Kids Deserve It (#kidsdeserveit | #TeamKid)
Many of you have heard me talk about Todd Nesloney (@TechNinjaTodd). Recently he and another friend of mine Adam Welcome (@awelcome) have started a new blog called "Kids Deserve It": http://www.kidsdeserveit.com/

It's primary focus is about kids... determining what kids need, listening to student voice, and changing up adult behavior to serve our kids better. The most recent blog post was focused on slowing down & taking the time to be with kids... why? Because #kidsdeserveit!

Take a look at the most recent blog post and ask yourselves what are you doing to slow down, take a look around, and notice the small things we could be missing: Slow Down - Take Your Time #KidsDeserveIt
