Betty White broke barriers, defied expectations, served her country, and pushed us all to laugh. Barack and I join so many around the world who will miss the joy she brought to the world. I know our Bo is looking forward to seeing her up in heaven.
A5: Often S's do not like small group projects because they don't know how to work effectively within them. It is the teacher's responsibility to model and teach effective group work strategies. Part of the project IS collaboration, and it should be treated that way #ElonEd

Could it be that students have been taught that their voice doesn’t matter? How can they contribute well if they don’t feel like they matter? How can we build students up and foster a sense of community before we expect them to work in small groups? #ElonEd
A4 I build in mindfulness in our day. We normalize articulating how we feel and what we notice with our bodies with no judgement. Shout out to @Mindful_Schools for all the amazing training I have been fortunate to receive. #ElonEd

This is my ninth year teaching first grade and the start of it is like no other. We are over two weeks in and exhaustion has set in. Saying that the needs for students, teachers and caregivers is high is an understatement. This is unsustainable.
