Sharing our happiness and purpose with @Renee Houser #r16litinstitute. Good way to remember our why! @salyergal

@RandallRaiderHS So cool! Congrats, Emma!

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH I've always created videos for my class, but School@Home has brought a new level in. I think this will continue when we return for difficult concepts to watch over and over if needed. Love my Screencastify! #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH It is easy to get lost in class when there are 120+ other Ss vying for the Ts attention and new curriculum and... School@Home levels that. The kids that need you show up. It has been a humbling experience. Because you know what? I need them, too. #CISDRocks

@WestoverParkJH we began our Google Meets journey w Ss staring at each other and giggling, but slowly we’ve morphed to playing games together. Thank goodness for this tech because I miss my kids! #olddognewtricks #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH Want to see JH Ss laugh and get silly. Play charades over Google Meet. Lots of fun last night as we played. Next week we try Pictionary! #CISDRocks @salyergal @darlazion

@WestoverParkJH I may not be able to hug them goodbye, but I can leave them notes in their journals. I’m gonna miss those last sweet moments together. #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH We've spent lots of time building community in our classes, even using artwork created by Ss. They picked their class name at the beginning of the year. Each class has a hangout and they use them! I miss MY kids. #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH This week Ss began school@home class contests. Each week we have 4 of the same challenges and a bonus. This week's bonus: Who can find the funniest meme? #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH Anyway, like I was saying, teaching is like juggling. You can direct instruct, flip it, PBL, online learning. There’s Google Meet, Google Voice, Google Hangout, Google Classroom, Screencastify, Kahoot. There's BrainPop, Khan, FlipGrid...~Bubba Hinders #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH on Tues. Ss had an option of writing prompts. Many chose to write about school@home while others chose to write a story from an animal’s point of view. #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH Ss read independently at home and then interact with classmates through Google Classroom and the Question of the Week. This week:
What motivates your character? Is this something that motivates you?
#CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH Today Ss begin a daily challenge in Google Classroom starting with Emoji Pictionary. Who will collect the most badges and be named the Brain Teaser Champion? #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH Ss have an opportunity to hear their English Ts reading through Screencastify recordings of Read Alouds. #CISDRocks.

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

Ss will be working on a choice writing lesson through https://t.co/xFROxYzeZ7 this week. I'm hoping to see some great imaginative stories! @WestoverParkJH #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

#wplitladies welcome Andrew Monroe talking about his book, A Leaf & Pebble, today through Google Meet. Author visit during quarantine? Oh, yes we did! @WestoverParkJH #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

@WestoverParkJH Loving the book flood created for our school@home. Read alouds by our 8th grade #wplitladies and special guests plus all the free resources posted by our own @skrabits! #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

Love to receive Ss comments on feedback. Google has so many ways to stay connected when we are #ALLIN. My @WestoverParkJH Ss rock. #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

This lady is a great leader, teacher, deliverer of needed things including supplies, love, laughter, and knowledge. RLA @WestoverParkJH couldn't survive without you. Lisa, you is kind, you is smart, you is important! #WWLD #CISDRocks

[Tami Hinders @MrsTHinders]

Love my 8th WPJHS RLA team. Keeping it fun and holding each other up during these new experiences. #CISDRocks
