One day Henny-penny was picking up corn in the rickyard when—whack!—an acorn hit her upon the head. "Goodness gracious me!" said Henny-penny, "the sky's a-going to fall"

I'm enjoying my current climate where people can (and do) make mistakes, without much angst and stress. Teaching is all about learning, right.

Finding teachable moments is a key ingredient to every classroom. Tolerance, forbearance, perseverance, acceptance of people's strengths and weaknesses are all mixed into the experience as well.

This has been a long week and the final week of the term is coming up so staff and students are looking forward to the break.

A student said to me today that his previous teacher was really grumpy today to which I replied that the teacher was probably really tired, so be kind.

I always remember Brené Brown's belief - I know my life is better when I work from the assumption that everyone is doing the best they can.
