Sometimes you open your email in the middle of a quite-stressful day + out-of-the-blue there is an email a student wrote just to say they appreciate how the class is going so far + yes, for the thousandth time, this work is really, really difficult but students, despite everything, are incredible.

Reason #192391 that I continue to love connecting with other teachers here:
1️⃣ found a poem activity from @thevogelman.bsky.social
2️⃣ had students to read/annotate/discuss
3️⃣ then asked them to write their own "ingredients" poem
4️⃣ each student shared one line to create our "classroom ingredients"

The lesson I'm taking from Friday and into this week?
I don't mind that the "pile of stuff to do" will still be sitting atop my desk as I walk into the classroom tomorrow.
Having those kneel-down conversations mattered much more, and every single one of them was worth it.

Cell phones have been an academic distraction and a source of social drama in schools for almost as long as they’ve been in existence. State legislatures are taking action.
