April 14 Update

 Happy Friday, McKinley!

Gap-vs- Gain Thinking:
I recently came across this article that helped reframe my thinking.  I HIGHLY recommend you take the 2 minutes to read it.  The article centers around your thinking - are you a gap thinker (comparing to others) or a gain thinker (looking at growth).   We can often get ourselves caught up in that gap thinking -  "we are no where near the benchmark" or "these behaviors are out of control".  I challenge you to switch that thinking to a gain thinking, instead.  Take the few minutes to read. 

Eid - Next Week:
Happy Eid to our friends who are finishing Ramadan and celebrating Eid!  Many of our learners may be gone from school on Thursday, April 20 & Friday, April 21 to celebrate Eid.  Please be aware of this as you are planning events for next week.   

Happy Eid!     

Have a great weekend!
-Justin
