Did a week of physical annotations as we’re reading Douglass. First I let them freely annotate, then I gave them a guide, and then they annotated again as a whole group. Discussions vastly improved!

The only thing is story is proving to me is that there are some people who hate honoring other people’s boundaries, especially if they’re not close. The same person who throws a fit that their kids aren’t invited and their boyfriend can’t propose at the function. Stay home!

I wish I would’ve known how logistical the job was ( attendance, grades, planning trips and lessons, etc.) Crucial information: the journey towards getting more than one certification and/or lateral moves in promoting oneself.

It’s a group of Viking female warriors, especially known for their fierce fighting style and flying horses. Tessa Thompson plays one in the Avengers.

Lastly, all this energy that folks have on what makes a good or bad teacher but get SUPER defensive when teachers speak on what makes good or bad parenting? Cuz why is your child in anybody’s head? ON OR OFF camera? Your slips are showing.

I’ve equally learned about the self righteousness of “good” teachers as I’ve learned about the inappropriate behaviors of budding teachers this weekend. A lot of us haven’t been fired because of our moments, past or present, haven’t made it to the Internet.

Seeing it in middle school too ( I teach 8th). I’m frustrated and disappointed because I saw so much growth when I taught 7th.

People commenting on this calling it “teacher’s salary” and all I can think is that they must not know many teachers

My pastor preached about this today but said that sometimes being in the wrong place means that God is using your gifts as a blessing and testimony for someone else.
No matter how extraordinary you are if you are in the wrong environment you are very likely to be overlooked and undervalued.

Besides Pokémon, this would be my answer. Demon Slayer’s in the theaters and all the showings are sold out. MHA is not doing those type of numbers.

Ok so my real birthday post. I am grateful for 40 years. The last couple years have been a journey of self-discovery and learning to love myself. So my prayer for this year and going forward is for the bravery to walk with new confidence in what I’ve learned.
