I CAME OUT TO MY STUDENTS TODAY 🌈 which is why my smile is so big that my eyes are closed & you can see my teeth/gums. I am so grateful that I am at a school that holds space for me to be my authentic self with my students...even if it took me until the last leg of the school year to get here. ❤️
My favorite part? One of my students said “omg Ms.Moore, I just have to say you’re my favorite teacher! Thank you for being yourself and being so brave.” 😭 .
All year long, we have discussed being inclusive to people who are different than us and the importance of individual identity. This book was the perfect ending to that. I read this today and tied a little project to it that allowed me to come out to my 4th graders. I’ll be sharing more on that later, but for now, I’ll be closed eye smiling until the end of the school year because nothing feels better than being accepted for who I am by my favorite people....especially the ones who are barely entering double digits. 💕 Today was a good day.
