I need a nap after having to write so many grammar citations. Teaching in this #distancelearning model is far more difficult than it should be. #substituteteacherlife

Survey: If the class you are long term subbing in wants students to choice read 15 minutes daily, does reading menu orders as a prep cook count? Serious replies only as this is a genuine student question I got this morning. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #substituteteacherlife #distancelearning

Anybody else trying to figure out how to give that disapproving substitute teacher look in a distance learning environment, or is it just me? #substituteteacherlife #COVID19 #maybeishouldtakesomeemojiselfiestopostasneeded

@JMac41818177 I obsess over various things using Pinterest. My latest obsession is gathering ideas to create an outdoor annex to our garage tiki lounge. Now I want a mai tai. Thanks.

@HSTeachProbs My coworker tried to get away with doing 45 minutes of work using a 20 minute timer, and now they are staring at my Twitter feed because it’s the closest thing to screen time he’ll have for a few days. Creeper.

Feels a little odd walking into a classroom and seeing these on a table next to the classroom library. #authorlife #substituteteacherlife #deadlyrhymestrilogy

Subbing in a class with former students sometimes means they bring chocolate cake because they love me. #substituteteacherlife #mmmchocolate #letthemeatcake

Ending your essay with "in conclusion"
- bland
- overused
- predictable

Ending your essay with "and them's the facts"
- compelling
- unexpected
- confirms that those are indeed the facts

Some of my students made it weird before class started today. #awkward #teacherlife

Love. These. Kids.

"When you're experiencing a setback, asking kids for advice can ""normalize struggle for our kids and show them everybody has setbacks, everybody faces adversity."
How do you show your students it's okay to struggle sometimes? https://t.co/PSzhth3m0H

Had a student make it better. Nobody has claimed it yet. #studentteacherlife #prairiedise #beyonce

[Cory Blystone @Mr_Blystone]

Hopefully this helps them remember to fill in their name on assignments. #studentteacherlife #Beyonce #itevengotfullpoints

"A growing body of research in education suggests that students’ curiosity can be stimulated in ways that strengthen their connectedness to lessons, interactions with each other, and willingness to commit to learning goals." (via @edutopia) https://t.co/pROBcFBUBw
