Hi, friends! It’s been a while! I am 4 weeks in at my new school, and things are going… well, it’s going!
My Biggest Move Your Bus Takeaways:
- Don’t get caught up in negativity. I know we hear this all the time, but it’s imperative. Some people thrive on negativity and will try to drag you down with them.
- “Runners” don’t “run” for the sake of competition or to receive credit. They “run” because they genuinely believe in what they are doing, and they find motivation intrinsically without seeking affirmation from others.
- As a “driver,” there is nothing more detrimental than killing the spirit of the “runners.” Morale is important. Morale is especially important in a field like education, where lots of little lives are involved and impacted by our emotional well-being.
- Even “runners” make mistakes. And that’s okay. “Dear Runners, it is okay to allow yourself to make a mistake. Give yourself permission to forgive yourself and move on. You can’t run with a mistake on your heart. Let it go. And, don’t be afraid to ask for help. We think we have to prove ourselves by having all the answers, doing things well, and independently, but we don’t.”
Take a minute to let that last one sink in.

In a few months, we are doing a book study on this book at school. I can't wait to read it!!
Glad I got to "meet you" in the tpt chat tonight! 🙂
