Holiday spirit week!! MarvinWardES WS/FC Schools

We had to take a break to enjoy the snow ❄️❄️❄️ Happy Friday!

We rocked the fun run earlier this week! MarvinWardES

Been homeschooling a 6-year old and 8-year old for one hour and 11 minutes. Teachers deserve to make a billion dollars a year. Or a week.

I loved getting to see and talk to some of my first graders today! It made my day ❤️ MarvinWardES WS/FC Schools

There will be no high stakes testing this year, and yet all over America educators have continued to teach and inspire their students online. I hope the powers that be realize we do what we do because we love children and not because a test is held over our heads.

Having video talks twice a day on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s make the week so much better ❤️ first at noon during our normal school time and the second at 6 for parents who are still working ❤️ #doitforthekids #distancelearning MarvinWardES

When you have 20 people (parents, teachers, followers) saying positive things & 1 person saying negative, if you focus on the negative, then you are saying that person’s opinion is more important than the other 20. Don’t get wrapped up with negative people.

Teachers plates can take no more. They currently have five jobs. Teacher, curriculum developer, IT for students, therapist for parents struggling, & office worker. All while trying to survive the pandemic w/ their family too. Let’s all give teachers grace & support right now.

It’s incomprehensible that we are making many concessions in education but there are some making no changes in expectations for teachers, with some even adding to their workload. This is creating a more stressful situation by ignoring teacher anxiety and exhaustion. Lighten up!
