Take five! 🖐️🍎 Each week, I'm giving five random US educators $100 gift cards to a few of my favorite indie bookstores. RT & follow for a chance to win one. I'll notify the five random winners on 5/15 at 2 PM PT.

@kaaauthor I’m a 2nd grade teacher and was reading The One and Only Ivan to my class. Can I record myself reading the remainder of the book for them to listen to from home while we’re shut down?

Changes are happening quickly now, but still only on 1 piece of bread - Dirty Hands. Can you spot it? #WashYourHands #CAwow #engageD64

[Mrs. Mata @MataMouse]

Of all the things we tested, dirty hands was the 1st to have visible mold growth. Students weren’t in school today, can’t wait to show them tomorrow, I’ve never been this excited about mold before! #WashYourHands #CAwow #engageD64

[Mrs. Mata @MataMouse]

Germs are everywhere! Day 1 - In this experiment we used bread, like a sponge, to absorb germs from our hands and things we touch all the time. #CAwow #engageD64 #CAsmiles

A simple, yet important message for all kids to hear. Sharing this video (and a little piece of my childhood ☺️) with my class tomorrow! #CAsmiles #CAwow

[Fred Rogers Productions @FredRogersPro]

On this day in 1968, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood aired nationally for the first time on NET, the precursor to @PBS. Fred’s message is still as relevant today as it was 52 years ago. Thank you, Mister Rogers, for believing that all children deserve quality educational programming!

Penguins have knees just like us, who knew?! We do now that we participated in a live webcast with penguin biologists @calacademy. We even got to practice our waddle! #CAwow #engageD64 #CAsmiles

Carpenter 2nd grade can’t thank @D64Elf enough for our amazing @TowerGarden grant! Mark your calendar to support ELF in funding more awesome grants for our students. #engageD64 #CAwow #CAsmiles

[Mrs. Mata @MataMouse]

Had to take a 1/2 day today, came back to school tonight to get some work done and found this left for me. Some days are harder than others, but little things like this remind me how lucky I am to have the best job in the world. #CAwow #CAsmiles

[Mrs. Mata @MataMouse]

It’s not everyday I get notes like this from students. Love when they share their cultures and learning from outside the classroom with me! #CAwow #engageD64

[Mrs. Mata @MataMouse]

Kids feeding kids! Giving back on the day after Xmas @fmsc_org! #CAsmiles #CAwow #engageD64

[Mrs. Mata @MataMouse]

Our classroom book exchange was a huge success! Best quote ever, “this is the book I’ve always wanted!” Now that’s music to my ears!! #CAwow #engageD64 #CAsmiles

[Mrs. Komenda @MrsKomenda]

Another successful “Carpenter Cares” gift drive! The Carpenter Staff donated gifts to bring joy to about 30 different children. The staff donated about $3000 worth of gifts! We certainly are the “Little School with a BIG Heart!” ❤️🎅🏻🎄 #CAWow #CAsmiles #engaged64
