@msgatesclass Prior to being a teacher I always said I didn’t want to be one of those teachers who only talked school with teacher friends… but they are the only ones who get it!
@MrsNeuerburg I love that you can really work on social emotional needs when you are with the kiddos all day vs a one hour window where you have to get everything done.
@Tricia_Winslow I made a big one yesterday... accepted an intervention position! Year round, single track. The whole team seemed well versed in intervention and it’s value- they have met or exceeded growth for years. Taking another leap of faith and excited to get into it.
@Tricia_Winslow Go where the right thing isn’t selfish. Where it’s appreciated & valued. I had no idea how much negativity truly impacted me until it was gone. I don’t regret trying to stick it out- we need to know we gave it our best & still learn a lot. Choose happy. You & your Ss deserve it.
@ShermanReads I’m so sorry to read this and appreciate your openness in regards to the gravity of mental health issues. Keeping your family close at heart 💕
Today was hard! Finally in concurrent teaching groove & internet failed. Unexpected new student. Recess incident made us late for our zoomies. Zero time for teacher BR break. We’re behind in everything. Missed my ARMS friends. And yet, I loved it all 💕#knowyourworth#choosehappy
@Tricia_Winslow Concurrent teaching is no joke! Especially when you don’t have access to all the district apps yet, but by Fri things were smooth. An admin stopped by to say I was doing a great job. 1st time I’d heard that in 2 years- amazing what a difference such a small gesture can make💕
15 yrs ago, a group of 4th graders gave me advice about being a good teacher. Excited to return to my dream job as a 4th grade teacher today & grateful to have these by my side in case I forget how to do it after 8 yrs gone💕 #howcomethereisnothingaboutteachingduringapandemic? 🤔
This is hard. The journey started just 2 yrs ago & I carried this reminder of my why each day. I came w/hope we could do it-a clean slate meant we didn’t have to unlearn old habits & student growth would sore. I still think “we” could have, but learned “I” couldn’t. This is hard.
@MlleDurocher I didn’t have any issue the first time and have been in bed all day after getting mine yesterday around 1pm. I thought of you after seeing your arm last time as was hoping that would be the worst of it for you. Sending good vibes for a speedy recovery- this is rough!
