Focusing on daily positives and writing them down seems to be making a difference in my mental health already in this young school year. Having my students reflect positively on their day (in writing or sometimes just out loud) also feels like the seed of a snowball, gathering size and strength flake by flake.Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-53648635012862877972014-08-30T02:54:33.273-04:002014-08-30T02:54:33.273-04:00That's a truly lovely observation, Heidi.

I think teachers do need an anormous amount of patience - the rewards would only come after years and years for some, if at all. :) GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084574475796190316.post-90728612122211241762014-08-29T19:13:18.052-04:002014-08-29T19:13:18.052-04:00"minnow by minnow" - I love that, Heidi!..."minnow by minnow" - I love that, Heidi! Sal seems to have a very this way or that view of the world. My husband is the same way - fix what's broken, only feel accomplishment by finishing something.
