My girls got mail over the weekend from my principal and vice principal. π Being a teacher is HARD. Being a mom is HARD. Being a single teacher mom is HARRRRRRRRRD. This made my day. For all teacher moms, this is for you too. You are seen. You are appreciated. Keep going. β€οΈ
Too many popular strategies for teaching reading arenβt actually supported by research. We sifted through to find the ones that are most effective! π
Orchard Elementary K teachers visit every students home before school starts and provide them with Home Learning Kits - This has come in very handy for COVID Ed. Love our teachers, they always go above and beyond for their students. #homeschoolengagement
We teach students about boundaries, but few boundaries are given to teachers.Teachers canβt be expected to be available 24/7 for meetings, calls, emails etc. even if theyβre teaching remotely. This type of expectations shows a lack of concern for their mental & emotional health.
Having kids in person right now is really hard....and so darn worth it. Mask up and keep rolling!!! Donβt believe me? Watch a kindergarten student run into the building in the morning smiling under a tiny mask ππ
Dear Educators,
Never take things personally when it comes to your students behavior. It is rarely about you and more about what they are going through.
Remembering this has helped me so much.
#TeacherFriends Please join me in thanking @toughteachertlk for their leadership tonight.
Any final thoughts, suggestion or inspiration to leave with us?
Thanks @MisterCompas@ChoateNotes
