@ghannam04 Congratulations! ⛳️

@MrSTEmurray @LEGO_Education I love this!! I was just considering ways to use them in Math besides just focusing on the bumps as a measurement….this helps a ton.

[Vanessa Witherell @VWitherell]

@googlecalendar Absolutely! You got it - I wasn’t sure if I was missing a setting option to make that happen.

[Vanessa Witherell @VWitherell]

Hey @googlecalendar #GoogleCalendar users - if I wanted to print out a daily schedule like in this image, is there a way to print JUST certain hours, like 8-3 and keep this format? Want to do away with what is in red and hopefully give more room to time slots when printed.

@ideaillinois I looooved these meetings and miss them! So many good things accomplished ❤️💡

[Vanessa Witherell @VWitherell]

@UHSPrincipal304 That looks great!

[Vanessa Witherell @VWitherell]

I love that our school sends home the #SupplyList with the end of the year report cards! I use #GoogleKeep to keep track of their lists as I slowly purchase items throughout the summer so come August I’m not stressed about that. Lists are shared with my husband too! #ParentHack

Spent the better part of this week w/ @Teach_Golden SI3 at @MonmouthCollege The future of education is BRIGHT! I’m so thankful to get to know this Reflective group of Scholars, I can’t say enough about my experience with them this week & wish we had more time in person together🍎

@alicekeeler United Junior High in Monmouth, IL is looking for a math teacher! You were here a few years ago for PD - come back and teach here with us!!! We can go to the wine shop again and get pizza afterwards… https://t.co/8QDAvRl7G9

I was curious what the end of the year would bring as an #instructionalcoach but it’s been all about reflecting and looking forward. This teacher wanted to revamp her #smallgroup #Daily5 planning & organizing for next year; she is testing it out this week! #edchat #edutwitter

Hey @Target - my 8 year old’s after-school drawing isn’t wrong 🎯 🛍 🛒 🏃🏼‍♀️ I love the “a good trip” note - she knows the difference between a quick trip and a good trip 😂😂 #targetmom #targetteacher @target_teachers #somanybags

[Vanessa Witherell @VWitherell]

@JoJochica Yahoo!! Thanks! If you send me a PM that includes your school email I’ll get a link set up and sent your way.

My favorite brainchild of the day: visual prompt labels for #WorkOnWriting ✏️ as part of #Daily5 Emojis make these prompts way more visually appealing to kiddos! 💃 👍 👏 #instructionalcoach #edutwitter #edchat

@JoJochica We have a presenter at 2:00 that day. Would Tuesday, May 3rd at 2:00pm CDT work for you?

[Vanessa Witherell @VWitherell]

@JoJochica Oh yay! I’ll verify tomorrow and then send you a PM!

@spacecoyotl @IanBoothby My daughter wants to know if this is a gif of your cat? Because if it is, “oooh, they put their cat into the book!”

[Vanessa Witherell @VWitherell]

Our 8 year old enjoys reading; lately it’s been nothing but graphic novels. I want her to enjoy other books too but I know her interests cycle. Concerned #graphicnovels don’t have enough content? She just applied & explained what “polydactyl” means because of this book. #edchat
