School shootings are not fucking acts of nature, like hurricanes and tornadoes. They're man-made acts of inaction, of cowardice, of corruption by all lawmakers who refuse to pass laws PROVEN BY DATA to stop preventable, senseless shootings like in Uvalde.

Venn Diagramming in 4th grade. Is that a word?? It is now. #scholars #usd497

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

4th graders used their PAT for a pajama day complete with blankets, stuffies, and flashlight reading!! Friday was 🔥 @usd497

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

4th graders like to “play” with pattern blocks too! Should I tell them they are doing math?! Quiet Time for the win! @usd497 @responsiveclass

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Morning meeting with a partner share! Love seeing my students and guests make connections. Keep on building that class family! ❤️ @responsiveclass @usd497 @kryangrant

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Gallery walk to see what classmates think! What kind of classroom community will we build this year? How will we make it a space for all? #usd497 @responsiveclass

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Listened today in our morning meeting. The feedback was unanimous, so inspiring. "The new dawn blooms as we free it," she said. "For there is always light, if only we are brave enough to see it – if only we are brave enough to be it."

A poem that will be read in History and English classes for a very long time.

A great lesson to incorporate in your class. A 22 year old captured the moment perfectly. A teacher’s treat.

Thank you!

Students across America are watching this & tomorrow teachers will have acknowledge what is happening in DC today. You don’t have to be a civics teacher to know that this moment is going to be very difficult for so many educators across the country. Here are some free resources

Been thinking about this today. I’m going to hold space, answer questions and use correct terminology https://t.co/USo8ycv65H

Raphael Warnock to CBS: "I'm just so very grateful to the people of Georgia. They sent a strong and clear message last night when they sent a person who grew up in public housing, 1 of 12 children in my family, I'm the first college graduate, that I'm serving in the U.S. Senate."

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Yes!!!!!!!

[Deb Haaland @DebHaalandNM]

A voice like mine has never been a Cabinet secretary or at the head of the Department of Interior.

Growing up in my mother’s Pueblo household made me fierce. I’ll be fierce for all of us, our planet, and all of our protected land.

I am honored and ready to serve.

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Yep. Apologized to my kids after overreacting about some missing watercolors. Owned it.

[Glennon Doyle @GlennonDoyle]

It’s so important to be a bad parent often. This way if our kids become parents, they will be able to forgive themselves for being human- Because they’ve seen us do it. Well done, smarty pants.

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Mrs. Mitchell got a fancy chair for her classroom in the basement! Yes!! 👍🥰🙏🏻

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Love!

When your six year old announces to their small group online that they were late because they had to poop...

[Lauren Mitchell @Mitchell_4thGr]

Yes! YES!!! Nothing about right now is “normal”, stop trying to make it be so. @ann_lounsbury

While assessments and new curriculum are valuable, this year provides good reason to apply the brakes—and in some cases, to rethink practices entirely.—via @WeAreTeachers
