I am proud to work in a profession where my colleagues inspire me. We are tireless and passionate about what we do, and we have a great community. We share ideas, support each other, and cheer each other on. The #NJASLSpring21 conference has me reflecting (rethinking!)
During storytime it's important to engage kids and not just read TO them. I usually ask questions as I read, but the #NJASLSpring21 session on the Whole Book Approach made me think about asking kids about book design, shape, size, color choice etc. great tips from @KCareyWrites
I've found my new podcast this morning at #NJASLSpring21 conference! I am really excited to check out Amy Hermon's podcast School Librarians United. @LMS_United
#CSEdWeek2020 is this week! I love the CS First activities for students. It is a great way for us to work on coding while not all in the same place. At the end of class, students share their screen & play their animations! @Tech_FTPSchools @Edward3Tech
Grades K - 2 listened to Thank You Omu read aloud before Thanksgiving Break. In Seesaw, I requested that they write a thank you letter to someone they are grateful for. The letters I got were so sweet! Here are just a few. @MAC_FTPSchool @PGM_FTPSchools
