Please consider helping the Dickerson Family in their time of loss and sadness of Mrs. Nicole Nicholas Dickerson. Nicole was an amazing Wife, Mom, Welch Elementary teacher, and friend. If you can’t help financially please pray for her family. gofundme.com/f/868dsp?utm_c…

@AsugarC @mark_rising @ipsd204 for when a child struggles. A lot of good can come from “the village” all engaging in this work and learning.

@AsugarC @mark_rising @ipsd204 Mental health professionals led these sessions for parents. You should come next year. Also, I know I’d want my son’s teachers, who see him many hours of the waking day, to be skilled in best practices to support their mental health as well as be aware of warning signs

IPSD 204 Mental Health Symposium. Amazing community and family turnout to support all our students. @ipsd204

Excited to be in attendance at @ipsd204 ‘s 1st Mental Health Symposium! Here with the lens of both a teacher and a parent in the district—one session for profession needs, one session for personal! Proud to work and live in a district that prioritizes this important work.

@Lyricalswordz @MelAlterSmith Yes!! Thank you! It was killing me that I could picture it but not find it 😭 thank you! 🥰

@Mrs_Porada @MelAlterSmith Was it this? twitter.com/lyricalswordz/…

@MelAlterSmith you once shared a Sonnet (Hyperdoc?) lesson that I feel may have been created by @Lyricalswordz .. Besides Shakespearean, I remember loving the variety of modern sonnets in it—had its own section or two even. Can you help me find what I’m looking for? 😭

How fun!

@jimknight99 @holliepoetry ‘s “Nobody Told Me”, to 5-6 expecting moms (and fellow English teachers) at baby showers 🙂

What is a book you've given away at least five times?

Are you as excited about the announcement of Taylor Swift's concert as we are? Check out our book recommendations to correlate with her latest album drop!

Looks like a blast!

@scorpiomom79 Beautiful!

@Ms_Gianni @GombertGators So sweet. Mikey told me all about his “feeling teacher” yesterday and what “empathy” is and I’m living for this SEL for kinders 😭😍

Look who came to visit us this month! The Grinch left all these goodies for us. We are so excited to make his heart grow through kindness. @GombertGators #GrowYourHeartThreeSizes #Grinch

@pe_debi @ShelleyMayH @noragee73 @GombertPta @GombertGators My kindergarten son told me all about it! He especially liked the “jump boxes” 😊

Gator Fitness Challenge was a success! Thanks @ShelleyMayH and @noragee73 for all your help. Glad I could help @GombertPta with their fundraiser. Lots of sweaty happy students. @GombertGators
