Because teaching grammar isn't already confusing.

I wore mismatched earrings all day today. Does that mean I'm officially a teacher now?!

If someone can't read, we teach.

If someone can't add, we teach.

If someone can’t behave, we NEED to teach... not just punish.

Students worked with Let’s Recap to create video responses to a reading we have been doing. Students worked with a partner and overall had a huge success creating our video responses.

I was just stopped in Costco by a parent telling me that I made a huge impact on their child TWELVE years ago.
Teachers, our work matters. Our efforts make a difference. WE change the world. #teachon #whyiteach #mademyweek

The stigma around #mentalhealth needs to change - when ppl have a physical illness (Parkinson's, etc) there is compassion and support - why not for ppl with mental health? #onedchat

Teaching about plagiarism, citations, and research! Bring on tomorrow!!

Looking through lesson plans to work on, realized I had them finished last week.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

I'm comfortable giving the student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the student who only needed 1 attempt.

'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'

Thought for the day:
1. Focus on what S's are doing rather than what they aren't doing
2. Kids who frustrate us the most are the ones who need us the most
3. Believe all kids are good even when they don't believe it themselves
Be the catalyst that sparks a change..via #Culturize

In my 15 years as an educator, I’ve come to two certainties:

1. Students who seem to hate school the most need school the most.
2. Students who seem to battle you the most need YOU the most.

You know you’re an elementary teacher when you’re excited about your outfit for the 100th day of school! 👩🏽‍🏫 🍎 🎉

Part of our PD today was spent discussing mental health in the classrooms. We learned several scary statistics including that suicide is the second cause of death in Iowa. Mental health is real people, even in elementary.
