Dear Teacher,
Your kids missed you. Not your classroom. Not your content. They missed you.
You did that.
No easy thing to be what kids need. But it’s less-hard when all they need is you (to be you).
Let that be the lift you need tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Not-So-Secret Admirer
Learning a LOT of empathy for students for whom a fast-paced classroom is a challenge. Reading is NOT natural or easy until you learn it, which HAS to be a part of explicit instruction! #saturdayPD#LETRStraining
Today, my S was excited about the fact that I had posted read aloud videos for every chapter of the book we are reading. She made my whole day! @TDpscd
Monday morning shoutout to my Homeroom for making virtual teaching easy this morning! Students were engaged, giving feedback, and answering questions! @TDpscd
Immediate thought when thinking about the impact of covid on education, the lack of educators, and the response to the teacher shortage:
"Temporary decisions create longterm consequences."
Leadership looks like getting in front of a class to guest teach so your educators can focus on what they need to do. @TDpscd @and_now_adaeh, today I got to think about the PRACTICE of teaching - THANK YOU. 💛💙
Today, we read about “Papaya Tree” in “Inside Out and Back Again”, so, we had to taste some papaya! Learning is SO much more than worksheets!! #itsathirkellthing @TDpscd
