5 minutes. Between classes. Five minutes to run to the bathroom spouting rapid-fire hellos as I pass kids new and old. I barely make it back on time.

72,536 views. On my blog. I don’t know if that’s a lot. Seems like a lot. Cannot believe my morning musings have reached so many.

1 share. One of my kids 5th period shared during Smiles and Frowns for the first time this year. Her peers clapped and cheered. Clapped and cheered for a peer sharing. Love that. Love it.

47 years. Well, next month. When did I get old? Kids helps us forget, don’t they?

50 Cup Noodles. On average. Project Feed Forward feeds out 50 cups of kindness every day. Can’t keep up. Gotten to be bigger than I can sustain.

137 days. Left to make a difference. Never seems enough.

0. The cost of a smile.

12 points. In the grade book. Soon to be 15 when I get the latest performance scored. Not convinced that more points equals more learning.

7 days. Left to vote. Please vote.

No number. To how many times kids can retake performances in my class. Does learning ever stop?

263 words. In this post.

22 years and 43 days. Living the dream. Love my job. Even on the hard days.
