Created a class web on our last day before fall break. We reflected on our time so far in 3rd grade. Many S’s shared how thankful they are to have our 'ohana that help each other grow every day. Such a heartwarming #teachermoment to feel/see how connected we all are.

@MrsR_Villanueva Thank you for doing so!! My kiddos were so excited to tell me about their race when they returned from recess :)

I gotta say. What keeps me going are my haumāna. They truly are such good people from the heart. I helped start a sprint race for another class at yard duty today and the kids were so thankful.

@MrsR_Villanueva @EAducator Mahalo to @EAducator and @MrsR_Villanueva! I’m excited to give the Queen Lili'uokalani cards to the kiddos!

Thank you @EAducator for your endless generosity and support. She gave me a class set of Queen Lili'uokalani cards to celebrate her birthday and another to gift. Before that $25 Fishers GC for me and another to gift. Of course 1st year teacher @_Kimberly_Q got it! #808educate

@MrsR_Villanueva A4 My mentor, @MrsR_Villanueva has been my biggest motivator/cheerleader. After student teaching in a pandemic, she helped me discover my confidence as a teacher. She always believed in my abilities and provided me opportunities to push myself to see that #808educate

#808educate are amazing tonight! We are on fire! Q4: How did someone you met through education/teacher networks impact you and/or your work? Feel free to give them a shout-out.

@MathManfre A2: As a new teacher, I'd love to learn more about navigating the feelings of burnout or imposter syndrome. Also starting to learn about decolonizing a curriculum #808educate

Question 2! #808educate

@MrsR_Villanueva A1: I'm both anxious and excited to start my first year. There's a lot of learning I'll do this year that's part of the process. Having a support system of educators has been helpful through it all! #808educate

First question....and go! Q1: How do you feel going into this school year? What role might educator community have in supporting you? #808educate

@MathManfre Hi everyone! I'm Kim, a first-year third grade teacher @Waialae :)

@EAducator @MrsR_Villanueva @yourmalibugirl @jonmedeiros That's amazing! Just shows how awesome of a mentor teacher you must be :)

I see new teacher posts on Facebook. Recent college graduates from the Continental U.S. excited to start a new adventure teaching in Hawai'i. Looking to make new friends, surf. Omg. Be pono. Hawai'i ain't your teaching adventure. I don't know what to make of it.

@MrsR_Villanueva @EAducator @yourmalibugirl @jonmedeiros Goodness @MrsR_Villanueva , thank you for the kind words! You taught me the importance of sharing narratives so these stories aren't forgotten. Coming from California, I'm simply here to empower keiki to learn and share their own stories and those of their ʻāina.

@EAducator @yourmalibugirl @jonmedeiros @_Kimberly_Q I'm proud to have watched @_Kimberly_Q grow and embrace all the beauty but struggles of Hawai'i. It is why I recommended her and I am proud to be teaching along side her as colleagues this coming year.

@KristiOda @FixingEducation I definitely needed this today! Teaching summer school has been so fun, but I always forget about self-care and not staying too late.

@FixingEducation @_Kimberly_Q

5 NEW TEACHER MISTAKES 1. You Grade Everything 2. You Want The Students To Like You (This shouldn’t be your primary motive...rather, a byproduct) 3. You Don’t Take Care Of Yourself 4. You Work Alone 5. Staying Too Late

@KellyKwak03 Thanks Kelly! You’re gonna be a great teacher!

@_Kimberly_Q Congrats Kimberly!! Go teachers! 🥳💗

I may have received my BEd today, but the learning never stops! Miss Kimberly is ready to hit the classroom #elementaryed

@MrMedia808 Thank you! It’s definitely been a wonderful experience so far!

Welcome to one of the hardest, yet most rewarding professions to exist! While your bank account may not be full, your heart will. Congratulations!

@KumuLuca Thank you so much!!

@_Kimberly_Q Congrats! Proud of you.

@MrsR_Villanueva @uhmanoacoe Thank you so much, Rae!! Your support and guidance through my student teaching journey has meant the world to me. Especially as I move on to a new chapter of being an EA and a substitute. You’re the best!!

Congratulations to @_Kimberly_Q Future teacher ready to head out there! We at #808educate are proud of you and all the @uhmanoacoe graduates!

@tskawaui @LoriFultonSci As a student teacher, thank you for supporting us when we do fall! It's such a learning journey to tell myself that it's alright to just see what happens and go from there

@LoriFultonSci A1: I’ve mentored a couple of student teachers and I encouraged them to take risks. You’ll never know unless you try! Being there to support others when they fall, is what we should all do😍#808educate

We are using the Q1/A1 protocol tonight. Please respond with A1 and use #808educate.

@PrincipalTam @mcdonald_kecia Thanks for joining! I was born and raised in SF, so it warms my heart to see you connect with us! You're a trooper for staying up despite the 3 hour time difference

Q3 coming up: if you could redesign professional learning for mentors, mentees, and educators across all levels of experience, how should it look differently? #808Educate

@LoriFultonSci A1: as a student teacher, I’m learning everyday that it’s alright when plans fall through. It’s helped a lot hearing my mentor @MrsR_Villanueva telling me that we’re all going through these challenges together. Having fun with the unknown has been helping :)
