Slavery was Legal.

Colonialism was Legal.

Jim Crow was Legal.

Apartheid was Legal.

Legality is a matter of Power, NOT Justice.

So proud of our poets! They were the runners up for the Elementary #BronxWrites Poetry Slam Finals for @Dream_Yard 🎤

They wrote, revised, memorized, and practiced their original poems and gave it their all! ☺️

If you haven’t had the privilege of getting the @BioBus to your school, now is the time!!

My students had a blast exploring plant cells, tiny organisms in pond water, and looking at soil through a microscope. 🔬

Today’s professional development at the @IntrepidMuseum was absolutely amazing!

Inspiration Academy: Civically Engaged in Exploring Change: We looked at war time posters, walked around the exhibits, analyzed z-grams, and got a “behind the scenes” look at upcoming exhibits! 🤓

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.”

I truly enjoyed the first session of the City Teacher Advisory Group with the @MuseumofCityNY for Civics in the City 🤓

It’s such a diverse group of educators that care about students, civics, learning, and the future of our communities!
