School’s Out, But the Learning Continues
During my morning walk, I caught myself reminiscing about being in the school building with students and missing everything about it.

Sad for my son who doesn’t get to play soccer this spring. And sad for both of my kids whose birthdays will be spent in quarantine.

Intentionally Learning to Embrace the Moment
Last week, our two daughters and I were sitting at the kitchen table—all of us working on schoolwork. At one point our middle daughter said, “I have ‘eighth-graditis’.'' I looked at her and said, “There is no such thing.” Then our senior daughter chimed in, “I really...
