Crazy idea for @JeffBezos. Your company has taken some flak for not paying taxes and worker conditions. What an amazing gift it would be if @amazon stepped up and pledged a huge sum to help save the very rainforest that bears its name? It’s on fire, and the world needs heroes.

@IndianTrailES @AGHoulihan @UCPS_MonroeNC A4- we need more balance on our grade level. Some of us do a great job with content and other with eliciting wonderings...we need to share this equally to get to the why and then the what.

[Sara DeFazio @DefazioSara]

@IndianTrailES @AGHoulihan @UCPS_MonroeNC Wondering, communication and positive discourse, asking whys, motivation and work ethic, perseverance

Schools across the country are ditching the traditional parent-teacher conference for academic workshops, where it's the parents who are learning the skills their children need to master. https://t.co/5aqfoqbzy9 #BacktoSchool #Back2School
