@_RachelTerry_ Used a simplified version of diagramming as a visual to help Ss with complete sentences and fragments. End goal - correctly punctuate. Cut sentences into individual words and had a variety of punctuation marks so Ss could manipulate. Used as warm ups.
@Eduventuring04 Hypothetically, I was the one who was on the taking end of this imaginary situation. It was not malicious - I was overwhelmed. I didn’t know that teacher was upset about using her work - til she reported me and it turned into a dramatic meeting filled with more admin than was +
@OBrienSci I just sent this to a friend: I'm REALLY struggling with not wanting to do any school work tonight. I should, but I don't need to - it will all be there in the morning. But if I get ahead, that would be nice, too. So I'm playing a game. Which is adding stress. 🤷♀️ Sigh.
I wish that every few weeks we could reverse the Period 1-8 schedule so that we can experience our afternoon kids in the morning
What would Period 8 look like if I had them during Pd 1?
Equal access to studying all subjects feeling more fresh in the morning - ?

@JayWamsted Me watching a middle school student skip-gallop down the hall. Me: “Whatcha doing, Buddy?” S: Seeing what it feels like to be a horse.” Me: Huh.
@ToriGlass I’m going to be a prayer warrior during my quiet time in my prayer closet and lay it at the foot of the cross and then get sweet sleep after.
@DrLauraGrimes I 100% support parents doing this to combat the DeSantis ridiculousness. AND I also feel bad for the teachers who will have to come up with an alternate because DeSantis and his minions sure as hell don’t care how this burdens them.
@chipgaines I need three more things to clear my list. I would be SO grateful! Just made the move to high school - new building, new classroom, new grade level!

@laurchas22 I dunno. Maybe he could throw open his arms to the late comers and say, “I’m so glad you’re here!” and wave his hand to the early leavers and say, “It was great to see you!” 🤷♀️
@georgie_grier Our hearts want the full house. But I like to think that the exact people who needed to be there were. Maybe they just needed the power of you and your performance in the solace of solitude.
On this day in 1920, Henrietta Lacks was born.
Her cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951 (HeLa cells) and became one of the most important tools in medicine. They became vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning, gene mapping, vitro fertilization & more

I am in some teachers groups on Facebook and the amount of work and love and care that these teachers put into their classrooms is humbling and beautiful. There are no words for the type of person that reduces your average public school teacher to a groomer., (Spread the word.)
