A lot of the world is shit right now. And no, we can't just look away. But I want you to know it is okay to *also* look at what joy and beauty we have left around us. Not just okay: it's necessary. The good is what makes fighting the bad worth it.

First blossoms of the year.

We have 9 weeks of school left! Right now we are running low on wipes and stickers (2-5). Are there any awesome people willing to help us finish off the year with the supplies that we need? #education #teacher #clearthelist #kindness www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Thank you so much @alaneadams.bsky.social for all of the wonderful books you added to our classroom! My students were so excited when they saw them. 💕

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

Soooo many of us in my building right now. Mostly due to having inside recess all week due to the cold. These kids need time outside!

This Day in Labor History: February 20, 1917. Leftist women in New York City, led by the anarchist Marie Ganz, held a big protest against high food prices. This led to a boycott to drive prices down. It is also a great window into the history of women and household organizing on the left!!

Help is needed‼️We are running low on headphones. My students use them daily during reading and math time☺️Would any kind donor help me clear them for my kindergartners 🫶A RT would also be super helpful☺️ #clearthelist www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Please share if you feel that everyone deserves to have full access to the written word if they want full access to the written word. Some progress in reading thus far...we have so much work to do if we want to help kids write for freedom and joy. #Skywriting dyslexiaida.org/understandin...

I read a book today called Stolen Words and we discussed the indigenous boarding schools. The kids got so heated up and we had an amazing discussion. And now simply reading this book will be illegal soon.

So much money and time wasted on unnecessary assessments that are not developmentally appropriate, a quick snippet of what they actually know. Questions can be misleading. It doesn't matter if the kid is having an awful day. Lots of unnecessary stress on everyone but the publishing companies.

We need free healthcare, preschool and college. They want us to have kids but who can afford that with student debt and healthcare costs?

These pencils are my middle schoolers favorite! They are on sale if anyone wishes to share. I also have snacks for our snack bin. @craignewmark.bsky.social @kanekavi.bsky.social www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

DO NOT HOMESCHOOL IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MEANS OR THE KNOWLEDGE! I'm so tired of hearing kids call themselves stupid & believe it because they were homeschooled & are so far behind their peers. Many times as soon as you start to get them going & believing in themselves they get pulled out.
