Receiving this today, specially today(He knows my thoughts) is a sign to remind strong and keep pushing despite the obstacles teachers are enduring this year. 😭😇 #ETLMEA@PISDMathematics#pisdmathchat
I was told, “I’m so happy for you. If you don’t like what you do, do what’s best for you!”, after a staff member found out I had resigned to my teaching position after 10 years. I couldn’t believe what I heard!! How could this person say that without knowledge of my decision?!!👇🏼
Students are working on a “Scavenger Hunt” for text features. They were assigned to cut out the text feature from recycled non fiction books and make a poster. They will then label each part and write the purpose of each text feature. ♥️💖 @PasadenaELL @PasadenaISD_TX
So happy to be able to have some sense of normalcy in the classroom again. In love with these Christmas trees incorporating subtraction and these 3D snow globes for writing. 💝❤️❤️❤️My second graders are amazing!!!
Shout out to our wonderful PF @saenzmathcc for creating these workmats that spiral previously learned concepts all in one!!! We finally got to use them for the first time today! Kids loved them! Happy students = happy 👩🏻🏫. 😍😍😍@PISDMathematics
Love this app/website for virtual learning! Live work, on the spot feedback, re-teaching, clearing misconceptions, and identification of struggling learners. #whiteboard.fi
Well, I quit my teaching job today.
It wasn’t easy. I’ve been doing this for ten years.
But I was tired. Tired of negotiating my values and my humanity. Tired of saying yes when I really wanted to say no. Tired of smiling and nodding when I wanted to shake my head.
We are going virtual for the beginning of school. Saw it coming. Doesn’t make it any easier. Sick to my stomach for our working parents. Stressed for our teachers. Worried about our students. Don’t have the answers. “When you won’t move the mountain I’m needing you to move....”
Yesterday the members of our “Emerging Teacher Leaders in K-4 Mathematics Education Academy” explored guiding principles of a math coach/teacher leader using @Math_Solutions “The Math Coach Field Guide”! Mathematicians learn & grow together! #PISDMathChat#ElemMathChat#ETLMEA
