Remember when we argued about whether kids should be allowed to have retakes? That was fun.

A5: Get up early and stick to my morning routine. It helps me care for myself before taking care of others. I need my alarm clock to yell inspirational things at me or at the very least “stop hitting snooze and take care of yourself! #resiliencechat

A6: Even a few minutes of mindfulness can reset your day and change your mood. Educators all get free Headspace accounts and I highly encourage people to take advantage of it. #resiliencechat

A7: I’ll carry this important reminder with me and try to keep passing it on to other educators. #resiliencechat

Excited to share about the importance of educator wellness tomorrow! #amle2020 #amle #AMLE20

EVERYTHING that happened this last week reminded me why our work as teachers is so important and why so many of us are having such a hard time this year. To teach well you need to be well. Take care of yourself and each other.
