#changemymind Making homemade red pasta sauce is just not worth it.

If you teach middle school, this might cause you to roll your eyes. IYKYK #EduSky

Teachers, consider having student write teacher appreciation letters during Teacher AppreciationWeek and put them in teachers’ boxes. You’ll be amazed at how excited kids are to write and how thankful other teachers are when they get letters. @edusky.bsky.social

Hearing up some of Mom’s boiled peanuts she put up this past summer. Yummy!

Sweet Delaware-she’s had a busy few days with a grooming appointment and a vet visit.

Wish it was possible to set rules for my account to avoid seeing posts with certain names or topics on them.

How is this a comfortable sleeping position? Tomorrow, she gets groomed and will look like a totally different dog. I live her both ways. #ChineseCrested #dogs

Remember when we had to have a seating chart to turn in every time we went to the computer lab to track possible Covid spread. Covid teaching was not for the weak at heart. #TeacherThread

We have the possibility of snow or icy rain here Friday. The kids came back from break talking about all they need to do to ensure we don’t come to school Friday. What do your kids do? Here are ours-turn pjs inside out, flush ice cubes, put a spoon under the pillow. #EduSky

Sixth graders wrote personal mantras to help them work through frustrations, test anxiety, etc. #EduSky

I don’t mind early morning grading when on break especially with sweet Delaware sleeping in my lap. The more I get done now, the fewer I have to worry about next week. #iteachEnglish #EduSky

Am I the only one who finds herself looking up loads of words while watching The Great British Baking Show?

What other teacher needs one of these after a hard day at work? a.co/d/g4UwFXF #EduSky

A fun descriptive writing lesson to wrap up this week. #EduSky #iteachEnglish

Making homemade hot chocolate mix for some gifts.

I’m “borrowing” an idea from a LinkedIn post from Paul Matthews: “Ask AI for options, not answers.” Don’t just ask for five questions if that’s what you need; ask for ten and pick the best ones. Simple, effective, worth it! #AI #EduSky #EdUSkyAI #EdTech

Few things are as weird as the Georgia Bulldogs being the visiting team in Atlanta #cfb #uga

Time for Deputy Quinn Ewers to call for backup #cfb #uga

How do they sound this good in 8th grade? #EduSky

Am I the only teacher not dreading going back to school tomorrow after the break? I hope not. #EduSky

A personal favorite. The older I get, the more poignant it becomes...

Good morning, friends! I love this quote from John Wesley, of the Methodist church. We face a dark time, but it is not time to give up. No one of us can fix it, but there is power in each of us doing what we can. In all the ways we can. Be a blessing to someone today. It's good for the soul.

Delaware is hanging out in front of the first fire of the season while we watch some football.

Difficult woman here 🙋‍♀️

What do English teachers do in the waiting room at the hospital? Grade! #EduSky @johndbro1.bsky.social

Who else remembers these? Now found at Cracker Barrel.

Sweet Delaware today.

Friday, kids wrote letters of gratitude. Many wrote to parents, but a lot chose to write teachers. I told them I would get letters to their elementary teachers in the district or at our school. I spot checked the letters going to elementary teachers. #EduSky 1/2

If it's helpful to schools and teachers, below is the link to a year's worth of picturebook assembly suggestions that have a focus on empathy, diversity, equality and inclusion. They're all books I've used and loved. #edusky padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

7 things all kids need to hear 1 I love you 2 I'm proud of you 3 I'm sorry 4 I forgive you 5 I'm listening 6 RAID is not backup. Make offsite backups. Verify backup. Find out restore time. Otherwise, you got what we call Schrödinger backup 7 You've got what it takes

When I asked my students who say thank you at the end of class where they learn to do it, they said cotillion. Then, the other kids who participated said they got good cookies and lemonade there. I good reminder that every student won’t leave class with the same learning. #EduSky

As a teacher, there’s not much better than listening to students giggle and talk as they work, especially when they are working through challenging tasks. It’s awesome to hear them supporting each other. I’ll actually miss them next week while on break. I am lucky to be their teacher. #EduSky

On the other site, I had saved a really great thread where I had asked T’s share their favorite resources as an alternative to TPT. Can we do that here? I’ll start some off in the comments ⬇️⬇️ #edusky #iteach #blackedusky

Lessons for the rest of the week will focus on gratitude. Kids will read about the importance of gratitude, reflect on what they have to be thankful for, and write letters to others. Hopefully, this will be a meaningful way to wrap up the week before Thanksgiving. #EduSky

Wow, yesterday was frustrating. My 6th ELA students are writing double entry journals in preparation for writing an essay. I must not have been explaining it clearly because multiple Ss in each class were confused. It didn’t help to tweak directions class to class. Today will be better. #EduSky

I don’t usually start Christmas music until afterThanksgiving, but this year may be different.
