As a news reporter, I always do my research before I break a story. I am confident to report that you are so special and amazing!

@MrsDurner @CapNCet I’m so glad you got a picture of the display case! I didn’t think to take one

[Sandy Jameson @JamesonAPLang]

Yup.

My fav part of Spotify Wrapped is seeing how many ways they can write musical theatre on my genres page

A very heartwarming homecoming for the Smith family-“There’s no place like home”.❤️#goodbetterButz

It’s been implied (I want to believe), but for the first time in my 28 years, I heard the words today from an administrator.

“I trust you.”

I was surprised how much it mattered. Haven’t quit thinking about it.

Wonder if this is how my kids feel when I say,

“I trust you.”

[Monte Syrie @MonteSyrie]

Pssst.

Take it all a little less seriously.

It seems to make a difference.

Of course, that includes taking yourself a little less seriously, too.

🙂

And maybe some of us are drawn to being teachers so we can keep it? 🤔😂

FYI to high achievers/straight A-ers/gifted and talented-ers, my therapist says a lot of us get existential this time of year because our whole lives revolved around school and our bodies don't know what to do without it.

2nd block is my most productive prep!

[Emily 🍎🌟 @EDUwithEmily]

I love having a prep/planning period that’s first thing in the morning or one that’s attached to my lunch.

When do you prefer to have a planning period?

A Supportive & Positive School Culture is the bedrock of effective education. It means teachers feel valued, respected, and heard. It's an environment where collaboration thrives, ideas flourish, and students excel.

Inside me are two wolves: one who wants to buy books purely for the dopamine rush, and one who wants to buy books to read, and unfortunately they're both authorized to use my credit card

[Monte Syrie @MonteSyrie]

Once upon a classroom, I made them comply.

And I was good at it.

But.

It never quite felt right.

So, I learned (am still learning) to let them commit.

And.

It feels better.

There, in the space between.

Where kids have some room to grow.

Mine.

A room to grow.

Pictures from #aplang Day One hexagonal introduction activity!

[Sandy Jameson @JamesonAPLang]

@MrsBabbitt At least one did!! Said that way the cereal floats on top and doesn’t get soggy 🤷🏻‍♀️ most of the discussion was about when to insert the spoon though…. 😂😂

[Sandy Jameson @JamesonAPLang]

Ok here’s a bunch of hexagons ready to go tomorrow morning!!!

[Sandy Jameson @JamesonAPLang]

I’ve never done a Hexagonal Thinking lesson before…. But I’m considering this as a day one activity in AP Lang:

Have them write 6 word memoirs on a hexagon and then have them work together to discuss how to connect their hexagons together in meaningful ways… thoughts?

[Sandy Jameson @JamesonAPLang]

@MrsBabbitt Pretty well! Actually didn’t take as long as I anticipated, so it was✨improv time✨

we somehow did manage to find ourselves in a heated discussion about what order to add ingredients when making a bowl of cereal? 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

[Sandy Jameson @JamesonAPLang]

@mrsklinkreads How are you having them discover their strengths? Do you use an evaluation tool?
