Counselor in Ed. UNL alumna. At the end of the day, the only questions I will ask myself are: Did I love enough? Did I laugh enough? Did I make a difference?

Today, while mowing one of my lawns, I noticed there was some gravel in the backyard. I made sure to turn the mower off before going through that area so I wouldn’t risk throwing any rocks. As I was weed eating, I happened to notice a crack in the window of a vehicle parked in the yard. Even though I wasn’t sure where it came from, I wanted to do the right thing. I left a note for the car owner explaining that I had noticed the crack and that, if it had been caused by my mower or weed eater , I wanted to take responsibility.

Just a moment ago, she called to let me know the crack had been there before I arrived and that it wasn’t caused by me. I truly appreciated her honesty.

The lesson i want kids to know from this : always choose accountability. Even when you’re not sure, it’s better to be upfront, honest, and willing to take responsibility than to walk away wondering. Your character is defined by what you do when no one is watching.

@jenteach13 @educator4ever36 Academic reminders on walls are good for visual learners. I liked to use as many senses as possible to lock in subjects being taught. Triggering memory through senses.

[The Teacher’s Curriculum @tchrscurriculum]

Heard at a special education training:

"Can you please give me some practical ways to implement the IEP? I don't want to hear legal gibberish."

Staff development needs to be PRACTICAL. If you can't give scenario driven practicality, maybe you don't need the mic.

@jenteach13 If a teacher is not sharing or helping other teachers, they have no reason to be “teacher of the year”. All should be working for the betterment of the entire school & students.

@jenteach13 She had a method for teaching cursive. There were words to practice with letters taught previously.

Someone who shares ideas & does not desire to be the only teacher to succeed is a gem. Find them!

@jenteach13 Totally disgusting. Hopefully you can find a reliable person through networking. That is the only thing that has ever worked for me. I despise people who do not follow-through & have been ripped off. Only pay half at most up front, then see how the work goes. Not much help, sorry

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...

...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY

He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."

His name is Rishi Sharma.

He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.

He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.

He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...

...FOR FREE

So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.

Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.

He does it out of pure gratitude.

In his words:

"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."

As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:

"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."

THAT is America.

250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...

God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
