I don’t know if you have to be Canadian for this to break your heart, but dang, I’m crying all the tears https://t.co/b4i9iIpU3D

Remember when dressing like a ninja every day of the school year was grounds for dismissal? #ReasonsToLove2020

@elonmusk, my students think you'd be the ideal person to interview about innovation. Any chance you'd join a video conference with a group of high school juniors one day?

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

@ShawnMendes My high school students voted you the coolest person to interview via video chat during quarantine. Chances??

@MichaelJohnRoe
made me realize today that avoiding conflict might also mean avoiding what makes another person human. Ignoring our differences means damping down the fire at your (or my) core, instead of exploring how to light up the world together.

@willcraftYT That’s very touching! I hope you always find the words you need, to tell your story :)

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

@Darling_RT Yep

Day 1 COVID-19 homeschool part 2a: when the wood is too wet to burn, increase oxygen (so far, it appears we have covered automechanics, culinary, and chemistry)

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

@Darling_RT Seriously! The next six weeks is going to get interesting with this one in the boat

Day 1 COVID-19 homeschool, part 2: that’s beef in the foil packet. He assures me this is the best way to cook tri tip. The internet said so.

Day one of online school for my youngest looks like this #PBL

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

Things I’ve never been able I’m assign as homework to my AP students but now I totally am: 9 hours of sleep every night #thanksCovid19

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

Repeat after me: My students don't need to like me; they need to like themselves; sometimes helping them build self-respect is a painful process.

@wellfitchad I’d love to send you one from the epicenter of the virus, here in WA but do you want it? You could like... hot iron to disinfect it I guess?

I told my students that @BreneBrown said to embrace the suck and to own their stories. They said “prove it.” So I did. It was terrifying: https://t.co/JJR8UWkILb

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

@WalterHDemelo @BreneBrown Sure! Do you have an email where I could send the PDF?

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

@conniedraws @MonteSyrie Absolutely! I have been burnt out too often; just showing up takes all I have. We can’t save everyone—or anyone, for that matter; we aren’t saviors. But we CAN connect with one today, and another one tomorrow, in small and sincere ways.

[Kimber Lybbert @kimberlybbert]

@teachinginrm30 @KathrynSLong2 You are not alone! Most mornings I sit outside the school, coaching myself to get out of the car. Sometimes the only thing keeping me going is that wall behind me in my pic: Thank you notes from 8 years of students. Make a difference in one life today, and do it again tomorrow.
