I’d love to help your child build confidence and have a successful school year! 💛

🍎 If you’d like to help me make an online classroom feel a little more personal this year, I’d be so grateful. I’ve created an Amazon Wish List with supplies that will help me build meaningful connections with my 8th grade Earth Science students.

💌 This year, I’m trying something new! My goal is to surprise students throughout the year with handwritten encouragement notes, birthday cards, congratulations, stickers, and little pieces of “happy mail” to remind them they’re seen, valued, and cheered on every step of the way.

Whether you choose to purchase an item or share this post, thank you for helping me create meaningful connections with my students!

❤️ Your kindness and generosity will help make an online classroom feel a little more like home and remind my students that they matter.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting both me and my students. It truly means more than you know.

Black, Brown, and Indigenous women have been warning us their whole lives. They are not surprised by what’s happening right now, we just weren’t listening.

If you’re white and you feel shocked, scared, or “awake” right now: this is your sign to stop centering your surprise and start listening, learning, amplifying, and taking responsibility.

Don’t ask anyone for emotional labor. Don’t DM people of color asking where to start. Choose to learn from the work Black, Brown, and Indigenous women have already shared. Support their work in real ways (sharing, donating, showing up, protecting) and commit to having the harder conversations in your own white circles.

And yes, this includes q***r & trans women of color, because liberation has to include them. If this makes you defensive, pause and ask why. Then, keep going anyway. ❤️ Erin
