Shout out to the various @slpsofcolor who have provided so much counseling and encouraging words while I work to get my Kindergartener the #Speech & #Languange therapies he deserves ๐
@goodreads I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings & Bullwhip Days saved my life in 8th grade. Both were so powerful and impactful. Maya Angelou became my literary mentor.
@heymrsbond Biggest struggle this year. My 5 yo is smart but has a speech & lang delay. His delays are holding him back from reaching full reading & spelling potential. He feels it. He knows it. He now shrinks up & I wish there was more fun in Kinder standards. Wish he could get support
Best part of moving from #classroom teacher to #academic coach is flexibility and the use of my intellect to problem solve. Now when I see babies reading/solving mathematical equations 2 grade levels behind I am the Coach to secure their intensive interventions ๐ซถ๐ฟ๐ #edutwitter
Last Thursday marked my first month at my new job. It's wildly different but today was the first day I did my fist pump of excellence for getting the thing done and yesterday was the first day I pulled out "I got you covered like a quilt" to a fellow Academic Coach.๐ #edutwitter
1 thing I did as a teacher is walk around and make sure to say something affirming to my Ss. Especially if they had a new look or style. I also made sure to say it to the quiet Ss who lacked big friend groups. #teacherandstudent#teachersoftwitter
@heymrsbond @MrsJacquetBHS The anxiety is so real. Not because I don't know what I'm doing but because my anxiety will flair up when it's unannounced. The anxiety makes it even worse.
@bylaylanoor Slow burn romances really make me so angry ๐. If I get to 30% and y'all haven't even decided you at least like ea other I know I'm wasting my time ๐คญ. Best slow burn romance I've read in the past 2 years was Still Beating and I finally got the appeal.
Teacher tired isn't just about all the decisions made each day or trying to engage and teach a classroom full of students, which is a lot, but it is also the energy, love, & care that they put into helping all those students become their best self. Thank You Teachers!
