Sharing our school garden beds. So many benefits beyond gardening. Each bed is a design challenge. Love how they're turning out. Lots of new growth! #Garden4SEL #Garden4Grounding #Garden4BrainBreak #CreativeGardening #SchoolGarden

We had a fantastic experience at #CASTEAM25. Excellent sessions, keynotes, and ideas for #STEAM implementation. Thank you to all the presenters and hosts. #WellDone

Starting the long weekend with an amazing discussion with 4 phenomenal leaders! There's a sense of urgency for important work to be done. Thank you, @principalkafele.bsky.social, appreciate you!

Seriously. Ever think about how loud and chaotic a school day is? Kids--and teachers-- need a reprise. Got questions? Comment on the article or pop back in here. #edusky #blackedusky #SmallBites

Prepping for an ELPAC parent training. Created this student handout of test taking tips in Canva. Shout out to Claude AI for the personal assistance with content. #EduSky #ELPAC

My lovely clerk and our December book haul. Working with our parents of littles about the importance of reading aloud. I love these author collections! #EduSky #BookSky #LibrarySky #Books

Happy holidays, #EduSky, from our site to yours. I absolutely ❤️ serving our community and being their principal! Have a blessed holiday and rejuvenating break!

Love all the recommendations @marilynedu.bsky.social and @marciklein.bsky.social ! Can we start a #BlueskyBookClub? 🤔

A3) I would write a book cenetered around #JustBeYou, living authentically with the personality one has, not trying to fit in or be what others want you to be. A new employee from Texas said, "You're the most authentic person I've met since I've been in California." #LeadLap #EduSky

A1, part 2) Anxiously awaiting @principalkafele.bsky.social 's new book. Reading to lean into instructional leadership with our team. #LeadLap

A1) Not edu related but I'm loving all the Freida McFadden books. But new routine this year is ending the day with pleasure reading. It has sure helped me decompress. #LeadLap

Good morning, #LeadLap. Great to be here. Marilyn from southern California, 2nd year admin.

Thanks, #SunChat, for a great start to the day. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Thank you for hosting, Susan! Have a great week ahead!

I'm at a hybrid homeschool. We do not have grades or traditional report cards. We have 2 narrative reflections that both the teachers and parents complete twice a year. Guiding questions are provided to parents by grade level. #SunChat

Good morning, #SunChat. Marilyn from southern California. Glad to be here.

I haven't created in a very long time. My version of "ME time" was much needed. I set up a "Would You Rather?" question every Friday during extended recess. I knew it was a hit once students started running out of class to discover the question. #ExtendedRecess 🐝 #EduSky 🩵 #SEL4All 🙂 #Canva

Listening is a powerful act of kindness. This week, a coworker thanked me for truly listening to her—a reminder of how much it matters to feel heard. I’m still growing my listening skills, but small steps make a big impact. #IVHSAbees 🐝 #KindnessMatters 💛 #EduSky

A2: Great list. Strengths are creative non-compliance, advocacy, and coalition building. As a hybrid homeschool principal, I have liberty to think outside the box and love it! My weakness is direct action. I am conflict averse. Definitely an area of growth. #EverydayChangemaker

Now that I'm on #EduSky, I'm already feeling energized. Anybody have experience with an @edutopia.bsky.social pitch? Such a fantastic panel in the video! #Edutopia youtu.be/Ym-ZKckgTHM?...

Love this. Thanks for creating and sharing, @debbiecampbell.bsky.social.

Got my preorder in. Ready to ramp up my instructional leadership with the community I serve. Thank you, @principalkafele.bsky.social, for your leadership and inspiration. #EduSky

I'm excited to attend the #CaSTEAMsymposium in February. Anyone else attending? Excited to learn with you. #EduSky

A BIG thank you for the #TLAP chat. Now to follow this amazing crew! My heart is full!

A4: a simple pleasure is appreciating those in my circle. Life is so busy. Slowing down for a lil selfie brings joy and comfort. And food never hurts. <3 #TLAP

A2: We have to postpone our Fall Friendship Festival because of high winds, it was a blessing in disguise. The new day and time was much more inclusive. Our #PTO was amazing. HUGE shout-out to parents! #TLAP

#Hello, #TLap community. My first week on #EdySky and so happy for this chat! My husband and I both have birthdays and our anniversary is in November. Celebrating together is my favorite part of fall. And . . . living in the SoCal desert, a break front the heat is a high second best. :)

New here to the #EduSky community. Transitioning from teacher to administrator. Sharing my love for #inquiryBasedLearning and #EduProtocols with our teachers. This #WonderWall warms my heart!

Newbie here --> Hi there, I’m MarilynEdu! 🌟 This is my 33rd year in education, and I still love every aspect of it—especially the joy of working with students and learning something new every day. 💡 I’m excited to connect, share, and grow with this community. #EduSky
