It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.” -Leo F. Buscaglia

*After he told me I reminded him of Hancock and I realized the impact I had on him, I wrote his full name on a piece of paper and practiced saying it every day so I could say it correctly when I called his name during the 5th-grade graduation ceremony.
Parts of our FaceBook messaging since 2009
“Hey Mr. Stuart, it’s me, Abder (Abderrahmane Echchalhi) lol. How r u doin? I miss u because u always pushed me to higher limits. Plz write back as soon as u can. Ty, bye.
I’m really hating the 6th grade right now because all our teachers are getting crazy about the FCAT and their giving us so much homework each nite. I really miss the way that YOU teach!!!!!!!!!!! How’s ur life going on with ur students? I’m sure their growth is powerful!”
Ur a good man Abder. It's not as much fun 4 me this year becuz I don't have just one group of students to work with. It's more like middle school where I only have @hour with each group.
I know u'll pull thru and do well. I miss having u in class.
“Hey Mr. Stuart, don’t think I forgot you! Dream big, be big, do big ~ livin by that motto. Happy bday!
I hope you know you've had a great impact on my life.
I still remember when you lifted me up and put me against the white board joking around. lol good times good times.
And how we had to finish our homework so we can play 4 square (WHICH I LOVED)
Dream big, do big , be big will forever be engraved in my heart thanks to you and breaking away from the school’s curriculum.
Also, you told me once , "If someone says you have a lot of potential don't take it as a compliment (because it means you aren’t using your potential)! Haha! 5th grade with you was the memory I get even in high school, and how much you loved Bella which if I do recall correctly is your daughter!
Just to let you know I'm majoring in sports science now, still have that super long name (Abderrahmane Echchalhi), also going to minor in psychology and my brother Mohamed is doing great, got a manager job at Holiday Inn!
Even though I was so young your class and your name are all I remember when thinking about elementary school.”

KICKSTARTING OUR HEARTS ~ Thought 4 ~ Relentlessly Overcoming Reckless Terrorism
KICK STARTING OUR HEARTS ~ Thought 4 ~ Relentlessly Overcoming Reckless Terrorism
Knowledge isn’t power. The relentless pursuit and correct use of it is.
We “know” something has to be done. And we “know” it has to be done now.
We also know that from 10,000 years of civilized history we can kill the killers without stopping the desire to kill.
And we know we have proven answers from some very powerful people like Gandhi.
To achieve this “real peace” it takes a huge amount of super-human strength and intelligence, things teachers are naturally built for.
We couldn’t be teachers if we didn’t love who and why we teach with super-human love.
And we are perfectly situated to becoming super-smart every day as we become more intelligent about our students and how to teach them.
We are in a perpetual state of education.
We remember this, and become relentless in the pursuit of this, and we reach real world peace with every student we teach.
A beautiful theory that CAN BECOME an unbreakable everyday REALITY when we stop worrying and whining about what’s broken and focus instead on preventing our children from becoming broken by it, relentlessly.
Our hearts never stop.

Mötley Crüe - Kickstart My Heart
KICK START OUR HEARTS ~ STOPPING TERRORISM THOUGHT 1 ~ RISK
The heart engines are already revving by teachers all across the world to kick start their students’ hearts and education in the fall.
We’re gong to spend the next 2 months kicking our butts and our brains to think of lessons that will kick our students’ hearts forever and help them live safer and higher than ever.
And our classrooms is where it all begins for them. It’s their Dream Big, Do Big, Become Big day-and-night club that’s exciting and explosive and where they come out happier and smarter than when they came in.
From the first beat of the first lesson using life’s greatest thinkers our students will hear these lyrics of higher-level thinking that leads them to higher-level learning and living.
They will hear this music in their heads and feel it pound in their hearts this year and forever because it will be played every day until it becomes part of them. Aristotle will smile as he watches them learn to kick their own excuses, or “buts”, and evolve into real-world problem solvers that find long-term solutions to a current world of hate-filled terrorism and child abuse.
No whining out of them. No whining out of us. We kick start this “impossible” change in the world by making it probable in our classrooms. We kick our own teacher excuses and “buts” as we hear it pound in our heads and feel it fill our hearts, flow into our spirits and sing out of our souls.
We risk believing in this. We risk feeling all this. We risk crashing and hurting as we do this. We risk getting up again and getting knocked down again.
We succeed because we risk failing. We risk to make school become this. For our children to become this. For our world to become this.

We Light Up The World ~ Child Empowerment Month
The world CAN be a BIG, BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL place, but we have to all MAKE IT that way. We have to fight for it, want it, and be willing to love it and love it and love it into existence.
Terrorism is trying to destroy the world by lighting it up in destructive chemical explosions.
We can CHOOSE to light up the world in our subatomic explosions of confidence, appreciation, gratitude, and unlimited belief in ourselves and each other.
I am already exploding at this level and I haven't even hit the gym yet. After 1,000 pushups, pullups, situps and miles of swimming, running, and rowing, I will have become so #SandLakeElementary Stingray Strong and #CypressParkElementary Mustang Hard that I will be able to explode my new subatomic strength and stamina upon all my current and former students over and over UNTIL they begin to subatomically explode at their own levels of greatness.
This is not #ChildAbuseMonth. This is CHILD EMPOWERMENT MONTH!

Facing the Monsters of Terrorism
TERRORISM ~ FACING THE MONSTERS
"You can choose teaching that, yes, there are monsters, and it's OK to be afraid of them. But it's not OK to let them win. And it's not OK to be one." ~ Criminal Minds ......
Since Paris and now Brussels there have been 13 terrorist attacks and over 450 innocent deaths, for some kids that doesn't include the murders happening on their own streets as these kids had to deal with in December..........
Let's face it, there ARE monsters and there will only be more as more of us become afraid to out think them and more of us feel hopeless, unloved, and unappreciated as children and join the monsters as adults........
.So let's do it ~ We feel STRONG for ourselves and our children not sorry. ......
We go out and take back and make safe our streets for us to get to school and work and into environments of UNLIMITED LEARNING & LOVING........
and we all leave at the end of the day too INTELLIGENT, too CONFIDENT, too LOVED, and too STRONG to ever cower in fear of or crawl into recruitment of the monsters we have made smaller that day....
As we get bigger, our monsters get smaller, and we do have monsters, so we must get bigger, and we are!.....
I think the future looks great because I am willing to fight greatly for it to be that way.

Time to Turn Heaven into Valhalla
Marcis and others have already grown one year in 3 quarters, but still need to grow 1-2 more years in the last quarter.....How in the heaven are we going to pull this off? I'm already tired of just thinking about it and I'm sure they are too......Everyone in the class has desire.........Now it's time to turn it up and set that desire on fire....Make it explode.......This is the only way we're going to pull this off....And I think I'm going to use this video at the beginning of each day as the lighter......Make them feel it. Make them believe it. Make them ignite it. Make them collide it deep within their molecular cells like the Sun collides its molecular elements to produce unbelievable light and heat......Thank you former student Raian Natsheh for reminding me of how we played this in our 5th-grade class and what it did for you.....On March 28th we're going to turn Heaven into Valhalla

Try it Out and Learn to Wipe it Out!
We're not just going to try it out.
Today we're going to WIPE IT OUT!
Today I'm going to tell my students that I want to erase our learning goals off the board. That can only happen if 100% of us achieve the learning goal, which is only knowledge and ability, not the highest levels of self-evaluation and creativity. What's on the board is the box. We accomplish that and we jump out of the box and off the board and into a world of creativity.
