One last kindergarten assessment before I leave @ElementaryPoage for the year! So proud of their progress on beat, high/low, fast/slow, and loud/quiet! See you in first grade, littles! 💛💙
Why Are Teachers So Tired All The Time? 😴
Research shows we make about 1,500 decisions a day! The constant requirement to ‘be on’ becomes DRAINING to our brains and bodies. It is called ‘Decision Fatigue’.
This explains a lot!
@MsNystedtMusic Maybe teachers get enough flack from outsiders that we *maybe* shouldn’t also give it to each other? Each human is going through life trying to do the best they can. Maybe we should uplift/help each other instead of putting people on blast? If you can’t say something nice...

@EnglishTeach07 Mmhmm, yep. My fiancé who has no schooling beyond a HS degree, makes more $/year as a Sergeant in the Army National Guard than I do as a public school educator with a bachelors and masters degree.
Not going to say I’m like, THE coolest music teacher, but I did create an entire lesson based on comparing Dvorak to Darth Vader, so... ��🏻♀️😂 #elmused
