'd love the power to help others feel less afraid as well. Or to channel that fear into positive energy!!!
Also time related. the power to have an immediate do-over. that would make everything so much better.
morning friend good to be back !

Love that 'old' reference! 😄😄😄😜 ❤️
Thanks, Dan! I have a feeling I am going to know 's number by heart by the end of the day.
I'd love a superpower to alleviate student anxiety
To quote "You've Got This, Stacey!" :)
My guess is you already have that superpower! :)
now that would be amazing! https://t.co/GDJUbVCELt
Also time related. the power to have an immediate do-over. that would make everything so much better.
My S-P would b an energy redirector; it would help focus on the positive & redirect any bad energy to focus on great Ss activities!
Hah. I have no idea how long ive been doing this but it is the best PD i have ever done.
I think I might. I know would be pumped. What are you thinking?
I wish that was the case. We go way into June! I taught in Illinois for 13 yrs and it was Mid aug-June 3/4. Miss that
Hey you two! Welcome back!
I want to banish "but" this year - it's the great diminisher and I will conquer it!
I would totally follow you and I bet would as well.
I love it! I just told her the same thing:)
There are a few people talking about fear this morning! It is powerful. Overcoming it would be a really great superpower!
So the next step... what would Batman do. No powers but hangs with the best of them. How can we bring about this change?
You'll love MS!!! They are awkwardly fabulous. One minute still babies, the next grown and mature https://t.co/XPWg6wqeI4

Hey, Diane! Good to see you, too!
Hey Cynthia! Welcome back.
Thanks! Blogging is one of my goals!
I guess mine would be the ability to read minds, so I would know what my Ss are going through. I would use it to reach them better
My superpower would be to be able to mind meld w/ Ss or Ts when words aren't getting the job done,just show them what's in my mind.
My superpower would be granting all Ss the gift of reading enjoyment while starting school an hour later.
So true, Brian. We do awesome things in the time we have. https://t.co/XBlC0ViA5I
