Hi Rick;
Nice site.
I don’t surf much but it’s very easy to use, just like your book. Congrats.
Thank you.
OK, so I am JUST beginning to wrap my head around the fact that we won’t be seeing your smiling face around campus everyday, it hit home tonight when Dane and I sang a special song together, and I told him we needed a bass player….:) I decided to log on to your website, it’s great! I will be getting “my words from Rick” fix here often! I look forward to it, and to all your success!
cheers, susan
Hi Rick!
Great blog!
I would love your thoughts on parents playing a role in helping their child with emergent reading. I would love to read about your challenges in the younger grades at your school.
Hope to read more thoughts from you on Twitter!
More, indeed on the horizon as we move more thoroughly into virtual community.
Hi Rick,
Thanks for sending me this link. I’ve scheduled your terrific article on empathy for my http://www.ParentingSkillsBlog.com on January 5nd at 9:10 AM PST.
Your title is: Character Tip: Expand Kids’ Potential Goodness with One Simple Rule
Please go to my blog on that date and write a comment then send it to all your social media sites. I will do the same.
Together let’s get your excellent help to parents everywhere!
PS I’ll be tweeting your amazon book this week too!
Warmly,
Jean Tracy, MSS
Rick,
Willowwind School, a progressive PK-6th grade school in Iowa City, is celebrating its 40th Anniversary this year. We love your work and wanted to inquire about your speaking availability at a 40th Anniversary Lecture for the school and larger Iowa City community. If you would be interested, I would like to look toward dates in May or October.
Thank you!
Carly Andrews
