Maybe if we narrow the requirements for elementary to the 3R's in times of crisis it would help parents out.
1. Read
2. Rest (naps)
3. Recess

@SteadmanAmy Yes! Absolutely! We would love to!

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

Do you have a kiddo whose birthday is being disrupted by social distancing/quarantine? The boys & I would love to make birthday cards to send to kids who aren't getting to celebrate the way they're used to in effort to cheer them up. Let us know if we can help! #bdayinquarantine

Took an IEP day today. A huge shout out to @chgarcia0209 for running my dragon club for me today. It looks like those #MadScientists had a blast. Pop rocks, soda, and balloons. #dhefamily

@Ms_Mendoza_dhe I miss being a Mad Scientist with you! The school store does sound fun.

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

Had a blast in #MadScientistClub today! Ss used playdough to change matter! Ss then voted on our next experiment. #science #dhefamily #investigations #dragonclubs

Our epic team is celebrating #NationalDonutDay today! Thanks @snordenWSUproud, @chgarcia0209, @TheAlex_Martin, Jeannette, Dona, Sarah, Tyson, and Julie for all you do everyday to pit kids first!

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

@Ms_Mendoza_dhe Will do!

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

Our Pirate Mystery Escape Room was a huge success! Ss worked together & solved comprehension mysteries to get the keys, open the chest, & escape the classroom! They are begging for another! #EscapeRoom #ClassroomFun #halloween2019 #Pirates

@susanrogers260 @snordenWSUproud @chgarcia0209 @TheAlex_Martin It was total last minute thing lol. Maybe we should have grade levels provide tacos once a week/ month lol.

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

In honor of #NationalTacoDay, my team decided to celebrate with this awesome spread! Thank you to @snordenWSUproud, @chgarcia0209, @TheAlex_Martin, Tyson, Dona, Jeannette, Julie, & Sarah for celebrating tacos & teamwork today! #tacosarelife #DHEfamily

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

So excited!!! It was the first day of Mad Scientist Club @DHE_Dragons! We had a blast w/ the Great Cookie Dunk! We asked "Do cookies float or sink in milk?" After, the scientists voted on our next experiment! Can't wait for our next challenge! Love my #DHEfamily! #ScienceFriday

Thank you @MrsMarshall261
for a fantastic #ksedchat!

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

A6. Other Ts are a great resource. There are so many amazing things happening, reach out! I also love asking Ss how they would like to learn. I incorporate it where I can!#ksedchat

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

@alma_henry Yes! A couple times. I may need to bring them back out!

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

A4: I don't use busysheets often. One time I turned a reading passage into a mystery game. We all became detectives, magnifying glasses and all, and looked for clues to solve the case. #ksedchat

[Amanda Hawkinson @anhawkinson]

A5. Just like most other things we want to see. Model it. Show others how much fun your class is having and how much learning is taking place. Positivity is contagious! #ksedchat
