@CheriseRohr I believe all gate keepers should reflect on what their gate is connected to (Earth? Stone? Etc.); Why the gate needs to be guarded; Why they feel responsible for keeping the gate.
We've already had 6 major mass shootings on Greg Abbott's watch as gun violence has become the leading cause of death for children and teens across Texas.
We don't need another four years of his deadly inaction.
We're voting him out and keeping our kids safe.
Loved working with Lawrence HS teacher the last two Fridays! Keep up the solid work of the people, Lancers! #Springboard2022#PreAP@DougSBoard Nevermind the Mirrors, that was some amazing Differentiated Instruction PD!
@robdelaney This is just a knife in my stomach. I was born in WA, and live in TX, and I just feel like in TX I’m hanging with the gum on the bottom of a shoe while those in WA are the phat laces of that shoe called America.
@__itsniaj Years 5-8 are critical for finding your space and the population of parents and students you work best with. Administration and co-workers will move all around you, but the community remains. That’s where you have to fit.
@AcademiaBonham@SAISD @SAISD_Supt @OliviaHdzC @WeGoPublic @JoseMedinaJr89@SAISDFineArts Can’t wait for this kid to be a middle schooler!!! Love his pride in hitting the tough progressions and I can’t wait to have some of that music in the hallways on the daily.
@pennykittle Yesterday, a student on campus for the first time all year (for STAAR) asked, “Do we have a library?” We had to take a trip down memory lane. She said, “That should just be turned into a classroom.” I guess I should be proud of my classroom library, but it was a reality check.
@MartinOdimaJr I was fortunate to have a Kindergarten co-teacher, a 1st grade co-teacher and my 2nd grade teacher all be African-American. Their influence is still felt.
