.@MayorBowser at the @WTUTeacher appreciation event on Friday knowing full well she was going to announce on day 1 of #TeacherAppreciationWeek that @dcpublicschools wasnât going to pay us our retro pay when originally promised.

Show your appreciation by paying your teachers when promised on a 3 year overdue contract. We do our jobs and go above and beyond EVERY DAY while your office works from home, messes up our pay and benefits and dodges our calls when we spend hours trying to fix it. Enough.
Itâs #TeacherAppreciationWeek, and I am grateful for @dcpublicschools' teachers for creating joyful learning experiences, encouraging excellence, and inspiring the next generation of leaders. #ThankATeacherđ
ALT Graphic that reads "Have you thanked a DCPS teacher today?"

Things this government could do for teachers on Teacher Appreciation Week:
â¶ïž Actually pay @WTUTeacher members the money they are owed on schedule
â¶ïž Require @DC_Charters to spend any matching funds received for teacher raises on teacher raises
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you, DC educators, for going above and beyond for all students in the District. Whether you know a teacher, have a teacher or were a teacher, please join us in showing a teacher in your life extra appreciation this week. #WeLoveDCTeachers
Latest report: #DC teachers reflect on whatâs working and whatâs not during Teacher Appreciation Week
âLetâs see what our school leaders are saying our young people need. Letâs hear what our young people are saying that they need.â dcnewsnow.com/news/local-newâŠ
In TRUE @dcpublicschools fashion, they let us know that they will NOT be giving us the retro pay when they promised.
They told us for #TeacherAppreciationWeek
So disrespectful!!!
Enough is enough. DCPS continues to fall back on their word year after year.
@WTUTeacher
Wow! A coworker saw us gardening one day and took pictures! I wish I took pictures every time we went out (like today haha) @HendleyES thank you Ms. Dautruche for the pics (if anyone has her Twitter let me know!)

Wishing you a great end of the school year too! â€ïž
Me: "Are we topographers?"
Student: "I am!!"
Today we mapped the @HendleyES garden.

It has been a while since I posted. And we've been in the garden since my last post but I unfortunately don't remember to take pictures often! Here are today's. We weeded and planted @HendleyES! They were so attentive and focused! @stemeducation @STEM #outdoorlearning

2/15 afternoon â Budgets shared with Principals/Uploaded to Websites/Shared with LSATâs
2/21 â Petition Window Closes
3/1 â Principals submit finalized budget
WE ARE ON BREAK

In honor of Black History Month, we hosted a screening of a virtual @StepAfrikaHQ performance for our students. Afterwards, our @HendleyES students discussed together what they observed using their dance and music vocabulary. Thank you Step Afrika for your amazing performances!
Today @HendleyES we were with @AuntiekeK learning about markets. We will create our own market next week! I'm so excited to see our students participate in this as part of our #BlackHistoryMonth celebration.
Hey everyone, I have a Donor's Choose project! I'm so excited for this project! We will be creating art for Black History Month, using prominent Black artists as an inspiration.
This month, donations are doubled! Any little bit helps! Thank you!
