Another year, another new school. 🥴 I have a feeling this might be my best year yet! ❤️ #iamready #lifeofamilitaryspouse #Mathonthemove #teachanywhere #teacheverywhere

@WeinsteinEdu Educators understand this. Do the lawmakers understand?

[Tonya Garcia @mrsG_ometry]

@Larryferlazzo I will not argue with a student. It’s pointless.

@druinok I’ve wondered if I would like real estate. I loved being a bank teller (100 years ago), but that doesn’t pay very well. 😄

[Tonya Garcia @mrsG_ometry]

@druinok I feel that pain! I “reviewed” operations with fractions this week with my 8th graders, thinking that would be an easy way/grade to end the quarter. NOPE! It was a disaster! 😭

@TechMissC @MrsWtech @wakelet How is Jamboard different than google slides? Is it because of the pen feature? Legitimately asking. I want to use it!

New year, new classroom. The Army makes sure I don’t teach in the same place too many years in a row, but I love and cherish every experience I have! Here’s to a new year of amazing students, coworkers, and experiences! ❤️ #LVpioneers #USD453 #RWMS #EveryStudentEveryDay

@druinok I was the old dog that wouldn’t learn new tricks. Now that I’ve been forced to, I won’t let this knowledge go to waste! I’m loving Delta Math for practice to mastery, Edulastic for turning PDF’s into digital assessments, & all the google forms! So many new tricks! ❤️

Using #googleforms to do attendance checks during our #distancelearning adventure. Yesterday, I asked what their biggest challenge was, so far. It does my heart good to see that some are thriving! #TCSAtHome #iteachmath #TeachFromHome #LifeLessons #PWBHSDaily @BryantStampede

It’s incomprehensible that we are making many concessions in education but there are some making no changes in expectations for teachers, with some even adding to their workload. This is creating a more stressful situation by ignoring teacher anxiety and exhaustion. Lighten up!

Online teaching/learning-week 1: I cried a lot, & I’m sure they did too, but we made it! These are some responses to questions on my weekly checkout form. I really do have some of the best kids! ❤️ #TCSAtHome #imissmystudents #iteachmath #PWBHSDaily @BryantStampede @TCSBoardofEd

[Tonya Garcia @mrsG_ometry]

Happy 1st day of #distancelearning to all the #TCS teachers, parents, & students! Be patient with each other & yourselves! We’re going to get through this! 💪🏻 #highexpectationsforall #TCSLearnsfromhome #beamazing #PWBHSDaily #iteachmath #quaranteach @BryantStampede @TCSBoardofEd

Came to the school to grab a few things from my classroom. I wasn’t prepared for the flood of emotion that came over me when I opened the door. We didn’t know when we left for spring break that it would be the last time we were all here together. 😢#imissmystudents #imissmyteam

[Tonya Garcia @mrsG_ometry]

I am sad/mad/scared, & every other feeling I could possibly have about this. Rational me understands that they’re doing what is best for us, but irrational me is angry. In the words of my 6yo, “why does cromavirus have to be so portmant?” 😞 #iteachmath #imissmystudents

[Tonya Garcia @mrsG_ometry]

My 6yo misses school so much! She’s playing teacher, and the things she has picked up are hilarious! 😂 See the full video at https://t.co/MtW05JNdaL. @Bored_Teachers @TeacherMisery #teacher #QuarantineLife #teacherproblems #thatonestudent #principalmom #Kindergarten

@misscalcul8 I’ve always done this activity with patty paper. Why, oh why, have I never thought to use transparency sheets?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ #youreagenius #imadoofus

[Tonya Garcia @mrsG_ometry]

Mentor meeting/Bridal shower! We’re all drowning in paperwork & student concerns, but I love that almost the whole English & Math departments came together to celebrate Miss Rankin’s upcoming marriage! #pwbhsdaily #EDUnity @BryantStampede Congratulations, @AnnalisaRankin!
