@heymrsbond 9/10 times if you're working on multiple projects at a time THAT'S what you're doing with your workday. These kids are expected to "go to work" for 8 hours, then go to their afterschool activities, then come home and work on their multiple projects with time they don't have.
@wassupwhit Hi there! I am a teacher in Detroit and we just started reading The Hate U Give in my 9th grade class, I was wondering if you have any tips/lesson resources that worked well for you/your students?
My students were in breakout rooms today talking about expectations they can have for me as their teacher, when I popped in one I heard "I can't think of any, she's already so kind to us." Then when I ended for the day, they yelled "bye we love you!" #heartisfull#5thgrade
@ChristieNold Got highlights yesterday and have gotten "Ooo Ms. Luscri, your hair looks so cute!"
"Um Ms. Luscri your hair is red.." said with genuine concern and
the always classic "Why?"
I lost my sharpie today and normally I'd grab a new one but see the thing is I just realized it was the color I used to cross out the days on my calendar for this month and now I'm incredibly upset #disappearedoffmydesk#why
@TheWeirdTeacher@ELP2014 I've started to say "thumbs up if you've got this, thumbs in the middle if you need me to explain it differently and thumbs down if you would like Ms. Luscri to come help you." This places part of the responsibility on my teaching versus their abilities, and it's worked so far
I think for thanksgiving this year I'm just going to wear a badge that says "I'm struggling but I'm trying" for everyone who asks me how teaching is going😅🙃 #firstyearteachers#takingitdaybyday
Everybody told me I have to be strict from the start and not be nice but that's not my style that's not who I am as a person. Any ideas on how to balance who I am while continuing to maintain control of my classroom? #firstyearteacher#overwhelmed
@ann_dibella @rbharder I was like your daughter, then life got busy. I was stressed, trying to find myself and I didn't have time to read. Fast forward to now, I finished school and went right back to the girl doing anything to read. She won't lose the love, just might put it on the shelf for a little.
Overheard a teacher telling students that if they still had their bathroom pass to bring it up and he'd give them their extra credit. Now I'm thinking about bathroom policies and how strange it is to reward students for controlling their bodily functions? #whatareyourthoughts
@matt_marv The amount of times I hear the phrase "They just don't care." or "They're only worried about themselves." is concerning. I always wonder, are we giving them the opportunities to show us they do care or just saying they can't and moving on?
