I am at Open House, and heard that my 8th grade son told his teacher/class that I am always tired and he doesn't know why😂 I have 5 kids at 3 schools, teach full time, a husband who travels, and I am training for a marathon. Why would I be tired? 😂

Overheard, a senior student talking in Spanish to a brand new newcomer: "4 years ago, I was you. I was from Huehue, I was new. I didn't know how to use a computer. I didn't speak English. And look at me now! I was you and now I am graduating! You can do it! I did." ❤🇬🇹🥰👏🏆

I’m so excited to start the school year with 12 newcomers in our ESL for beginners’ course 🙌🏽

It’s going to be a GREAT year, friends! #BTTFspiders 🕷💛

A quote shared with me during training today was “don’t wait until you are on fire to say that you are burning.” There is so much support to get us through when we are overwhelmed. Asking for help signifies strength not weakness. #firstyearteacher #workingineducation #eslteacher

What’s the best advice you were given as a new teacher? #newteacher #firstyearteacher #firstyearofteaching

[Erika Smith @EriTeaches]

I’m salty because I care about my students! I want to heal them through the lens of education and set them up for long term success. And teach them that it’s not about where you com from, but what you make from it. #NNPSLiteracyForAll
