Eye of the Dragon
John Dewey Academy of Learning * November 20-24, 2017
GRATITUDE
I love technology, but I'm also old school. I love to write things down. I use a planner every day and part of my planner provides a space to record a gratitude. Something I am thankful for. Something I notice throughout the day, however small. A chance to acknowledge something good around me. For this week's newsletter, I'd like to share some examples from my daily gratitude reflections.
- a dedicated staff committed to doing what's best for kids
- a district that supports our efforts to do things differently
- a learning community that encourages one another
- the excitement of Friday celebration circles
- smiling faces of students when they come to school
- curious nature of our students
- positive attitudes within this building everyday
Not all of my gratitudes are school-related, but many are. I feel privileged to be part of this great learning community and hope you feel the same.
Thank you for being a dragon! We appreciate you and we believe in you.
With gratitude,
Jen + the JDAL Staff
