Kids are always watching; how we speak, how we listen, how we handle frustration, if we care, if we respect them. Either way, we’re setting an example for them to imitate. Let’s reward them with a good example.

The greatest TV show of all time! Any teachers looking for rich and engaging texts/resources (that are also fun) to dig into with students, look no further! huffpost.com/entry/twilight-…
Happy #NationalTwilightZoneDay! 63 years ago today, the series debuted on @CBS with "Where is Everybody?" Love the last line of this TV guide write-up from the October 2, 1959 premiere: "We think this series may really be a hit." Could be! 😉

Happy 32nd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act! From fighting for Section 504 in 1977 to testifying before Congress in 1988, it was a joyous day when the ADA was finally passed on July 26th, 1990. Though, even 32 years later, there is still more work to be done.

5 tips for building class climate: 1) Talk to kids when they walk into class. 2) Learn 1 thing about each student. 3) Praise the class publicly and criticize students privately. 4) Apologize when needed. 5) Don’t take yourself too seriously.

1/2 We were once at a kids’ birthday party. My twin boys were playing in a bounce house with a few other kids. After trying to have a conversation w/ one of my sons, another kid finally asked him, “Why don’t you talk?”

2/2 I told him that my son can’t talk yet, but loves to bounce just like you. Kids have a natural curiosity. It’s ok to have ?s. Let’s help them understand. I hope more schools incorporate Autism awareness lessons & opportunities for all children to play and learn together
