Teachers, you are amazing and your role is so very important. Don't forget that the burdens these students carry into our classroom can be safely unloaded and left behind. Let's make this school year the best one yet!!This starts my 22nd year of teaching middle school. Yesterday was quite possibly one of the most impactful days I have ever had.
I tried a new activity called “The Baggage Activity”. I asked the kids what it meant to have baggage and they mostly said it was hurtful stuff you carry around on your shoulders.
I asked them to write down on a piece of paper what was bothering them, what was heavy on their heart, what was hurting them, etc. No names were to be on a paper. They wadded the paper up, and threw it across the room.
They picked up a piece of paper and took turns reading out loud what their classmate wrote. After a student read a paper, I asked who wrote that, and if they cared to share.
I’m here to tell you, I have never been so moved to tears as what these kids opened up and about and shared with the class.
Things like suicide, parents in prison, drugs in their family, being left by their parents, death, cancer, losing pets (one said their gerbil died cause it was fat, we giggled) and on and on.
The kids who read the papers would cry because what they were reading was tough. The person who shared (if they chose to tell us it was them) would cry sometimes too. It was an emotionally draining day, but I firmly believe my kids will judge a little less, love a little more, and forgive a little faster.
This bag hangs by my door to remind them that we all have baggage. We will leave it at the door. As they left I told them, they are not alone, they are loved, and we have each other’s back.
❤️ I am honored to be their teacher.

History and the ingenuity of people are so fascinating!! I’m thankful for those who have been willing to try something new!This photograph shows the devastated city of San Francisco one month after the April 1906 earthquake. It’s high resolution, so you can enlarge it and look around.
Perhaps you’re wondering how photographer George R. Lawrence was able to get an aerial photograph in 1906? He managed it using KITES of all things.
From the deck of a ship in the San Francisco harbor, Lawrence used 17 kites linked with piano wire to lift, maneuver, and control his 49-pound camera 2,000 feet above the city. He used a spring-operated shutter that he triggered from the ground by current from a battery that activated a magnet coil in the camera to take the picture.
This photograph made Lawrence famous, even though some skeptics thought it was a fake simply because they didn’t believe the improbable feat of using a ship and kites to get this angle…. But if you blow up the image you can even see people moving around in the rubble. This photo was no fake, and it is as remarkable now as it was then.
