@SnowBuniCO @JohnLegere Hi I work at a Title 1 high school for students with disabilities and behavioral disabilities. I am asking for items for flexible seating in my classroom and to create a community environment. https://t.co/y1D8a733hx

@heymrsbond Of Mice and Men is actually one of summer reading books for the incoming 9th graders (not my students/subject)read it in high school but I was really thinking about whether it was a good choice or not. I am happy to see I am not the only one.

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

@PedagogyOrNah I love this! I did this with my students the past couple of years

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

@tdj6899 @NICKIMINAJ That one too! Most definitely!

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

#HipHopEd @tdj6899 “Teaching for the moment” just made me listen to “Sing for the Moment” by Eminem real quick lol. Definitely agree that we need to be in the moment with our students and also realize where they are as people and where they are going.

@chrisemdin @FutureDocMartin @_CrystalMWatson @accordin2jo @acooktweet @harveycanread @bouldershoulder Will do @chrisemdin I will send it through IG. It will not let me for some reason through Twitter.

@chrisemdin #HipHopEd Thank you for unpacking the maladjusted during the IG live today. It definitely confirmed a lot of things I have experienced as an educator and reminder to shine my light no matter what.

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

@earthsaylove @_CrystalMWatson This inner work takes time as well that not everyone is willing to expose or think about. We are always unpacking but the unpacking needs to be done. I am still unpacking

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

@earthsaylove @_CrystalMWatson Yes. This is also another way that educators can build that bridge with their students through shared experiences.

@chrisemdin #HipHopEd

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

@senoritasmith23 @_CrystalMWatson #HipHopEd I agree. However, we also need to give students the tools to use what they know in various ways as well

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

@KingAdjapong I definitely agree with you. I did not embrace being my authentic self as a teacher until 3 years into my teaching career.

[Cruz Connections @ConnectionsCruz]

@earthsaylove @tdj6899 I definitely agree. Students need to be taught how to communicate their authentic selves in various spaces but also explain to them what the reality of our world is (whether we agree or not).
