Folx at my @District6NYCDOE school are receiving their COVID testing results today. From last Thursday. Is this the #safeschools that y’all are talking about? Oh also here’s the temp in my classroom today 🙃 #notuntilitssafe

[ash @ashliemichelle]

@ProfesoraEspana @Dra_LuzYadira Both of y’all are my heroes. I’m sitting here remembering the why. Remembering that our classrooms are sacred, are whole. That our students’ voices are primary sources. That their experiences are our first texts. I’m just so grateful for your work. Thank you. Thank you.

I’m #teachertired but @ProfesoraEspana ‘s new book is giving me LIFE. I am seriously grateful to her for this work of art & labor of love. Also one time she watched me present at a conference and I will never forget her thoughtful questions and ideas. You inspire me Profa!

These times, in many ways, are déjà vu for me. And perhaps for anyone who taught post-Hurricane Katrina. In this debut article, I offer schools and teachers some lessons from crisis: trauma-responsive teaching tools for the work ahead - ASCD Inservice. 💞 https://t.co/xdm4uwUZMV

I’ve never felt more #unionproud than when I arrived at this meeting after a long day and there were snacks. Thanks #UFT 😘

Partner @JJRodV turned in second comp exam yesterday. Very proud. Today I find him with a concerned + focused look on his face, I’m thinking he’s still worrying about exam. “I’m trying to figure out which soup I am,” he says. #phdlife #phdwife

@JJRodV Also your wife appreciates it. ^^

It does not matter what school you’ve been accepted to. It does not matter what meds you’re on. It does not matter what anyone thinks you might have in your pockets. It does not matter what you did or didn’t smoke. YOU DO NOT EVER DESERVE TO DIE. #BlackLivesMatter

So, how do you attend #AERA conference without breaking the bank?

[ash @ashliemichelle]

@TatyanaKleyn Haha yes very sure! I’d rather people check out the website! I have a feeling I won’t last long here. :)

[ash @ashliemichelle]

So @TatyanaKleyn convinced me and I’m back on Twitter after a brief 2.5 year hiatus. What did I miss?

[ash @ashliemichelle]

@TatyanaKleyn It’s ok I’m real bad at the social medias. Also just found out you can’t edit a tweet so, yeah, bye.

[ash @ashliemichelle]

@JJRodV si se puede!! Ósea, podemos. Todo posible con jack y .5 pens, mi amor!

between teaching and dog walking I have chosen the two best careers. 😌
