@kadamssl Wow... definitely thought contagious diseases tended to become less deadly the longer they existed/evolved. I am glad you posted so I could research more! Thank you! Regardless, LESS deadly is not NOT deadly, so it would still be an issue.

@virginiog Gracias, amigo! 💕

@EmilyVanDuyne @clhubes Kids absolutely need play. As an educator, I can tell you this is the best way for them to learn. Make the game more interesting if you're bored. If you're bored, you're boring. Be silly. Goof around! Add your interests to the play. It matters a LOT.

@CallMeMoprah YES! Thank you! My teal hair hasn't seeped into my brain and made me an ineffective teacher yet either! 😂

[Marla Savage (she/her) @awordonthird]

NO WE DON'T. 👏👏👏 Behavior charts are HARMFUL. PERIOD.

Perusing Amazon to build my wishlist for the fall and I saw THIS ABOMINATION 😡😡😡 IT IS 2021 WE DO NOT NEED PUBLIC SHAMING BEHAVIOR CHARTS!!

@susangbarber Yessss! Grammar is the least important part in my opinion. I teach third graders. Content above all else, always. As kids get older, content expectations do too. And how about our ELLs?

@Upquark8 @RadioFreeTom Por que no los dos ?!

@edisonpublicsc1 @missruffio @MisterMinor Under statement of the year! 🥰😍 Though I am absolutely wild about my staff developer. I just want to have Alicia Luick and Cornelius Minor work in my classroom with me allll day. A girl can dream, right? This is totally likely to happen.... RIGHT???? 😭

John Hattie argues that we can't presume the worst when it comes to #learningloss. Instead, we must diagnose and triage, and focus on what we've learned both in #education and in the ways in which #students have grown this past year. https://t.co/RvvXxaZbx9

@JC0404 THANK THE LORD. 😭😂

@jkirk___ How old are these kids?! I feel like this is above my third graders, but I'd love to do something silly like this.

YES. SO MUCH YES.

Not fair to say. I am not Christian. Christmas is Christian. My husband was raised Jewish. It has always felt like our cultures were unimportant and we were forced to participate in something we didn't want to. Like it or not, it's harmful to some kids. You never know which ones.

[TS.Davis @204Devils]

@Bethany_Duster @JennMacBrown The Elf is ties to the secular celebration of Christmas. Yes the Winter Holiday does originate from Christian celebration. However over time X-Mas to any non Christian has become a secular thing. The Elf is no more a religious symbol then Frosty the Snowman
