To whoever is this backpack’s owner, I’m sorry I was too shy to say hi in real life, but you MADE my day!!! 😍🤩📚 #FrontDeskSeries #TopStory

Steven Singer: Posting Learning Objectives in the Classroom is Still a Dumb Idea

“There’s always some know-nothing hack from another field who pokes his nose into the profession and makes pronouncements like he’s an expert.”

Sound familiar?

@Scholastic What happened to the video of @lester_laminack reading Saturdays and Teacakes? It won’t load from your website and it isn’t on your YouTube channel. Can we get it on your YouTube channel? It’s so great to hear his voice and cadence!

Investing in our schools and students > The Hunger Games.

Shameful these educators cannot freely receive the funding and resources their students need.

Each year our class decorates a tree for the library with decorations based on a book that we have read. This year the kids chose Front Desk by @kellyyanghk (the voting wasn’t even close). They had a great time brainstorming and creating ornaments based on the book

Special education should be a service for children rather than a place they are sent.

Allowing students to “struggle” through the math brings out some of the best thinking! Today we did a number sense routine called “Convince Me That”… The thinking “proof” my students demonstrated made my math heart so happy! #middleschoolmath #lcpsmath

Yesterday, one of our 5th graders discovered Three Keys in the library, and half the class gathered around to see it, speculating on what lies ahead for Mia. Can’t wait to read this next!

[Andrea Demasi @Ms_Demasi]

This is the first year that @mr_jburke and I have read Front Desk by @kellyyanghk as a read aloud, and our 5th graders are loving it! They are so invested in Mia and her journey

The 🐧‘s @CoolSpring_ES were ready to learn bright and early Monday morning! Hands down the best artwork all through the building!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Most great teachers didn’t start out that way! But…

1) They reflected on what worked and what didn’t.

2) They learned from their colleagues.

3) They always kept their focus on the students.

Every teacher can be a BETTER teacher!

[Cool Spring Elem. @CoolSpring_ES]

We were so glad to cheer on our 5th grade students during our Farewell this morning! So proud of all of our kiddos! #DreamBig #community

@DChristakos84 Do they have fried chicken though?

[Andrea Demasi @Ms_Demasi]

@DChristakos84 I don’t understand the question. What else would there need to be?

[Andrea Demasi @Ms_Demasi]

@DChristakos84 I vote for Royal Farms #GasStationFriedChicken

It's finally here! Our new kid's book, Fauja Singh Keeps Going, is story has been more than 100 years in the making.

It’s also a labor of love that fulfills my own childhood dream of seeing Sikh characters in major bookstores and libraries around the world.
