People are going to say bad things….about teachers…about administrators…about school boards…about schools. Don’t let it be the only story that’s told. Tell 1 person 1 story about 1 great thing happening in your school today. You’ll feel better…promise. #LeadFromWhoYouAre

@peekaboo_jen Exactly! 🙄 I’ll read the book ending and care so much more than what is happening in Season 8…disappointing for sure.

@socialstudiestx Just prepping to say goodbye to 8th graders - picnic tomorrow, school celebrations next week. We end with walking them through the school and out the door - bye bye! 😂

What have we been doing in 807 since STAAR and the DBQ? Creating a civilization based upon learning about geography and culture. Today was presenting w/ a gallery walk. Ss shared and got feedback from their peers.
