Miss Rifai

Started my lesson of Introduction to Procedural Writing for my grade 5 with explaining the meaning of procedural writing and the use of transition words. Due to ramadan instead of writing out a recipe, we learnt how to plant a flower. It was a great day!

My friend @MissRifai was telling me yesterday about how she is looking forward to celebrating Arab Mother's Day on March 21st. Her excitement in sharing her culture with me reminded me of how important it is to celebrate different cultures. (1/2)

Cultural traditions should be shared and celebrated. Here is a list of books that celebrate different cultural traditions.(2/2) @PJLanguageArts coloradoparent.com/books-that-cel…

Friendly reminder...

It costs nothing to impact the world through kind gestures, good deeds, and through your example.

“I don’t get why teachers are quitting. They knew what they were signing up for.” NO, THEY DIDN’T!

Advice learned from my mom, a 37 year retired educator: “If you always do what’s best for kids there will always be a place for you in education. You will also piss some people off along the way. Get used to it.” Tag a teacher who always does what’s best for kids👇. #thatonekid

I don’t know about you but I believe every child deserves a standing ovation at least once in their life.

America: the ONLY nation that thinks the solution to improving education and making schools safe is to remove books from schools and add guns.

No matter if you are staying or leaving education, thank you for all that you've done for kids. You matter. You made a difference.

Now I’m curious: Teachers, RT this if you have been called “mom” by students🤔❤️

You never really appreciate someone until they are gone… unfortunately, by that time it’s too late.

We have always had SEL in schools. It was called recess, unstructured play, and classes like Music, Art, Physical Education, etc. but they have been systemically taken away or reduced because some have decided testing is more important than learning.
