My goal every day is to shine a little sun on my students’ lives. To know that message is getting through to my students is the greatest gift I could ever receive for Teacher Appreciation Week. *cue the tears* #TeacherAppreciationWeek #WhyITeach

[Monica Meadows @MonicaMeadowsID]

@AlanaMReynolds Wishing you all the best!! My last day was in June and it was the best decision I’ve made for myself. Reach out if you need anything!!

Students work harder for teachers they like and respect. Relationships before rigor.

Yesterday we had a thesis showdown on @padlet! Students had 3 minutes to work with their partner to write a thesis statement. After the 3 minutes, we voted on the strongest one. #writingcanbefun

Can we add that these middle schoolers kept a secret for over a week AND were dead quiet getting into position?! Only for the best!

[Monica Meadows @MonicaMeadowsID]

We love you Ms. Cleveland! December will be here before we know it. In the mean time, fight hard and stay strong. 💗 @Ms_Cleveland @WakefieldMiddle

@WakefieldMiddle Red Wolves practiced hexagonal thinking this week. Students created a hexagon with information about themselves. They then worked together to connect every classmate to each other! #BacktoSchool2021

@WakefieldMiddle Red Wolves practiced hexagonal thinking this week! They made a hexagon about themselves and had to connect similarities to other students. Every student found a connection with someone else in their class.

We'll always remember you, Samantha Josephson.

[Emmie Thompson @UofSCSGPres]

On behalf of the student body, I am glad justice has been served for Samantha Josephson and her family. The Josephson family will remain in our thoughts and prayers. We are committed to making sure something this heinous never happens to a student at our university ever again.

So great to see all our @WakefieldMiddle Ss and families today during the 8th grade Drive-thru promotion ceremony! Such a nice day! Summer- here we come. #WeDidIt! #1MoreDayThenMeetFree

Thank you @WakefieldMSPTSA for the treats for our fabulous teachers!

A reading life hatches from student choice and dies with the lack of it. @middleweb @TanKHuynh https://t.co/ioxjuQ3K5d

@AlanaMReynolds @CathleenLacey Love pear deck!!

[Monica Meadows @MonicaMeadowsID]

Long thread but worth the read.

[David Bowles (has left this place) @DavidOBowles]

I’ll let you in on a secret. I have a doctorate in education, but the field’s basically just a 100 years old. We don’t really know what we’re doing. Our scholarly understanding of how learning happens is like astronomy 2000 years ago.

Most classroom practice is astrology.

""We’ve created learning environments that, because they are designed on average, cannot possibly do what we expected them to do, which is to nurture individual potential." - @toddrose

How can programming/coding, specifically the program Scratch by MIT, be used in the ELA or social studies classroom? Newly introduced to the program and love the possibilities but struggling to make it cross-curricular! #T2T #STEMeducation #CrossCurricular

This is unfortunate as many teachers (myself included) utilize community contributed subtitles to support ESOL students. The transmission of valuable knowledge and educational contents could suffer from this decision.@YouTube #collectiveintelligence #participatorylearning
