Best part of teaching—seeing a former student lean into his gifts and make a difference for others at the Loudoun #Juneteenth2023 celebration. I can’t wait to learn from him and see what great things he does with @LoudounNaacp

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if

@FHSProfe @MrsParkShine @MrsGriffin301 @katie_eustis I’ve done 2ways: 1-monitor chat and have them drop ?s. 2-have then start with teacher as main room, mute mic, and pop in with questions. Both have worked

“I see no color” is not the goal.

“I see your color and I honor you. I value your input. I will be educated about your lived experiences. I will work against the racism that harms you. You are beautiful. Tell me how to do better.”

... That’s the goal.

So #COVID19 has ended the debate: leggings are now officially considered pants. There’s no going back anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I thought I might miss gift cards and notes from the kids this week, but the emails I have gotten for #TeacherAppreciationWeek have been the best, most uplifting messages ever! Makes this insanity worth it :)

There is no way this is real life. It’s a Black Mirror episode, right?

The maker of disinfectants Lysol & Dettol has issued a press release telling people not to inject themselves with disinfectant after President Donald Trump suggested disinfectants and light could be injected into the human body to kill the coronavirus.

I cannot say how great it was to touch base with some of my @LCPSFarmwell students today! Best meeting ever! So excited to let them sign up for what they need next week :)

I have realized my calling in life is NOT video editing. It can only get better from here! 😂 Video lesson #1 down, how many to go? 🤔 #teachingduringcoronavirus

I’ve become increasingly frustrated with things as I internalized a lot lately. This growth mindset has helped me focus on what I need to #growthmindset #iCANdothis

Love the simplistic explanation from this. We all play a part. #FlattenTheCuve #SocialDistancing
