Love how all the teachers in @MrsSwinCMS class are supporting students decoding, encoding & comprehension skills during small group instruction utilizing #fundations and #Geodes! #ELA @ColleenCook82 @mscollinssped

Today we are very excited to welcome our Hybrid B 6th grade students. We kicked off the day with a virtual assembly on Zoom! We are excited for an awesome 20-21 school year with our newest Chargers! 🐴⚡️ #wearechurchville #igniteD205

Teaching during a pandemic is exhausting, taking the weekend to recharge, hang with my boys and some time to prep for more in person students next week. #workingmom #pandemicteacher

A3: an administrator said to her teachers yesterday, “teach less and connect more” ... such an important reminder of what matters #G2great

We needed a movement break today. We estimated how many times we could run around our desks in 2 minutes while social distancing! #socialdistancemovementbreaks #ourestimateswerewayoff

Love this!

Things do not have to be picture perfect this year- allow kids to see our struggles so they feel safe to struggle themselves! @gcouros #igniteD205

Feeling energized and ready for a new year! But I still needed to grab more coffee and I come back to my workspace being stolen. #cutecoworker #firstday

[Katie Swiniuch @MrsSwinCMS]

Feeling like a first year teacher in year 13. Thanks George Couros for the reminder that it’s all about connecting with kids, I can do that. #igniteD205

I'm hearing from many parents of young children of the heroic work teachers and administrators are doing to make the start of this surreal school year feel special. I'm not surprised. Educators are heroes. And are often left to fix the messes of the rest of society.

SO TRUE. I don't understand doing hybrid while streaming in my at home kids at the same time. Either shorten the day (I'll check in with at home kids in the PM) or allow me to teach new content to kids at school & provide material for home days (practice, videos, acitivities).
