Teachers, we talk a lot about trauma with students, but many of you may be experiencing trauma and even more so this year. Lets all have an extra dose of grace and patience with each other. And check on each other too. Sometimes an ear that will hear makes a big difference.
🚀 Today we celebrate 20 years of humans living in space, international collaboration, experiments & research to benefit humanity, stunning images captured from the @Space_Station and so much more.

If you are a teacher: you are not alone.
If you know a teacher: check in on them.
If you are a parent: consider sending a kind email/note to your child's teacher.

Admin , like your staff, you can't pour from empty cup either:
* Take breaks to breathe deep, stretch, & get out in classrooms or hallway
* stay hydrated with water
* eat healthy/ don't skip meals
* don't answer/send emails after hours
* lean on relationships for support
