@IKEAUSA you are the worst. I placed an online order in August, it arrived damaged. Still waiting on my refund after contacting you 4 times!!! I will never shop at your store again.

@alisonp_thomas @MorganD2512 I hope getting outside more at school is a silver lining to this pandemic. I’m so concerned that virtual learning will lead to children being in front of a screen all day!!

This will be the most challenging school year we have ever faced. I hope we are all prepared to meet students’ emotional needs along with their academic needs.

Educators face several challenges when schools reopen, such as students’ academic recovery following what’s been dubbed the “COVID slide.” @TheMrGodsey examines the issue and points out that the biggest concerns will extend beyond the academic ones. https://t.co/yjg2qA4NLL

AMSTI has a lot of virtual PD available this summer. I have always learned so much from any AMSTI training I have attended. https://t.co/fkF7KrQc84

As we plan for school in person or home, Remember all the rules & expectations in the world can’t help a child who needs to burn off energy. let them go to back of class/room & do sit-ups, push-ups or planks to help them focus & stay on task. Kids aren’t designed to sit all day!

[Amanda Brown @AJB9382]

I’m concerned we are going to have to sacrifice best practices in education in order to comply with social distancing guidelines. I’ve heard that group seating is not recommended and neither is sharing materials. Young children need to be able to socialize and work together!
