🌟 Mrs. Sutton & Mrs. Kilchriste’s classes started the day with a Social-Emotional Learning warm-up: Rose, Bud, and Thorn! 🌹🌱🌵 Students anonymously shared a rose (something good), a thorn (something tough), and a bud (something they’re looking forward to). It opened the door to powerful conversations about perspective—a reminder that everyone is carrying something you can’t always see. 💭❤️
