Dear Teacher, Your kids missed you. Not your classroom. Not your content. They missed you. You did that. No easy thing to be what kids need. But it’s less-hard when all they need is you (to be you). Let that be the lift you need tomorrow. Sincerely, Not-So-Secret Admirer

Every child deserves a teacher who cares about them. Every child also deserves a teacher who is supported, appreciated, and treated like a professional.

🔢It's crucial to be intentional with the types of math questions we ask and the patterns in which we ask them. Thoughtful questioning can make all the difference! sbee.link/6vypj9qe73 via @weareteachers @ teachheath #mathchat #edutwitter
