I noticed an uptick in AI content on Pinterest. Whether it's labeled or not.

What I didn't know was Pinterest was pushing AI. I had to go turn it off in settings

One kid saw me giving them to others and said, "I bet I'm not getting one" and then totally lit up when I handed him his. *I* get a certificate?? Yes, you do!

Also, older kids who have struggled a long time in school love them a lot because they grew up watching other kids get them and never getting one themselves. Also, the gen alphas love to see their names in cursive

I highly recommend giving kids certificates. You can make them very easily from a canva template. You're the teacher. You can give certificates for whatever reason you want! And once a kid sees other people getting one, they will do anything to get one for themselves, so put that in your back pocket

I think I will. As a parting gift for those kids who I saw give effort or excellence.♥️♥️♥️

My most challenging class showed their behind so bad… my mentor teacher ( a teacher some may have had last year for Math) walked by and walked in and yelled.

🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m so glad I resigned.

T-minus 11 days. 10 school days.

#BlackSky Tomorrow is December 1st!

Shout out to whoever said this last year but…
GIRL!!! Do not try to do all that New Year’s Eve cleaning on the 31st. Do a little each week of December… then the 31st can be a “touch up”.

And get your black eyed peas EARLY Y’ALL! I heard shortages last year!🤣

Shout out to therapy. I used to tear up to Nat King Cole. Told my therapist, “I can’t be on the verge of tears EVERY TIME he comes on. You know how many times he sings in December?”

THERAPIST: “CRY!”

Cause when you let them flow, you don’t have to feel all verge of tearsy!

My favorite time of year and some of my favorite people are no longer here to celebrate with.😭😭😭

Healing is when we stop needing the past to be different.
What was is complete.
What is now is enough.

Good morning friends, it's another #EasySunday, 4 more before 2026 steps in.
I don't know about you, but I can't wait for 2025 to end!

What are your easy plans for today?

Mine, the usual, with a little trip to the beach if time allows.

Remember what we say, what ever you do today, keep it easy.
