I found this video to be quick & helpful for explaining the history of #JuneteenthDay

“Books are as important as almost anything else on earth... Books help us to understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die." - Anne Lamott

I must thank @PVtravelBug, @Marisa_Mathias, our students, & everyone else who helped me to reach this understanding. When I got hired @ PV 5 yrs ago, I didn't realize how harmful our mascot is. Without them, I would have never visited a reservation or trained @SmithsonianNMAI

[Dr. Leah Jerome📍🌎 @PVtravelBug]

Change the mascot.

@missmarchiano @urbaniso @MissLATeach @tracyrecine I'm in! Let's fight racism and hate by reading and writing, and by developing empathy!

@Unacast & @washingtonpost are showing how each state is socially distancing. Worth sharing with our students and hearing what they have to say! @MrMorone @VMattPVRHSD @MrDAmico

@lizfarrell11 Just give them all to Kate. Isn't that what you normally do? 😂

If Pascack Hills and Pascack Valley continue to call themselves the Cowboys and the Indians, the district risks missing out on an opportunity to make clear its commitment to pursuing inclusivity and equity. @PHTrailblazer https://t.co/3Qbvj3jWnP

Word constellations are an out-of-this-world way to review root words & vocab w/ a little personal creativity thrown in for good measure. These 7th graders & their understanding of root words shine! 🌟 @edutopia @cultofpedagogy @DaringEnglish @teacher2teacher @ncte

[Brett Conrad @PVHSConrad]

My students are really good at visualizing vocabulary:

@VMattPVRHSD @MrMorone @RossiVirena @dianamcpv @missmarchiano @PPfleging I just finished "Their Eyes Were Watching God". I love how Hurston can bring a scene to life, but I think I like her short stories better than this novel.

This could be a great resource for helping our students improve their digital literacy!
