My little teacher dreams came true when parents donated a class set of Harbor Me to our 5th grade community. #teachingfifth #readaloud Been using it for amazing discussions and #noticeandnote strategies

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

It’s Harbor Me by @JackieWoodson 🤦🏼‍♀️Duh!!

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

Ok teacher Twitter I need your help…what’s the book about a group of kiddos (I think 5th grade) in an ELA special club after school?

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

It’s on the tip of my tongue an it’s driving me nuts. Title has something to do with Statue of Liberty…or…an American document…#helpinghand

Thanks @adelayedteacher #helpingothers

@heymrsbond @LeonaLGregory Taught all year in person. Now trying to unravel from a year of my trauma as well as vicarious trauma. Listened to Hello Monday podcast re: managing Covid anxiety today 🤷🏼‍♀️

I wish education wasn't a runaway freight train so we could make time to have conversations about these viewpoints.
There are so many perspectives available, we simply can't see only our own, and there's so much to be learned.

@adelayedteacher But where’s the study of gender norms in R&J?

On this 100th anniv of the #TulsaRaceRiots, it’s good to see so many people spending the day teaching, studying, and talking about it. When you’re done with that though, we have some additional homework for you for the rest of the year...

@ModestTeacher I’m a teacher

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

🤣

[The Modest Teacher @ModestTeacher]

Thinking you can teach a lesson someone else has created is like thinking you are good at karaoke.

Unfortunately, some of you think you can do both.

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

And yes, I’ve been teaching in person all school year. I know that isn’t #normal whatever that is. And yes it is better now. Also #SpringBreak helps

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

At the beginning of this #COVID19 school year I would come home and suddenly feel human again. Not always in a good way. I would feel the ache or hunger or thirst I’d been neglecting all day. Do #Teachers know what I’m talking about? #TeachingInAPandemic

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

I just had a breakthrough about the next 2 months of school and my favorite 5th grade weirdos. Know why? Spring break! #giveteachersabreak #alsowineplease

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

Swoon

[Kyle Clark @KyleClark]

Hey Colorado. Biggest snow in years. Make sure your furnace vent isn’t blocked by snow tonight.

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

A parent just sent this to me 😂 #snowday

Friend of mine (private school in CA) cried in class today (HS math). Her quote, “In case anyone was wondering about the emotional effects of not having a thanksgiving break.”

[Mrs. Thomas @teachingboogie]

I know private schools are not popular on the Twitter. But those teachers are not fairing any better than the public teachers I know.
