I’m so proud of how deeply my students think.

"I have been falsely accused before and I would be upset if i were in a situation like the Salem Witch Trials. It must’ve felt mentally exhausting to be antagonized just for existing."

I think I’m gonna love this school year and my new students. 💛

On the first day, I usually give my classes a short slideshow introduction to me. Then I ask them to write a short introduction about themselves.

My favorite part: “What makes learning funner for me is when we can vibe together, talk and laugh together. I HATE a serious a** teacher.”

I think this is gonna be a great year. 😂

I’m trying not to cry while grading my students’ papers.

We read an article about the Salem Witch Trials in my 11th grade American Literature class.

They said: "I think in the old times, diversity was very scary."

It’s scary today, too, friend. And that breaks my heart.

Overheard today in a middle school history classroom:

“I don’t know what D-Day is!”

“Dude, just use AI!”

“No! The last time I used AI, I got lunch detention.”

One of my students today during my reading lab class: "That is some bull, S, H, and some other words!"

He knew I'd call his mom if he tried to swear, lol.😂

Behold the weirdly specific and unique insults that my students wrote on the whiteboard yesterday. 😜

8th graders are special. Lol.

Also, keep your teacher friends in your thoughts and send us good vibes as we head into winter break. ✨

8th grade student, the week after the 2024 presidential election:

“I don't like America anymore. Deport me! I wanna go back to France."
