Hi everyone! I’m reaching out to find a few generous individuals or organizations to sponsor dinners for Austin-East’s Girls’ Flag Football team. We’re looking to provide five pre-game team meals, each feeding at least 30 people. DM me you’re interested in supporting!

In all this chaos, I have had the most positive, helpful interactions with the gate staff and flight crew @Delta today. I may still miss my connection, but it won’t be because they haven’t tried!!!

@briannastedman Who am I fighting?

@DanWuori My firstborn named his paternal grandmother “Blue Gee” and my mother was “‘Nother Gee” because she was his ‘nother one. It stuck with all four of my children and my siblings children all call my mother ‘Nother Gee

What and who we choose to leave out of our stories often reveals the limits of our conception of justice.

Kid: I can’t wait until my birthday this weekend. My parents got me a car!

Kid: yeah! That!

@teacher2teacher A8: setting boundaries. Learning to leave work at work and be present at home with my family has been critical for my well being

@mhawkinsEDU @teacher2teacher One of my friends called me from jail later that year. She’d been arrested for assault. She apologized to me and said “I tried so hard to bless her heart but she kept running that mouth”…🫠

@EaganLiz @teacher2teacher I use a “2 word check in” in Canvas at the start of each SEL class. It’s private between my students and my team. It also helps us to “triage” needs each day and tailor lessons on the fly based on what they actually NEED

[Rhonda Kerr, Ph.D. @yo_rho]

@mhawkinsEDU @teacher2teacher @harmony_sel @InspireSELEd @SEL4USA @LiberatED_SEL I lean on that casel website heavily!

[Rhonda Kerr, Ph.D. @yo_rho]

@teacher2teacher My goodness, these are the realest of real world skills! We as adults use these every day, lots of times without thinking about it!
