A chain of people formed from October Books’s old stockroom, snaked along 54 doors and passed the books one by one until they got to their new home up the street https://t.co/VMaFGRarRj

@umyeahitssteph Dude I never thought I would join a sorority, and then I did and it CHANGED MY LIFE! It is not all frou frou BS, there are real women that actually want to support other women and it ROCKS! Go for it!

After finishing our district assessment, I told students they could do makeup work or work on other assignments. Many students insisted they read their books from the library instead! So glad these students enjoy reading for pleasure! #WatchUsSoar

Today’s journal prompt was “What would you change about DHSHS and what would you keep the same?” The changes were miniscual like scheduling, etc. Overall, the students wanted to keep our STAFF because of their dedication to our students! Woohoo! #WatchUsSoar

On the anniversary of #September11th we need to remember that kindness and compassion are daily practices not annual routines. #bethatgirl #kindness

This is one of the most difficult tasks as a teacher, but so worth it in the end.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

We cannot let a kid choose to fail. We must keep on them, keep working with parents, try everything, and never give up on them.

P.S. They will one day appreciate it, even if they never thank you.

My copy of “The Outsiders” will forever be one of my most treasured possessions. I connected with the story, as my students continue to do so, as well. The impact of this novel is massive and I hope it continues to change lives.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

"It is because of [S.E.] Hinton’s work that the average American teen male was revealed to be capable of as much feeling as a tortured housewife or a middle-aged alcoholic — in some cases, even more," Lena Dunham writes.

Mac Miller’s music has inspired many and he has touched many lives. This kind of event shows us that we must love and support one another, even when its difficult and out of our control. Here’s a lovely video of Elton John’s tribute to the late Mac Miller.
