Joy in the Small Moments
I recently shared a post with my school community about taking time each day/each week to find joy in the small moments that are scattered throughout our lives. Despite the disruption, confusion and upset all around us during this COVID-19 Pandemic, there is joy to be found in the small moments. These nuggets of joy…

‘Small Moments’
As we approach the beginning of the new school year it got me thinking about ‘small moments’. Our Writer’s Workshop training has focused us all at BMS on how a story can be created from just a simple ‘small moment’. So much of preparing for the welcoming back to school of our students, teachers and…
