Bible Lit students learning to read narrative literature in the Bible. Each group presented a Judge. I love this poster of Ehud's story.

I spent the summer traveling and writing a book! Check out my first book on Amazon!

Great advice from Jeannette Walls' Half Broke Horses: "Hope for the best. Plan for the worst."
"...when I write of self-efficacy or self-respect, I do so in the context of reality, not of feelings generated out of wishes or affirmations or gold stars granted as a reward for showing up. When I talk to teachers, I talk about reality-based self-esteem." Nathaniel Branden
"A teacher who refuses to accept a child's negative self-concept and relentlessly holds to a better view of the child's potential has the power--sometimes to save a life." Nathaniel Branden #sixpillars #selfesteem

Nathaniel Branden's Six Pillars of Self-Esteem is an amazing book. Chapter 14 deals specifically with Self-Esteem in the Schools (the chapter's title)! If you are a teacher, read this book! @NBranden

A 5th. grader that rides my bus asked me laughingly, what the name of the song was, which was playing on the radio. I replied, "#MaterialGirl by #Madonna". She laughed and said "Who?" #fame is fleeting...
