A 🧵 about reading:
Last night, we were working on an optional project for school, and my 2nd grade son took out his marker and started writing. He explained prefixes and added ‘un’ to ‘like’ to show me how prefixes worked. 1/

Please, please demand things that make education better like smaller class sizes, more teachers for each student, and LESS testing. Demand that schools teach phonics and sound reading strategies. 8/

But please don’t take it out on the teachers in the midst of this slow rolling trauma of the last 3 years. They are the glue holding any of this together 9/

Ok, but the best were the car bumper and the taco piñata.

On this World Mental Health Day, I casually mentioned my therapist to two new-ish colleagues. When I am honest about my journey with mental health, I am true to myself, and I always hope that my honesty opens a door in someone else’s life. Mental healthcare IS healthcare.

Curious about the education across the nation - are there places where there are not massive teacher shortages?! Where morale is high?!

Today, my son excitedly told me it was library day. He said, ‘It’s my favorite place in the whole school!’
A year ago, I was worried he would never want to read. To think!
Here’s to raising a kid who is an awful lot like his momma. Here’s to favorite things on Friday.

What an incredible end to the first day of school. My mom gave me this book by @withlovecleo for my new journey in education, and my son read it to me, showcasing his fluency and understanding. I may have shed a tear - such a sweet moment.

My kids are super excited to start school today! Sending lots of good vibes to my son’s teacher especially, since she will hear about his fractured hand no fewer than 100x today. Bless these humans who love our babies ❤️

My little Hokie was so excited to wear his shirt to meet his Hokie grad teacher! He was excited to learn his PE team would also be named for his favorite school 😍. We are excited for another great year @oaks_es
