PLEASE share and retweet. I HAVE to reach more people, and you can help!

There are only 25 days left to fund our project. I'm nearly giving up hope.

If anyone can help with ANY amount,my first graders and I would be so grateful!🙏

Hi everyone! It’s been a minute…lol. Teacher Life has been super busy this year. I am currently trying to make upgrades to my “classroom store.” Here’s the progress so far…. 🙂

@nellz70 Hang in there and take care of yourself. This has been the toughest start to a school year in my 22 years of teaching. Sending all the positive vibes your way. 🙏🏼

[Kim Vasquez @KimVasquezTeach]

@DaaChazz You do this everyday…lol! 🙂

[Kim Vasquez @KimVasquezTeach]

@mrs_Gin1st Oh no! Stay well! 🙏🏼

It’s no secret that public schools are struggling in many ways. More families choosing homeschooling, charter schools opening and vouchers being used. One way our district chose to handle deficits, is to cut the jobs of our cafeteria monitors. May not seem like a big deal to some, but it’s huge to us. Teachers are now required to take turns being monitors and helping in the cafeteria each week. We still get a duty free lunch, but never in my 22 years of teaching, did I think it would come to this. I’m the type who will jump in wherever needed. It doesn’t matter what the job is, but here’s what’s happening. Our custodian is working twice as hard during lunches, teachers (some) are helping her by cleaning the tables, we are exposed to way more germs, and have I mentioned the noise? My anxiety can’t handle it…lol!

I can’t wait to fill out the yearly survey. I will be happy to state that our monitors should be brought back and to suggest making a cut in administration!!! 😆

I’ve been feeling sick the last few days and worse today. Guess it’s time to go to the doctor! 😞

If you’ve read this far, thank you for listening to my rant. I’m also wondering if this cut was made in other states. Please let me know in the comments!

@DaaChazz This is my absolute pet peeve…OMG!!!

Part 2: Working at a Title 1 school is where I’m supposed to be….Serving these students and families. I go the extra mile anyway, but I do more because many of these kids don’t have the means for essentials. I have a “Classroom Store” for rewards and incentives. Students can buy toys, snacks, supplies, even hats/gloves. I saw a need for that one winter! This is where I spend most of my money, honestly. They absolutely love it!

Thank you @DietCoke_Esq and #lawtwitter for all that you are doing to support teachers! It’s been so incredible to watch it all unfold and to see so many teachers getting the help that they deserve! ❤️

[Kim Vasquez @KimVasquezTeach]

@DietCoke_Esq Part 1: We do it for the KIDS. We want school to be fun, welcoming, and engaging. We hope to inspire students to go for their hopes and dreams, by working hard to achieve them. We want to create the best environment and experiences for them. ❤️

@DaaChazz Oh my! Wish we were local! Those look amazing!
