I am a rural Alaskan teacher of little people (1st grade). I am just trying my best in a climate where teachers are not always treated like professionals.

Me: Miles you should not walk and read; it is dangerous!
Miles: Mom! I am working out my brain and body at the same time!

Miles read during all his free time today…my teacher heart is so full right now!

First Easter without my oldest daughter 🥺. I had to priority mail her Easter goodies to Mount Edgecombe. Sadness!

At the end of April, I travel 500 plus miles to Peterson Bay Field Station with my 15 first grade students. Trying to avoid “Hangry” situations. 🤣

At the end of the day, one of my 1st graders walked up to me, put her hand on my arm, and said, “I care about you!” I love my 1st graders. #firstgrade #students #teaching #education #TEACHers #teacherlife #schools #Alaska #kids

Still needs funding 🙂

My 1st grade students are going on an epic field trip with me. We will be traveling 500 plus miles from home. My students need daypacks for all the awesome activities. #donorschoose https://t.co/nRf3oG0XVz

This 1st grade teacher is feeling overwhelmed. The READS Act has good intentions…but where is the support for teachers. My work plate was already full!

If we burn out teachers our education system will never meet the needs of learners. This, in turn, will dramatically impact society and not in a good way. They are people and have limits.

[Sara Talus @renntalus]

Great idea: make professional educators ride a school bus to inservice 50 plus miles one way…do better admin…and we wonder why we are losing teachers. #alaska #educators #schools #TEACHers
