We know you do! No one can doubt that, especially after last night. Thank you. I ❤️ you!

It’s not just students who need Maslow. Teachers need: 1) feel safe / supported 2) emotional connection/ relationships 3) feel respected 4) attention/ appreciation 5) value within the team 6) Volition/ autonomy 7) innovation/ creativity 8) self care

This week in our morning meeting we talked about strategies we can use to calm our anxious feelings and de-stress. These are some of the creative virtual paintings my students made inspired by what makes each of them feel calm!

It is extremely important for educators to work on their mental & physical health right now. Whether school is in person or virtual, we are dealing with stress that we have never encountered. Take time for yourself daily/weekly - read, walk, rest, spend time with loved ones.

While I love seeing kids learning, please remember that showing your Webex/Zoom/Meet platform with first and last names of students easily seen is not a best practice. Let’s remember to protect our kids online.

Shout out to these fabulous 5th Graders who completed 5 or more Dreambox lessons last week! With 5 or more lessons a week, students experience more learning growth than their peers who complete fewer! Keep up the great work, Mustangs! 🌟#fbebestschoolever

What we learned about education this year: * don’t need standardized test to educate * teachers can teach anywhere under any conditions! * many students miss school * teachers miss their kids *learning is so much more than a set curriculum * teachers, parents, admin stepped up!

Does anyone else feel like standardized testing and evals right now are kind of like trying to teach someone to swim while they're drowning.

I would be remiss if I didn’t SAY SOMETHING about today’s order from Greg Abbott. Instead of my words, I’ll share some from the many, many msgs I received. (The vast majority were like the ones below.) We are awaiting Texas Education Agency guidance, expected by Thursday. #IhearyouRISD
