EDUCATORS and LIBRARIANS: do your students like graphic novels?
I’m giving away 2 class sets (25 copies each) of my new one, The Hunger Heroes: Missed Meal Mayhem (here and on Instagram)!

One of the finished products. This student added a hat and chair for their skeleton. @FenixPgrmOPS

Some kids carry around with them the burden of a bad reputation. Be the teacher who gives them a fresh start. Be the teacher who sees in them the potential that their parents see. YOU can be the teacher that helps them “turn the corner.”

"To lead yourself, use your head;
to lead others, use your heart.
Always touch a person's heart
before you ask him for a hand."
-John Maxwell
Lead with heart.
Lead with humanity.
Lead with empathy.

My second job is as interim Director of Children’s Ministry at our church. This was part of our lesson today. Look forward to it every Sunday!
On Monday, I start school again! I’m getting another Masters Degree...this time in Counseling in Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Got my syllabus and I’m super excited!

Bonus: I keep myself in check with the team. I also communicate to be sure we’re all on the same page with expectations to ensure consistency. Finally, I’m not afraid to adjust when needed. #teachpos

A3: Our students struggle with a 90 minute class. I have students arrive and share frustration about me or the class, then we do hands on lessons that are differentiated. If students need a break, they are encouraged to use coping skills to work through challenges. #teachpos

A2: I intertwine SEL in all classes. I start the lesson by sharing my SEL goals, have them posted on the board, and have them posted on my classroom door. #teachpos
