Music supports learning! THANK YOU for helping to give my students instruments and props for some fun music making and learning in the music classroom and beyond! This @DonorsChoose project is about to expire, but can be fulfilled with your help! https://t.co/C63XwpUn3A
@DesideriaMesa 💔 😢….so sorry!
A neglect charge w/ CPS against the guidance counselor sounds reasonable! Also-retweet with your state board of education, local, state, + federal lawmakers & US Dept of Education (Sec Miguel Cardona) and throw Dr Jill Biden in there!
I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?
Differentiation is not just about academic needs, but also relational needs. Some students may need to vent, extra support, a hug for the little ones, or even encouragement to try harder. These are as important as academic needs. Education is relational after all.
We didn’t punish Ss nor loose learning. Learning differently? Yes! Ideal? No! We all know in person is best. More important: stability! @pgcps did the right thing! A wise & courageous choice w/ safety & stability for the entire school community paramount!
Today on @FaceTheNation I discussed Maryland’s ongoing COVID-19 response, including the importance of keeping children in school. We're all concerned about our kids, but many of them missed a year of in-person learning, and we can't afford to keep entire school systems shut down.
I feel bad for educators who can’t find anything to laugh about daily. Yea, our job is tough, but man, when I reflect over my days, kids, and adults alike, do some of the weirdest, funniest stuff. 😂 If you can’t find anything throughout the day to make you smile, look harder.
#PgcpsProud + thankful for @drmonicaceo w/ courage to lead against backlash @GovLarryHogan Yes, in-person is best! But worse for Ss +Ts: inconsistency & instability. @MdPublicSchools take note: take care of your Ts so we can care for our Ss! @SecCardona
2 planning days for schools not yet virtual. Those already virtual, continue without planning days? Did they ever have them? Some return Wed; some remain virtual. Not confusing at all!🧐 THANKS to @pgcps for clarity, communication equity + consistency!
@myeatingproject “When I got my vaccine, I felt brave.”
You Go Girl! It’s ok to feel nervous and scared, but still move forward. Tell them all about about it! 💕 #Covid#CovidVaccine
Same, with some feelings of survivors guilt. The best decision given the circumstances. Thankful to have leaders facing reality, not pretending the fantasy of ‘normal’ exists right now. THANK YOU @pgcps and @drmonicaceo ! 👂@SecCardona@MdPublicSchools
A blessed New Year! Question I asked myself. As I write the next chapters of my life, I will remember that each day is a gift to extend grace to myself & to the people around me. Equally essential is learning to accept grace from others. (Exodus 34:6)
