Tis the Season of Giving…Yet, my heart is grieving…My many years of teaching young children of diversity…
Just a few of the myriad of issues of today affecting our precious children:
Divisiveness in the Leadership in government affecting their education and safety…book bans, prejudices…gun safety…
Conflicts in the Middle East… World Hunger and Peace….
I Will Hold Onto Hope For Their Future...
First Posted December 2019…
Had so hoped for President Biden, Vice President Harris first term…
Along with Secretary of Education…Dr. Miguel Cardona would have all had a better opportunity to provide those much needed resources and programs with implementing policy changes necessary…to provide a strong education for our precious children…
With frustration, we are still waiting, today …
Many of those same issues from many years prior, especially these last four years since, caused by of all the divisiveness and lack of giving , our precious children are still dealing with gun safety, curriculum issues, teacher shortages; may have even gotten worse…
My Holiday Wishes…Our Precious Children…
Tis the Season of Giving… There is still the Magic of Hope…
And may. still have another opportunity to continue… making it all happen…

All this chaos…
Our precious children have been watching, and have definitely been negatively impacted these last few years…
💔🇺🇲
And then we wonder why….
We teachers need support and resources…
WHAT CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED FROM TRUMP:
Mocking the disabled is cool…
Never apologize…
Never admit you are wrong…
Name-calling is cool…
Science is stupid…
Empathy is for losers…
Be afraid of anyone not white…
Cheating is acceptable…
Bullying people is good…
Stealing from charities is ok.
Reading is a waste of time…
Attacking dead people is fine…
Distorting the truth is normal…
Always blame others…
Always take credit when no credit is due…
When will our precious children be a priority???
One of the best memories of my teaching was when our precious children attended the Scholastic Book Fair…
It was on held in our Media Center for a whole week… Even during an late afternoon or early evening time, convenient for Parents and Children…
They were all so excited… and so proud to buy their very own book…
And now here we are today…
With all the divisiveness caused by our authoritarian government here in Florida…
Will Book Fairs be banned as well?
How much is enough???
This was my last very special Thanksgiving post from November 1st…2014…
Our precious children even moreso today need to feel loved and safe; provided with the tools that foster their Educational Path to a Successful Life Full of Heart…
Being at a school with a diverse population, I have found this time of year is quite a stressful time for the children…In addition,with more expectations from such a demanding curriculum than ever before…So many of my children came to me struggling because their lives are so difficult…
As their teacher, I must keep the rigors of the classroom curriculum moving along with understanding and inspiration…I reach out to my young parents providing them with knowledge about providing their child a daily reading and homework time…Encouraging parents to put their child to bed at an early bedtime…I use myself as a role model for my parents and children…Because, I myself have to be ready for school by 6:30AM..I must be in bed by 7:30-8:00PM…I share so much of personal habits of organization with my children and their parents…
It is my hope that I will empower my children and parents to appreciate these values that will foster their child success in school…
Some of my parents will…However many do not… Their child may struggle…
It will always be my responsibility to provide the safety and structure…Through this beautiful season of “Fall Holidays”…Providing Love and Giving Thanks…
Our young precious children start out with Love and Inclusion…
Very disappointing…
Yet, with all the divisiveness in our Country…
Our precious children do reflect what they experience…
💔🇺🇲
I So Believe in that Hope…
If we can emphasize the practice inclusivity with Love and Acceptance of those who are different... Especially in homes and our schools...Our precious children will grow up with that Love in their Hearts...
My years of teaching and dedication to our precious children… has given me the opportunity to advocate for their lives…
My heart is breaking for our precious children who are currently being affected by the unrest between Israel and the terrorist group Hamas who is occupying the Gaza region…Where innocent Palestinian and Israeli children are being killed… injured…
And now because of this unrest and uncertainty in our World….
Our precious children are being killed in their respective countries… Because of a certain group wanting to eliminate another certain group of people, who they believe do not belong in our World…
And right here in our Country…Many of our schools are not able to keep our children safe at school…due to a lack of gun control… Causing many of our children anxious and frightened in coming to school…
Where do we go from here???
I Declare World Peace 🕊️
