How many of us are listening to the same hold music right now while we all inundate IT with calls for help? Shout out to the IT people today because I just know this is gonna be rough for you 🥲

@UticaCityFC @KCComets Missouri is ranked pretty low in education so this isn’t a huge surprise. They’re doing the best they can, UC!!

I can’t even get these settings to change and save, so that’s great, Twitter!

[Kali Rhe @RHEmarkable]

First, read the note. Second, go to Settings > Privacy and Safety > Direct Messages > Disable Calls.

You’re welcome.

I did the math and this particular image of Dee has actually been my lock screen for….7 years!
That would be a long time to have bad luck, so…

[Moriah “Tall Energy” Stephens @CallMeMoprah]

7 years of bad luck for anyone who passes this tweet without leaving their lock screen

One former student told me today that she missed me and my class and thought of me when she was stressing earlier.

30 seconds later another student (never taught) told me that when he gets his license next month, he’s going to drive into my living room.

🥲🥲🥲

@ColeDavis84 I think this will be the way! I’m gonna make a review game of the unit we worked on before break and they can have an option to play the review game as a group, or have some time to themselves to talk or go to another room if needed. Thank you Cole!❤️

The middle school principal passed away unexpectedly on Christmas Day. Trying to shift my initial plans for returning to school tomorrow since my 9th graders all knew him well and spent 4 years with him as admin. Trying to balance space for grieving with something to distract?

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

@CallMeMoprah Oooo Moriah I love this idea. Everything about it. You are so creative!!

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

@HollyStallcup Aura Frames are great, and there’s probably a code you can use for a discount right now (maybe try OLOGIES since that podcast is often sponsored by Aura)

It’s my first out of two paid IEP writing days and I just have to say I love this process lol. I love collecting data and putting the pieces together to see what each student needs to support them. It’s like a constantly evolving puzzle and my nerdy heart is content😌

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

There is truly no theme here lol

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

I am losing my marbles over my general education colleagues who find it SO INCONVENIENT to help assess the progress of students with IEPs. They are YOUR students too!!! Omg.

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

I think 4 different students of mine got their licenses in the last month… we’re currently experiencing the first snowfall to stick to the road this evening…I hope they are all staying in tonight 😩

A student, talking to me about a serial killer they were discussing in her class:

Look at that face, Ms. Long!! Why would people go with him?? Ms. Long….. smash or pass?

I can’t 🥲🥲🥲

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

It was a good and refreshing first day back! Hopefully the students felt that way too.

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

Why is the text on all video games/streaming platforms so small?! Accessibility settings should allow you to increase font size so you can read the show summary, episode name, any info on a platform! The text is too small, people!!

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

Today was a much better day although I still don’t feel like I’m having any meaningful impact on a few students. I can’t seem to convince them through words or actions so far that I am on their side

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

@heymrsbond I’d love one if you have one to spare still

[Kelly Long @kellylooong]

One more day til break. I need a chance to breathe and figure out how to approach these situations in the future. I hate that there are students who feel they aren’t being helped at all. But nothing I do seems to make an impact

Things students have said to me this year:
“Teachers shouldn’t have rights” after the student stated that teachers acted like gods and I asked what we could do differently to make the classroom feel more welcome

“You’re not even trying to help me.” After working through a global study guide with them and trying to help them learn how to navigate a textbook for specific information
