While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last—because every little girl watching tonight sees that this is a country of possibilities.

My God. We get to listen to her brilliant voice and look at her joyful face for the next four years. We gave ourselves a great gift.

If you think anti-racism is anti-American, you simply cannot lead America into the 2020s.

Normalize uplifting/being proud of those who go to a community college rather than making them feel inferior...everyone has their own path to success

“We have two choices: try to correct behavior by continuing to punish, or spend time building relationships, getting to the root of issues, and helping students to repair the harm they caused.” -#Hackingschooldiscipline @NmaynardEdu @WeinsteinEdu

So grateful for the learning in this session of @factualitygame! Thanks to my @MarsEstatesBCPS friends for letting me join!

“We need to own our own bias... learn our own uncomfortable truths and then unlearn them.” Such wise words shared by Natalie @factualitygame #HappeningNow #AlwaysGrowing

Excited to continue my learning from @NmaynardEdu and @WeinsteinEdu! #Hackingschooldiscipline

“When our kids spend eight hours a day in a system that is looking for reasons to punish them, remove them, criminalize them—our kids do not get to be kids.” -Ijeoma Oluo

Repair harm and restore relationships > blame and shame #dismantleWSC #Hackingschooldiscipline

[Mrs. Drannan @BDrannan]

When managing conflict, I give scholars a chance to share out and feel heard, but want to work on taking responsibility for any part I might have played when things went wrong, acknowledge and apologize. #Hackingschooldiscipline #dismantleWSC

My favorite activity to practice using adjectives in descriptive writing!

[Mrs. Drannan @BDrannan]

Great idea for encouraging students to use the classroom library!

[Kelly Gallagher @KellyGToGo]

My students also “speed dated” books today as they created “What I might read next” lists.

[Mrs. Drannan @BDrannan]

Before and after our quarterly desk cleanout. My goal for this year is to help my students stay more organized! 😬🧹🧼🧽

[Mrs. Drannan @BDrannan]

We use class meetings to teach social skills. My students’ favorite activity is our opener, “Give, Get, Pass” where they can choose to give a compliment, get a compliment, or pass. What are your favorite class meetings activities?? #socialskills #classmeeting #morningmeeting

[Mrs. Drannan @BDrannan]

I find writing to be one of the more challenging classes to create hands-on activities for. This is a punctuation lesson we did! What ways do you make writing hands-on?
