English Teacher. Always learning. Always growing. Usually tired.

Not to get political, but today’s a reminder that the perfect candidate’s been here all along: bipartisan, diplomatic, lucrative, able to connect people across the socio-economic spectrum, and a noble mission to “wake up!” the nation. #Coffee for president! #NationalCoffeeDay

Texans! Are you looking for warmth during the storm? or do you want to give help to other Texans?

Here's my guide for @TexasTribune on organizations providing resources — and what you can do to help!

Shared in celebrating some positive data from our incredible #SWHSELA reading teachers today. They’re moving mountains, facing head on the tasks others easily deem “impossible,” and I’m so proud and grateful to work with such tenacious, persevering humans. @wadswora @IrvinRuthie

The NAEP results released today show lower average reading scores overall, with notable decreases in grade 8 reading in 31 states and across almost all racial/ethnic groups compared to 2017. https://t.co/WrPRdvASES #NAEP 1/10

@Ms_Moore_ELA coming in with the multi-layered support: there to support the team and also there to help support me so I could support the team. #allmeansall

#Homecoming2019 was a family affair last night. So proud of our #Tigers!

Mental Health First Aid training, referred to as “CPR for the mind,” teaches educators and caretakers how to recognize, understand and respond to signs of psychological distress. @dr_fraga @MHFirstAidUSA #WorldMentalHealthDay https://t.co/1Nmw0syMDw

Can’t wait to incorporate this into our upcoming memoir and narrative unit!

[Mrs. A @MrsAdamsEnglish]

Listening to #MothRadioHour is something I look forward to weekly. It always has me thinking of my students. Some have incredible stories to tell, but for any of them to be able to own their narratives and connect to others would be such a powerful, invaluable tool in life.

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Anxious at first about their ability to perform, students came to embrace @TheMoth experience. “They were glowing at the end, with the feeling that they could get up in front of an audience and do something this big.” https://t.co/Z9nOs2yZ1c

Tigers, we want to see you at the HOCO Game! Friday, 7pm! Let's bring the AMBUSH! #ALLMEANSALL #HOCO2019 #BeattheRaiders

[Mrs. A @MrsAdamsEnglish]

On Fridays we go goth.

Sophomores celebrating (or maybe mourning?) the end of our #gothic unit in #room115.

Now on to something a little lighter...

just kidding we’re starting The Crucible with my juniors 😂

[Mrs. A @MrsAdamsEnglish]

Something I need to make sure I’m doing a better job of practicing daily. I would absolutely not be able to do my job without them.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

School custodians need more appreciation. We don't thank them enough for a job well done, but we certainly notice when there is a problem. Let's do better!

@SWLibrarian17 @SWLibrarian17 your librarian heart and my teacher heart!

It fills me with so much joy to see students reminiscing over previous reads and getting excited to find something new. Thanks for giving me the tools to promote #choice for students.

[Mrs. A @MrsAdamsEnglish]

Way to rise to the occasion and #bebetter than me and what I had to offer this week, guys. A #happyteacher moment for sure.

[Mrs. A @MrsAdamsEnglish]

When it’s been a heck of a week and you’ve been off your game and expect that to have a negative impact on your students (understandably so) and you’re not sure if they’ll be able to deliver, BUT THEN you look through your tray and see these incredible one pagers! #room115
