My #OneWord2018 is mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. I see teachers get worked up over small misbehaviors, which in the grand scheme of things don't matter. I want to use these opportunities to teach students about mercy. #bfc530#satchat#growPLN#tlap#KidsDeserveIt
No resolution. Haven't thought of #oneword2018 Just trying to be better than yesterday. Keep on learning, keep on sharing, keep on cheerleading for Ss and fellow Ts #bfc530

Really well surprisingly. I will be practicing my ninja turtle reflex skills to guard my belly, but surprisingly little to no pain. I really don't want a cold with coughing and sneezing, as those aren't the greatest. #bfc530
Good Morning #bfc530. Well I did not do a resolution. But thanks to you all I did do a #OneWord2018 and made 4 out of 5 of my classes do it too:) Going ok...
Good morning #bfc530. Stacey from NJ. No resolutions this year (or for many years)... This year I'm working on smaller goals for each month. I wrote a blog post about it... https://t.co/NtqeFPsDR2
A friend asked me this the other day, my response was to be a better man than I was the year before. I can always improve in all areas of my life, most importantly in my relationships #bfc530

Love this Travis!
I've been seeing some great #OneWord 2018 resolutions.
Mercy - yes!
They should write a
Don't Sweat the Small Stuff book or teachers!

I had all my students choose a #oneword2018, and I took a photo of them with their word on a whiteboard. We'll hang them in class as reminders. #bfc530

It’s a combination plan of Bloglates reset and mostly vegetarian. My daughter came back from S Africa a full vegetarian so I am giving it whirl. #bfc530 And @kmichellehowell is helping!
I really don't have a New Year resolutions. I focus in the fact that if its important to me I don't need a special date to start. Start, evaluate, adjust, and improve...constantly...now. #bfc530

#bfc530 My New Year's Resolution is to remember my gifts and roles beyond #teaching: #community member, dog owner, #writer. As a well-rounded human being, I bring more to the #classroom

Agreed. We get to double (or even triple) dip on resolutions (if you count summer). Add in all the breaks and we are constantly starting fresh. #bfc530

Or carrying a pitcher of water to the restroom to flush it when there is no running water? Our staff had to do this one day, but "There wasn't a good decision that could have been made." #bfc530

My #oneword is Nurture for this year. I would like to nurture my families, my students, and my staff health, wellness, mindset, and growth. Provide myself and them the resources and support needed to achieve their potential and the goals they set! #fitnessedu#nurture#bfc530
Morning #bfc530! Joining for a hot minute! My New Year's resolution is to take better care of myself. That's also the reason my #OneWord2018 is intention. I need to be more intentional of how I balance things in my life.
The day prior to a winter weather event can be a strange time at school. It's seems like we are constantly waiting for some announcement.
Enjoy today. Cheers! #bfc530
As a Buffalo native, I've always struggled with the damp cold in the DC area and the constantly changing temps. Even though Buffalo is colder, it is a crisp dry cold. This cold snap reminds me of that. #bfc530
I do sometimes. But you are right, I should join more often. I try to turn my phone off by 7 so I can hopefully be asleep by 8 or 8:30 some my alarm goes off at 2:45. #bfc530
Time to head out.
Hope everyone has a great day and to all of my East Coast friends - try to stay warm!!
6 here right now - high of 0 on Friday and -2 on Saturday.
Brrrrr
#bfc530
I heard it's going to be on a tropical island - I am definitely in! *runs to mailbox in PJs to check for acceptance letter and feet stick to pavers due to cold* @carlameyrink#bfc530
Yep, I casually walked away from that conversation with teeth grinding into tongue. Wait for it.... we were told at 6 am that there was no water, and to not expect it to be fixed all day. #bfc530

Have a great day #bfc530! Remember...Nor'easter AND Polar Vortex...I think we will be hearing that a lot in the next few days...as I sit in front of my fireplace...
Happy New Year, Stacey! I like this idea...it only takes 21 days to change a habit, so why we make big goals that take 365 days (and then sum them up in one word) makes little sense to me. I’m on board with your approach. 😊 #bfc530
Typically when I’m trying to crush my goals my 11mon baby’s needs end up coming before my own 😳🤷🏽♀️ So really, my resolution is to find balance ❤️ I could barely tweet today lol Have a great day - from both of us! #bfc530#HappyNewYears
Good morning from south jersey! Part of my New Years Resolution as an educator is less is more. I have lots of good ideas for lessons/projects but I want to slow down and space them out to be more effectively for my students. #bfc530
Some of us just learn to grin and bear it! I have moved past a time in my life where I loved snow and really cold weather...when I skied and played a lot more outside...now I ‘fight’ it as a runner, driver and snow shoveller! 😄😄😄 #bfc530
Here’s a book I just pre-ordered yesterday. I really enjoy Pink’s writings and I often order audio book versions...grateful to be able listen as I workout and run. #bfc530#JoyfulLeaders#365DaysOfGratitude#edchat#onted
That’s exactly what I did last year with my grade 1 students, Susan! I am planning to do it with my K students when we return on Monday. I prepped them before Christmas and asked parents to discuss a possible choice, with their child, over the holidays. #bfc530#oneword2018
You know it's bad when the arena is warmer than the outside. Although the arena I was at last night was barely warmer than the -16C outside. This has been on heck of a cold snap. #winterincanada#coldsnap#brrr#bfc530
