OK, I have had so many teachers message me that they are already burned out. So, I am going to give away (2) $50.00 gift cards (paypal) on Friday that can be used for massage, dinner, or whatever will help you refill your cup. Just retweet & let me know you're stressed out!

Touching, holding, comforting, rocking, singing and talking to a baby send the message that they are special and loved - regardless of how they are acting at the moment. More tips for caregivers to help foster positive social-emotional development: bit.ly/3EnpqAw

Recording Kindness doesn't always have to be on a tree! The Kindness Pizza is a silly, symbolic way to record kindnesses. Each time your students or children perform a kind act, note it by sticking a pepperoni on the Kindness Pizza. Download: bit.ly/3AOKMEv #iHeartCD

Our school nurse is fantastic. And if your school has one, I bet they are too. They have worked their tails off, keeping us as safe as possible... making endless hard phone calls to parents who didn’t want to hear the news. Their work has been crucial!
