We were able to make Vowel Town this year!! We named it "Our Town" 🙂 #firstgradephonics #TCRWP #ACSBeirut

Rasheed was found building Arabic words today. #firstgradephonics #TCRWP #ACSBeirut

[Helen Hamza @armstrong_hamza]

Rasheed has returned from his adventures in New York City. The children are reminding each other to keep his mask on because he was in another country. #firstgradephonics #TCRWP #rasheedthelion

@howie_hua How can I make the lesson fun and memorable for all.

[Helen Hamza @armstrong_hamza]

@salmaland Just finished Jasmine & Fire, enjoyed it so much. I am American married to a Syrian, and have lived in Beirut for the last 4 years. Your book is so true about Beirut (and Lebanon), and reminds me of how heartbroken I am to be leaving, but also relieved to be leaving.

How 'Puddle Parenting' Can Teach Our Kids To Be More Self-Reliant https://t.co/dntBld9N4f
We definitely need more puddle parents, more puddle adults, more puddle jumping!

How's virtual learning going for my students? Great! They started to have their own Zoom meetings where they share their screens, send chats to each other, share hosting rights, create pictures together on whiteboards AND play number bingo together. #ACSBeirut #firstgradezoomers

Researchers studying toddlers in Kenya found that having an older sister can make a significant difference in their learning. The downside? Big sis might miss out on her own schoolwork and play. @aizenglobe

Day one of Word Detectives and they were using their recess time to read signs trying to find their badges. #ACSBeirut #TCRWP #worddectivesonthejob #firstgradereaders

@YaseenSawsan Would be a great additional way of building class community when learning from home and encouraging our students to be reflective, kind, and encouraging.

[Elif Weiser @MrsWeiserWR]

I absolutely love the blog feature on @Seesaw My little ones are obsessed with leaving encouraging comments on friends’ work & ending it with “love you!” 😭 it IS possible to maintain our class community while remote 💙

Government of Lebanon: Keep schools open in Lebanon - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/1AqRjNvF76 via @Change

[Helen Hamza @armstrong_hamza]

Just received this message from a student via the parent. This was a MUCH NEEDED message during this time and a wonderful reminder of how much we mean to our students, even when we only see them online. #firstgradeisthebest #makingconnectionsviavirtuallearning

[Helen Hamza @armstrong_hamza]

Budding first grade writers! Posting a sketched story to Seesaw to share our thinking and planning. Look at those details, especially the masks! #firstgradewriters #ACSBeirut #TCRWP #seesaw #doingourbestwithvirutallearning #WearAMask

[Helen Hamza @armstrong_hamza]

Rasheed arrived to an empty classroom, but he found his new first grade friends on Zoom. Rasheed is ready for first grade fun with phonics. #ACSBeirut #firstgradephonics #TCRWP #learningonzoom #WearAMask

[Helen Hamza @armstrong_hamza]

Definitely please check in with us because I can guarantee you that many of us are in tears by the end of the day.

No matter what kind of teaching we’re doing, one thing is constant: somebody is always there to tell us we’re doing it wrong. #teachertwitter https://t.co/JhY5OucDfm
