I survived 23 adult people floating through my class today. On top of teaching. Ooofta. (I'm proud, and tired. My ND teacher peeps get the weirdness of these observations)

I found out yesterday (thank you lovely coworkers for preparing me) that there's going to be three "groups of guests" coming through my classroom today. As a newer educator, it's always a bit nerve-wracking. Just #EduSky and #Teacher things!

🌟1:56am: Stirred out of a sleep cycle thinking about today's to-do list. Looked at the time and realized, nope it isn't my body waking me up before my alarm clock. At least I don't feel bad, just annoyed.

The arts and humanities make connections between lived human experiences, emotions, culture and society. It allows us to consider our humanity and explore what it means to be human. We need. Pay people please. See benefit. Next!

I've taken to telling my students that I will never fail them for showing me thinking and attempts and wrestling with material, even if they're 'wrong'. But if they don't show they're thinking...I can't see what they know/are trying to show. (Gr.7 ELA)
I might be more ok with AI were I not an English teacher and exposed daily to the way it’s undermining an entire generation’s ability to learn how to think complicated thoughts with language, all while making the work of teaching real writing more fraught, tedious, and adversarial!

I forget how much I need to just let my mind wander. There's something in writing and creating that needs time to just be still.
