May you be resilient

8/30/2015

I've taught and lived long enough to know that when you least expect it you will be called on to be resilient.  Here are words to hold you.

May resiliency enfold you like a well worn blanket.
May it cushion initial blows to ego.
May it warm you in the cold nights of loneliness.
May it be your constant traveling companion from the tallest mountain to the lowest valley and everywhere in between.
May it keep your spirit strong and your heart soft.


Wishing you a smooth week in which you can really be present for your students and find a gentle purpose in your work.

Inspiring School Values

8/29/2015

My sweet boy entered Class One this week.  It's a big deal at his school.  They have a special ceremony and the whole school attends.  At the end of the ceremony the Class Eight students led the school in this verse.  It just moved my teacher heart so much.  A deep longing of my heart is these sort of values for all children and teachers in all schools. 

This is our school
Let peace dwell here
Let the rooms be filled with contentment
Let love abide here:
Love of one another, love of mankind, love of life itself, and love of God
Let us remember:
As many hands make a house, so many hearts make a school


--Spring Garden Waldorf School Verse




P.S.  If you want to bring more love and contentment to your school culture, consider working with me as a coach or consultant.

TGIF Quote and Challenge

"The question is not who is going to let me; It's who is going to stop me."  {Ayn Rand}

I am loving this quote!  Here is what it is making me think about:  So often I am waiting for permission to do something when actually I'm the person standing in my own way!  I find myself saying to myself, "Move on over.  Make some room.  Just keep going."

That leads me right into the Friday Challenge.  This week I don't think it's about doing something just one time or just this week.  For me the Friday Challenge is one I'm going to take on for the next year. The challenge today is. . .RADICAL SELF CARE!  So often i run from one thing to another, completely depleting my resources, but saying, "I'm taking care of myself"--as if saying those words made it so.  I'm starting with just trying to be more present at an internal level.  Asking questions like:  What do I need right now?  Is this where I need to be, who I need to be with, and what I need to be doing?  Now I'm inviting you along for the journey.  Let's start today by getting out of our own way!  Are you up for the challenge?

Have a wonder-full and self care filled weekend,

Brave Teacher Mim

Back to School Inspiration

I'm devoting this week to back to school inspiration.  Many of the local brave teachers are officially back in the classroom this week {even though they have been unofficially back for a week or more.}  

Today's quote makes me think about how often I plan and prepare, and it just falls to pieces.  I'm frustrated.  I don't just let it go.  I need reminded that in spite of me something even better is falling together.

My wish for you all today is that you will be able to glimpse the better stuff that is falling together!

Meet My Friend Will

This is William Ulysses DotheRightThing.  His friends call him Will.  His whole mission in life is to teach kids how to act and react in life by asking the simple question:  WILL YOU DO THE RIGHT THING?

Will has his own Facebook Page!
He is also on Google+
{He is very social, and he is hoping for many more "likes" after his appearance here today.}

Will is the main character or star of a whole world of social/emotional learning materials geared toward elementary age children.  These materials can be used by classroom teachers, guidance counselors, scout leaders, religious educators, and anyone else who works with and cares about young people.

The main focus of Will U Learning is reproducible books that are copied on a single piece of paper but make a small 8 page book.  In each book Will U asks a question, and then he helps children learn.  Each booklet includes a one page lesson plan or learning guide with suggestions for how to expand the learning with talking, writing, creating, and doing.

Today, Will U want to share some FREE resources with every person who may be interested.

First he is offering the first book and guide in this series FREE over on Teachers Pay Teachers

Then he has a Guide for Using Will U Learning Materials {also FREE at TpT!}

Finally, he asked a friend to make a video that shows everyone how to fold and cut the single sheet of paper to make an 8 page booklet.  Watch it HERE.

Watch Will's FB page for more resources and materials.  Some Will U Learning materials will be FREE and some will be a couple bucks.

Will looks forward to sharing his amazing social/emotional learning materials with you in the future.

P.S.  Please share these with every elementary teacher, scout leader, homeschooler, and anyone else you think might like these.  Thanks, in advance for your generosity of spirit!

Higher learning for young minds.  Deeper learning for young hearts.
