@BlairMooreBooks This made me cry. The art is divine. The poetic personal description of living with a stutter and the empowering love of a dad all make for a heart-wrenching read.

@SiouxsieW, you and Dr Bloomfield feature in my Russell St Sch, Palmerston North, Yr6 students’ COVID Lockdown 2020 retrospective mural! Included for your contribution to our understanding of the COVID19 science! You two were painted by Shannon (age 10)!

@fuse711 @bcaske77 We need to walk more! That looks awesome!

@longworthed64 ran an awesome play conference! Reflected on all my notes - made this!

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

@fuse711 Ātaahua! And what a great place to display it!

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

@whaeavee Hello from the twittersphere. Be encouraged, both of you! The art your girl has made is BEAUTIFUL and moving and as the mum of a Year 13 artist my heart is literally squeezing with empathy right now.

@gcouros With my grandma every holidays because the holiday movies never made it to her town in time for the holidays!

@NakiTeacher @fuse711 Thanks😁 Super proud of the kids!

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

@fuse711 Thanks for your lovely feedback. 5 days of focused project time, and this is what 11yr olds can do! So proud of their learning journey on this❤️. And as always, I learned plenty, too! Thanks Russell St Sch for placing such value on art by kids!

@fuse711 Here’s the helpful chart from @ellywarnock and my first night last week!

I’m forever grateful to my Standard 4 teacher, Mrs McGuire, who somehow taught me about surface features while keeping my love of writing alive. Unlike the teacher in this gem of a poem. @fuse711 you will like this! #surfacefeatures #writing

@veaglehaslanded @veaglehaslanded I love this one. Device-savvy donkey encounters book for the first time. Not about digital citizenship per say. But good for a discussion starter about relevance of paper books!

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

What’s your response to how Peter Beck( of Rocket Lab) feels about fiction?

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

@fuse711 It’s a great book!

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

@fuse711 Thanks @fuse711! It was pure magic! Here’s a slide show: https://t.co/WJEKKHRLSB

Skip counting in fives! Random apostrophe!

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

The cross country maths continues! Ever-growing personal totals. And nearly 200 laps as a class after 4 sessions. Proud? I reckon! Today - tally marks and skip-counting in 5’s #nzmaths #crosscountry

[caroteaches @caroteaches]

Start at your teacher’s spot, collect a popsicle stick as you lap. Graph your results. Competition minimised. Personal goals maximised. Clocking up laps as a class celebrated. Personal progress visible. The class cheers when they hear it’s x-country! (Maths, too!)

@jemyoshioka @philllllljames Lynley Dodd wrote lots of her Hairy Maclary books on computer paper, too! 👍🏼
