I’ve always loved joining commencements––the culmination of years of hard work and sacrifice. Even if we can’t get together in person this year, Michelle and I are excited to celebrate the nationwide Class of 2020 and recognize this milestone with you and your loved ones.
Alright, that’s it, enough is enough. All you graduates of 2020? After all those long hours you’ve put in. All the hard work you’ve put in.... you’re gettin a graduation! And that’s all there is to it! This week! I’m there with tassels on! #SGNgraduation !!!
We want to give a shout-out to @d95socialmedia, where teacher Marcia Day drove around to all her students’ homes and left distance learning Rock Cycle Labs in their mailboxes.
Today is Thursday which means it’s time for another House Challenge... Throwback Thursday-style! 5th grade teachers are kicking it off with our TBTs... 5th graders are sharing their pictures on @Seesaw#wearemaywhitney
I can’t stop laughing about this. Mostly because chances are high my 5th graders will have an accidental potato teacher at some point in this eLearning journey! 😂🙋🏼♀️
Today, @GovPritzker announced that Illinois will continue its suspension of in-person instruction for another 30 days, through April 30. Check out the video below to see his message to the students of Illinois. https://t.co/851zQEc3i8

Anyone out there a parent or kid experiencing a school closing right now? ✋ I’m offering a fun learning opportunity for cat-loving kids tomorrow! Join me for a live reading of my picture book, Kitten Lady’s Big Book of Little Kittens, and a short Q&A… https://t.co/i3iohUxbYQ
@MichelleMeier @MahrD95 Haha a lot of smoke and mirrors going on! If the printer was making any kind of noise it would have been a totally different scene!
Thursdays are for House meetings so the 5th grade teachers have a challenge for you! Earn House points by sharing a book selfie... bonus points will be awarded if you’re wearing your House shirt/color!
#LVChat#ShiftThis A6 I've learned that it's ok if people are not immediately on board. I might have to be patient and allow others to see how things are working before they're willing to join me. Sometimes you've got to be the guinea pig! https://t.co/tMRlUCMd8f
#LVChat#ShiftThis Q6: When educators encounter resistance (students, parents, colleagues, admin.), what strategies can we employ? What are some healthy practices? @jlevine80 @AshleyLVUSD
#LVChat#ShiftThis A5 Letting go of that control is hard! Best way to overcome is asking for help, knowing that not everything will go perfectly, and seeing the positive outcomes. https://t.co/s5hGY9EXca
#LVChat#ShiftThis Q5: What are some fears or obstacles that educators face when implementing self-directed learning, and what are some ways we can overcome them? @jlevine80 @AshleyLVUSD
#LVChat#ShiftThis A4 It's a great way to get to know your Ss. It's also a way for Ss to see each other differently. Favorite Genius Hour memory was a student, who had trouble socially, present on a topic that blew his peers away! It was a great way for Ss to connect with him. https://t.co/57nCwsh6zr
