Same here

Knowing who’s in your tribe is always good. Happy to meet you, friend.

AOC - I’m a middle school teacher. I try to teach my kiddos to think for themselves in an extremely red state. I need your help.

Will you accept someone who’s 2/3 of that description? I teach middle school. I’m always hurrying after my kiddos to support them.

AMEN!!!

Didn’t the US just do that???

Glad you’re here. Much more accepting crowd, so far.

Back at ya!!

It is affirming to know I’m not alone. Take care!!💙

2 weeks to Thanksgiving. 3 weeks after that until Winter Break. Pretty sure DO staff are unaware of what’s coming in January. Semester 2 is going to be a cluster.

Already spent $1,000 on supplies & student materials this year. Crazeeeee!!

Preach it, Sister!! Even though I told myself 10k times NOT to get used to the COVID money, the budget cuts this year were a gut punch. Student materials spending is back to 2009-2010 levels. Why do they always have money for standardized testing, but not for bandaids & toilet paper?

I teach MS history. Trying to get kids interested in nonfiction text and responding to same. Would love to learn any tips/techniques you recommended. Thank you!!

Emergency school board meeting tonight. When this happened 2 years ago, it was the local version of Nixon’s Saturday Night Massacre. Good vibes appreciated.

SC educator glad to be in a place where it’s expected that I teach my students the truth. Thank you #EduSky for welcoming me into BlueSky!

6 different ways students can name where they are at before independent work time

Before moving into a stretch of independent work time in class, I have students write down a # in their spiral so I can circle the room and "triage" my support during that time #EduSky

(Added benefit: immediately builds in self-reflection for students in owning where they are at in their learning!)

Speaking for the newbies, we’d appreciate your help!!

Trying to complete the Google form to join the EduSky Community. Can’t use my school laptop to join. My old phone is struggling copying the link w/#EduSky. Suggestions?

Job #1 - Get my LGBTQ+ daughter to Europe. She works for Volvo, so Sweden is her top choice.
Job #2 - Getting myself across the pond. Tired of dealing with the crazy.

South Carolina. Was worried about what could have happened on Wednesday. It was quiet. Planning to switch districts for next year.

Trying to teach world history to 12-14 year olds honestly, while trying NOT to run afoul of the
fascists that run my state & school district. It’s hard. Good thoughts to your husband!!

HALLELUJAH!!! Not a religious proclamation, but cry of relief after surviving the election.

Trying to find a safe, SANE place to find & share ideas to be the best possible teacher for my students. Could it be #EduSky ?
