I’m in school for education right now. So it’s crazy that I never thought ever in my journey of school that I’d be learning about teaching during a pandemic. Or relating normal studies of Ed to go with our setting now of a pandemic.

The bathroom meditation moment is so true. I’m not a teacher, but sometimes if I’m somewhere and feeling overwhelmed and need a good 5 minutes to recharge or a good cry is a great scape! 😅

I'm proud of you for killing it! You inspire me to be a better educator every single day.

thank you for being here, excited for you!

Thank you for sharing. I went through a school shooting this past year as a first-year (middle school) teacher. Know that there are others who feel the same way during drills. You are an awesome, caring teacher! Prayers.

Absolutely love your content and how you try to find the positive in everything. I want to encourage this with my new year 6 class this session ✨️

I’m a first year 8th grade science teacher this year and the students start the 23rd but I’ve been doing PD since the 4th. Every time someone asks me how I’m feeling I tell them with every day I feel more prepared and less prepared at the same time. I can already feel the anxiety seeping in. However I am already establishing boundaries for my mental health so I’m able to pour in to my kiddos when they come. Thank you for sharing your story and what you’ve learned with us. It helps more than you know to know that everyone is in the same boat.

lockdown drills are the one thing i am always so anxious about every school year. thankfully i’ve never had to deal with a proper lockdown but when i was in elementary school we did a lockdown drill and they made it a little too realistic and i had to be stuck in this tiny little closet with my classmates and i honestly feel like that traumatized me a little bit. So now whenever we do one in school i get a panic attack and it’s truly such a horrible feeling. Thank you for talking openly about what you’ve been through

Ms. Brittany, I am still deciding on my electives for tenth grade and I was not able to decide a few months ago because ninth grade was a tiring and difficult year. I have been working on my novel this summer as well as a few short stories and poems. I hope to balance my writing alongside my schoolwork. In a few days, you will begin teaching your middle school English and writing workshop classes. I take delight in the late summer winds blowing over our presence as we watch the onrush of young autumn. I love you

Love your reading corner-space! Also, just wanted to give a heads up incase you haven’t played it yet. The meme game is hilarious, but it is an “adult” game.

I wish we had your set up. We only have to report one day before the students come and everything else has to be on our own time. It's fine sometimes because we can pick our hours, but it can be hard to make yourself go in on your own time. We are starting without masks, but we'll see. We don't have a big outbreak in our county right now and our schools are super small. I have 13 in my homeroom and that's considered to be on the bigger side. :) What books did you use for your presentation? I would like to see if I could pick them up. :)
