@caitteach Give us some sort of support during the day. Just another body in the room for at least 30 minutes would make such a difference with 34 students.
These last 3 days of third grade felt like 3 weeks. I feel the weight and pressure of this school year so tangibly. Thankfully, the students don't. They kept saying, "I just loving being here with you." My prayer: I hope I never forget what a gift it is to just be together.
Sometimes folks believe they have a high threshold for pain, when really we’ve just been conditioned to suppress pain and/or accept abuse.
Often, healing means giving voice to the parts of us who never had a chance to say “no.”

I don't know the Jesus some have paraded and waved around in the middle of this treachery today. They may be acting in the name of some other Jesus but that's not Jesus of the Gospels.
I’m sorry that every time you tried to show up as your God given self—you were told to come back when you were different.
I hope you find your people; I hope you know you can heal anyway.

I don't see anywhere in the bible where it encourages us to demand our rights. I see all kinds of places where we are called to give up our rights for the sake of others.
