These visit me sometimes for lunch but I have been unavailable for several days. They have been asking and asking when they can come back. I had quite a crew today! ❤️ they go to a new building next year! I will miss them!

I had so many readers excited about our new books today! These students couldn’t put them down!

Some friends of mine met their October reading goal! So we celebrated with treats!

TC: We cannot be complacent with our status quo if the status quo of others is less than.

Our Ss, every single one, are the inheritors of the world we help them to create. We must teach them how to end racism.

We must show them how to love.

First Friday of the school year selfie! We made it! It was so nice to see students. Despite the challenges (and there were so many) it was a blessing to be back in class. Photo credit to Amy Spears, engineering teacher extraordinaire!

A8 #tmstlap Utilize the hook questions when planning and remind myself with every lesson that I need to show up everyday for my Ss.

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A7 #tmstlap I think about my ss and their set of needs. I focus on their goals and my mental state realigns and I can dive right in.

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A6 #tmstlap I will remind myself that teaching is more fun when risks are taken. Ss get more out of the time you have with them too!

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A5 #tmstlap I tried to use an iBook today and it wouldn't air drop. I learned that I need to figure out what I did wrong and try try again.

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A4 #tmstlap I love theater/drama/music! I utilize it when I can, and it is a great ELL strategy because it promotes comprehension!

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A3 #tmstlap I listen to music that gets me motivated and try to plan activities that I would like to do. If I would like it, they will too.

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A2 #tmstlap attempt to make learning fun every day. Use great new tech ideas where I can.

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A1 #tmstlap Ss had to search for puzzle pieces to spell out the word symbolism. Then put them together to see the topic for the day

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A8 #tmstlap assign students to create a comic strip showing a scene from a novel read in class. Lots of apps and sites available for this!

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A7 #tmstlap Use other teachers names in my lessons "don't tell Mrs. Cook but" They feel like they are doing something wrong and stay focused

[Lonni Long @LongTroyELL]

A6 #tmstlap put an item related to the lesson in a bag. Have students reach into the bag guess the item and how it relates it to the lesson
