The other day I misplaced my keys. I was very stressed and my students noticed. Today a student came to school with a small wrapped present for me . . . A LANYARD! I teared up instantly. Love this work. Love these students! #specialeducation #teachertwitter #edchat #education

"Who's excited for spring break?" is a question I no longer ask my students. "How are you feeling about spring break?" is the empathetic revision. Counting down the days can create unspoken stress or pain for students. #Education #Edchat #Teachertwitter
