One thing I do as a spec. ed para is write notes of #affirmations and #praise. My go to ones are: “I LOVE how your brain works!” And “you can do hard things”
Today, my student gave ME a sticky note after doing a fun project together:“I love how your brain works Ms Kai” my heart ♥️

One of my happy places: I’m a reptile lover - got to hold the most cuddly blue tongue skink named Blueberry and sweet girl boa named Rosalita 💚 at Mr Drew’s Animal Education Center

This greatly messed with my student loan repayments. And I’m so confused and angry rn. Did some digging to find out what happened with my IDR plan and found out this (see images). Should have expected something like this to happen with the attack of the DOE. #education #studentloans #politics #DOE

Reminding our students during a time of change and missing one of our favorite teachers: “you can do hard things. You are getting so strong at adaptability. You are amazing. You are all loved and we’re happy to have you in class.”

Had a great classroom discussion today! We used weather to describe emotions and talked about how we have emotions we are not our emotions. And emotions come and go, just like weather.

Started reading Serpentine Valentine by Giana Darling in my spare time - it’s a dark academia sapphic romance retelling of Medusa. Definitely worth reading! Peep this dedication page! 🖤

I read today that Apple has removed international woman’s day (March 8) from its calendar - joining google with its removal of recognition months and national days. As an educator we still recognized woman’s history month (& Black History Month in Feb!) #womanshistorymonth #history #teach #celebrate

“I didn’t come here to play cards” - President Zelenskyy of Ukraine. 🙌🏼🇺🇦

As an American I am embarrassed. You, sir, are the example of a true leader, President Zelenskyy - our country was the disrespectful ones.

Today the school I work at brought students and staff to the mountain to learn how to ski, we’re a title 1 school, most of these kids would never have a chance to experience this without our public amazing school.

He said “teaching anti-American” what he meant was anything BIPOC, and LGBTQIA anything about the REAL history of America, diversity and inclusion.
