As we all process last week’s events, I’ve found I’ve been seeking comfort and solace in some of my favorite picture books. Here are some titles that have made me smile, and have given me some hope. Thought I’d share in case it might help someone else too.
A3: I am the first person to admit that I don’t know everything, and I embrace my mistakes (I love how @miss_fix1 phrased this!) I think that showing this to ALL students is so so important in their learning process (as well as my own!) #ECTEACHES
A5: I think that it’s such a great time to really experiment with different apps and platforms that allow student involvement and connection from a distance! I am reading everyone’s tweets about Jamboard and am super interested to try it out for myself! #ECTEACHES
A4: Since I’m still a student myself, I haven’t had the chance to transition yet from virtual to a hybrid model, but I can imagine that it takes lots of patience, support from colleagues, and self compassion to work through the challenges it presents. #ECTEACHES
A2: I have not had the experience of working with an ELL one on one yet in the classroom, but I’m tutoring a third grader this semester on zoom who is dual language (Arabic) and it has been a challenge at times.. we have relied a lot on translate technology! #ECTEACHES
A1: hey everyone! A little late to the party but wanted to still be involved! I’m Celia and I’m a senior Early childhood Ed major! This is my first chat! #ECTEACHES
My favorite quote from the film: “I hope that schools become locations for healing, so that they may become locations for learning” ~ Monique W. Morris (author of the book Pushout). @EDDeptEtown
Wow. Shocked, aware, and hopeful for the future are just some of the emotions I have after watching “Pushout: The Criminalization of Black Girls in Schools”. 10/10 recommend the film to anyone looking to educate themselves on the injustices within the school system. @FilmPushout
We’re look for kids in grades 2-5 to become official members of the Kids Ask Authors Book Reviewers Club! They’ll receive advanced copies of books not even in stores yet- for free!

Ran into @CeliaMartone at the Mosaic House Open House today! I learned all about how they have made the house more accessible for all students. #etownengage
I had such a great time this morning working with my first grade friends on a Google Expedition about caves! Thanks to @mrschmil and @ReenyMorell for their support with this!
Students in @ReenyMorell went on a Google Expedition and explored a Slovakian cave with the amazing @CeliaMartone. They were able to identify stalactites, take a screenshot of them, and then upload them to Seesaw to label and show their parents. #WSDTechWarriors
Something cool about having a mom who’s a teacher? Comparing portfolio work! Absolutely loved finding this gem today! My favorite part? Hands down the type writer 😂 #technology
