We are currently leaving about Enslavement in America and this book gave me another child friendly way to share some of the darkest moments in the history of black people. @nhannahjones thank you for such a beautiful, thoughtful book. My students and I enjoyed it.

I feel June tired. It’s just November. This first quarter had been exhausting.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

This!

*clears throat* independent reading and read alouds don’t need quizzes and assignments attached. Not everything has to be an assessment. I am tired of the idea that we must take the joy out of everything. 😑 Yes I am using the AR face.

Miss Nelson is Missing!! Students used describing words to identify Miss. Nelson and Miss Swamp. Miss. Nelson is “sweet” and “kind” while Miss. Swamp is “strict”, “mean”, “unpleasant” and a “witch”.

Starting our morning with a mix of community building and math! We talked about our favorite colors and tallied them. Then counted by 5s and 1s to get the totals!

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

@mrbgilson This!!! I’ve been back for 2 weeks- no kids and I’m already feeling some sense of burn out. I didn’t leave my building until 8pm last night and I have to find my way there at some point this weekend before welcoming kids on Monday. It’s too much.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

@JustLB 👋🏾👋🏾 I used to be departmentalized and so many of my kids hated reading. No joy, for books, could be found and the faces I got when I ask “what books do you read for pleasure?” SHM! 😩🥴

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

It’s enough of them to do just that! They should have honored his wishes and named who he wanted as his successor.

tbh I am also fine with Jeopardy ending and just playing reruns with Alex for the next hundred years.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

This resonates with me as I’ve brought a mountain of work home. 😒😔 there’s got to be a better way.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

Optimism is proving to be hard when there are so many unknowns.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

I shouldn’t feel this way on the second day of my return into the building. 😔

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

The Sunday Scaries are real and they have a chokehold on me. All I keep thinking about is what will happen if I get sick?? Im definitely not ready for that reality.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

@heymrsbond Today I’ve turned on alarms, cleaned out work bags and organizing clothes and real shoes.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

I just….. what?!? The bar is really in hell. Never mind actual gun reform.

[Emily • she/her @booksfightback]

Yesterday at active shooter training, we were told that if there was a shooting at our school, we could use our masks from the pandemic to stuff the bullet wounds of the children.

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

@mrbgilson Congratulations on the A’s!

[Mrs.Montgomery @MrsMontgomery85]

@mrbgilson Yes! I know I didn’t get my full 90oz I typically drink… I hate to say it- I do better during the SY. My schedule is a bit more predictable. I’ll be cooking today… right after I get a protein drink in.

We can't have unrealistic expectations for educators and then gaslight them by saying that they need to practice self-care.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
