@lizfrench1010 Sounds like the perfect party to me!!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Sometimes, kids make bad choices. Sometimes, they really screw up. We hold them accountable... but we can also extend some grace. They need to know we still like them. They need to learn a lesson... but it is never constructive when they feel alienated from us.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

If you want to see a teacher’s rapport with students, watch them interact with the kids in the hallway. Those interactions speak volumes.

We have a beautiful school that is so well taken care of by our facilities and volunteers! It would be awesome to see the money spent on rent/purchase placed into our classrooms. #thepaintingladiesofpact #PACT #charterschoolteacher

Charter schools spend 10% of per-pupil operating revenue to rent or purchase their building - contact Congress to help put those funds back in the classroom https://t.co/1hTv0Efb02

@rmitch40 We had at meeting at school the other letting us know we’d have a scheduled lock down soon. We would then have an ALICE response lockdown. I could not stop from crying. I should not have to arm my students, or think about my own child in a situation like that. #NRAsucks

Tomorrow we will be welcoming new staff members! Having a husband who has moved us for his career a several-ish times, I know the nervous feeling of the first day of preplanning. #teachersfirstday #notlookingforwardtothealarm #backtocool2018

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

Preplanning starts Monday! I’m super excited to start a fresh, new year! I have nearly $400 left to fund my #DonorsChoose project. Please consider donating or #retweet! These stools from @Staples would make huge difference for many, many students! https://t.co/VGOpdt7wZq

My three year old got the official acceptance letter into preschool today. Oh my gosh! Mommy tears!! What is it going to be like when she gets that first college acceptance 😭😩 #proudmomma #teachermom #preschool #BackToSchoolProud #BackToSchool2018

Last week of summer vacay! Where did the time go? I am blessed to have these months with my children and to be returning to a school full of eager students and happy staff. Bring on #BackToSchool2018 #fifthgrade #iteachfifth

I wonder if we might pledge ourselves to remember what life is really all about— not to be afraid that we are less flashy than the next, not to worry that our influence is not that of a tornado, but rather that of a grain of sand in an oyster! Do we have that kind of patience?

I voted and brought my girls with me! Future Minnesota Voters #dontchaknow

[Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon]

Minnesota, you crushed it last night!

With 100% Reporting:

902,119 people voted in the primary; the highest number of primary voters since 1982.

Overall turnout was approximately 22.7%; the highest turnout percentage in a primary since 1994.

Amazing!

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

@Rippleon @mls2atx Super excited as well! My husband works for MLS, so it’s now a potential place for us to move, and me to TEACH!

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

Minneapolis Teachers!! Do you need a $20 small group table?! Yes, you do. Check FB marketplace. I believe these are at a charter that closed near Brooklyn Center. #minneapolisteachers… https://t.co/ANpT84wxpy

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

Me at @lowes : So, I really need this to be strong. It’s got a last a few years. I teach fifth. They are pretty tough of furniture. Lowe’s Guy (hands on hips): This is galvanized steel.… https://t.co/pRiJNrcb98

[MisterRogersQuotes @MisterRogersSay]

All of us at some time or another need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving a sweater, each of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That’s one of the things that connects us as neighbors—in our own way, everyone is a giver and receiver.

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

Today is the day I’m hoping to see a 🚀 🤞🏻 These stools would be used daily in my #fifthgrade classroom for years and years! Please consider donating to my #DonorsChoose or #retweet 😊 Anything helps!! It’s #taxdeductible 👍🏼 https://t.co/sqgywlVcrW

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

The only thing I would change is, teachers who genuinely CARE. Kids can see through your act.

[Wendy Hankins @MrsHankinsClass]

📝TAKE NOTE EDUCATORS📝

ALL kids want a teacher who:

📌Greets them in the morning
📌Acts like they care
📌Knows how to say their name
📌Has an inviting classroom
📌Makes learning FUN!

📌ALL kids.
📌Not just elementary age.
📌Middle & high school kids too!

@SteeleThoughts

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

I would love a couple standing desks for my classroom. It isn’t in my personal budget and I don’t have a school budget for items like these. So, I’m going to make one and see how it goes! @HomeDepot see you in the morning! #samthebuilder #reallifeSTEAMed #prayforme #iteachfifth

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

When that fluency time just keeps decreasing 🙌🏻 I LOVE TEACHING READING! My summer tutoring students are grown tremendously in 8 weeks 💪🏼👏🏻 #teachertutor #iteachreading #summerlearning #readingfluency

[Samantha Vickers @SVickers55]

During tutoring this evening my soon to be third grader was being extra goofy. She usually says the best things so I couldn’t help LOLing when she looked right at me during math as told me, “sorry, I’m addicted to fun!!” 😂😄 #metookid #bestthingtobeaddictedto #teachertutor
