One of my kids told me his birthday is next week and I said, “I thought your birthday was at the end of April.” He’s like, “Ya my my mom moved it.” Oh

So self care is important, I’m not disputing that. But all of this PD on self care is kind of like being punched in the face and then being told it would stop hurting if you just put ice on it. Maybe you could just stop punching us in the face??? Just a thought

My student with autism has been working on doing everyday tasks independently. Today, he opened up his fruit roll up all by himself and said, “I am good.” He was so proud! ❤️

Really disappointed in @DMRegister and disgusted with @Philip_Joens for writing the article about @jaylencavil being unqualified. We were taught at a young age if we don’t believe in the system, change it. Jaylen is trying to make a change for our future, and he

@iHeartRadio @Harry_Styles I’m a special education teacher. I used to play in a band in college. I love Harry’s music and he inspires me to still create in my free time! I would CRY if I got to see him live! #iHeartJingleBall #iheartharrystyles

@CathyHines66 Oh I know I’m not. Check out the post a reposted on Facebook as well. I love this job. But if my bucket is empty I have nothing to give. Teachers need funding and support to help kids and right now that’s not happening

Graphic novels are an excellent tool to engage struggling readers! I gave the student I tutor a G.N. Called Rollergirl, and her guardian texted me she’d been reading it all night! @Emily4Hayden #CI554F17
