The middle school builders are working on creating their own board games! They’re almost ready for a test run. This is going to be fun 😁

The 3rd-5th grade builders had a mini figure swap challenge. Each member created a special mini figure, drew names to trade, and then split into groups to build a special scene matching the personality of their figure. Lots of creativity and teamwork! Great job!

It’s so, so damaging to look at the outcome and decide that the person just didn’t make enough effort.

Many of us are absolutely working ourselves into the ground just to get by. Our effort is enormous, and it always is. It always has been, even if others don’t recognise it.

Some days we try as hard as we can and get nowhere. Many days we spend more effort that we actually have available to give.

Some days we try our hardest and all we can do is exist.

Keep this in mind when you have a neurodivergent child who is unable to meet expectations.

This was shared by author Alexandra Penfold on Twitter along with the following message...

“This weekend I sorted through some papers my mom saved from my childhood. The top one is my 4th grade self evaluation. The bottom, my 4th grade state test score. Random House published my 6th book last week. ”

I understand the purpose of state tests, but they should NEVER be used to predict or define a person's capabilities or how much they can achieve in life.

If my SAT scores reflected my capabilities, I wouldn't be where I am today. (I do NOT do well on multiple choice exams. And that is most certainly not a reflection of my capabilities. )

This image is such a powerful reminder that we are more than what others think of us... and we are far more than what standardized testing tells us we are capable of.
