“I want to say thank you to the young people in this room, you are truly the antidote to hopelessness,” @JasonReynolds83 makes a toast at the #TIME100Next https://t.co/rT9wBoHsJZ

Last week’s #fcf from All American Boys by @JasonReynolds83 was such a huge hit that kids begged me to keep reading. I had a student call dibs to check it out from the library before first period even ended.

Last week before Thanksgiving Break! Let’s do this!

Literally all I do as an educator:

No.
No.
Why are you talking when I’m teaching?
No, you can’t FaceTime while you’re doing your work.
No.
I literally just explained that.
No.
Get off of Netflix.
I know you’re texting under the desk.
No.
Love y’all! Make good choices!

Literally all I do as a meteorologist:

No.
No.
Flooding is possible, but not likely
264 hour model hurricane forecasts are usually wrong.
No.
It usually doesn't snow here.
No.
The Euro nailed Sandy.
Phone app forecasts suck.
No.
I can't forecast your wedding 1 year out.
No

In 1st period today, I had a student spontaneously rap how to write a thesis statement. It was epic 😂

@TeachMrReed They do so much behind the scenes that we have no idea about.

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

@GaryRGrayJr Hah! Every single day.

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

@corvusirritatus Congrats!! Way to go!

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

Something I never thought I’d say as a teacher: “Why are you throwing a tortilla in the classroom?!”

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

My substitute for my half day graduated from Cy-Fair HS with my aunt. What a crazy, small world! As I was leaving, she told the class where #bfnd first came from, and the kids were riveted. I’m so grateful to leave my kids in such good hands ♥️

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

I have a giant Death Star in my class, and I keep telling Ss to drop off their projects beneath it. Every single one has responded, “Under the what?” Every. Single. One. Needless to say, it’s been a painful day.

Great reminder for teachers on #MentalHealthAwarenessDay

The most important thing you can do for the world is:
Take care of your mental health.

@TchKimPossible Yup! The kids are just as tired this time of year as we are 😁 It’s a good time for grace.

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

@Gameboydrew @WeAreTeachers 🤯 This kid is going places.

Avoid replying when you are angry, you may regret your words. Avoid making promises when you’re happiest, you may commit to standards you may not have the energy to uphold. Avoid making decisions when you are sad, you may underestimate your strength.

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

Yes! Teachers, take care of yourselves. Take time to rest BEFORE you burnout

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

A reminder! 💚 #selfcare

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

@pennykittle Ooh! Thanks for the great recommendation!

[Kimberly Dyer @heymsdyer]

Using the @writeguyjeff grammar model, my kiddos practiced writing simple sentences today. They were excited. They were engaged. They were eager to share. They never once heard the word “grammar.”
