@korytellers My drama teacher in high school had us watch it and it’s still a favorite of mine! “I make their lives better!” has always stuck stuck with me. And also, “I’m the distraction that’s going with her to England, sir.” 🤣 I also always think of it when I’m on a plane!
@Eduventuring04 @MrKWisconsin Gratitude and genuine appreciation for the work/effort you’re putting it can and does make all the difference - lack there of breeds resentment and constant challenge!!
@Eduventuring04 @MrKWisconsin It always comes down to this for me - the idea that kids won’t benefit or will struggle. They’re ALL of our kids, but it’s exhausting feeling like the only person pulling their weight (reads: the entire team’s weight). And I also feel like the problem for letting it go on. 🫠
@DurhamsNatSauce I’ll literally never forget that morning. There was so much flooding on my drive to school and couldn’t believe kids were out in that. I’d hate to be the one who makes those calls because they’re damned either way!
Today, I was moving my car to the street and I swore I heard someone yell, “Ms. Filegar!” The car turned around and it was a student from my first two years of teaching (8 years ago!!!) He plays football in high school and he’s still got the biggest heart. Day/life made. 🥺🫶
@goguardian Checking in with your students every single day. It doesn’t have to be a formal student, but some kind of positive interaction, with undivided attention, where you really let your students know you’re seeing them and listening. Kids know when it’s real! 🫶
Hi friends. My dad is in low output heart failure and has been approved for an LVAD at UPMC Presby. This has been a lot - and the financial toll is starting to add up. Any donations or shares are super, super appreciated. Thanks, y’all. ❤️ https://t.co/AlAHPsAOp8

I bought myself a Procreate class on flat florals for my birthday. I’ve been dedicating time every day to practicing and I’m amazed at how relaxing and helpful it is for my brain. I showed my students and they were impressed! Never too old to pick something up.
