That ignited a strong desire within me to make a lasting difference in the early years of a child's life. I am eager to educate teachers on this crucial topic, empowering them to positively influence the lives of the children they teach.

As a pre-k coach, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact of trauma on the behavior of preschoolers, often exacerbated unknowingly by their teachers. It was through reading the book "What Happened to You?” By ⁦@BDPerry⁩ and ⁦@Oprah⁩ … https://t.co/a0PxqkTTyC

My 11th year of teaching is in the books and next year a new chapter will open. This may be my last year of putting on ceremonies and being in the classroom, but I know it’s not my last year having a positive impact on our future generations. #resignedfromteaching

Happy meals for our happy last day of school! I will miss this bunch tremendously. We went around and shared our favorite Kindergarten memory and almost all said their teachers because we cared for them and loved them. #wemadeit

@DHarlem Yes. 🥺 Miss you!

@DormannKate Thank you so much! We definitely have a lot of talented artists! One girl told me, “You have to decorate the back. You know dresses have designs on the back.” She was right. 😂 this is the future of designers. She made a broken mask into a dress.

So excited for our PD tomorrow on Block play @bankstreetedu Students had to work together to build a structure. It was amazing to see how well they were able to work together. @Gerald_Fitzhugh @Principal_MH

Instead of the 5 usual students who would immediately raise their hand I had half my class sitting there quietly with their finger on their nose. But more importantly two of my students who NEVER raised their hand all year did. I will certainly be reading, "Quiet Kids Count."

[Margaret Pereira @CuriousCoach_NJ]

After listening to @TheConnectedEduon the podcast Quiet and Strong, I made a small but powerful change in my class. I asked a question, waited 30 seconds, and I told them instead of the traditional way of raising their hands to touch their nose Continue to comments.
