Such a fun way to think about if we want Pluto back as a planet or not! @eaepanthers

[Jason Reynolds News @JasonReynolds83]

We talking about the graphic novel! Come through!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

@jkirk___ Wow! This would be nice!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

@PresidentPat I embed my video into my platform. Sometimes I show it through zoom as a class, sometimes I let them click on it and watch themselves, but they don't have to "go anywhere" to watch.

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

If you're frustrated with parents on zoom, give them something specific to help their child with. It makes the world of difference and there are beautiful things that will come of it.

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

One thing I appreciate about @eaepanthers is that PDs consist of using things as Ts as a practice for using it with our own Ss... using @padlet today for RI3.1 asking questions before/during/after a close reading!

Dear Students Who Don't Like Being On Camera,
I see you. I know you don't like turning it on. And I'm not going to ask you. When you are ready, shine bright. I'll be here to cheer you on.

Love Your Teacher

@AnjaLit_19 @sewaddel @nearpod Lolllllll😹

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

When you co-teach with @sewaddel & she teaches you @nearpod & you LOVE IT!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

Just in case anyone needs a doc camera for zoom ...... get an old (or cheap) makeup compact ... put the mirror over your camera & it projects what's underneath :) you're welcome!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

@jkirk___ Not all Ss have living environments they fee comfortable sharing. Maybe meet one on one with cameras to build a relationship, but please don't *force* cameras on! (2/2) also LOVE your words .. COME ALIVE teaching!!!!!!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

@jkirk___ Please don't feel as if you need to force Ss to turn cameras on. They can participate through chat to show engagement, but I find I get more participation and buy in when I let them choose cameras on or off ... (1/2)

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

Shoutout to my Ss' families! They are amazing and I'm so blessed to work with them again this year!!!!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

@scomorrison If you haven't read "Long Way Down" by @JasonReynolds83 ... do it! It's an AMAZING verse novel. Hands down my favorite book. & then his Track Series is really good too!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

@kate52437325 @abbideckeredu YES! And not policing Ss to have their cameras on & in "real clothes" & not with their dog ... there are ways to ensure participation without cameras being on!!!!

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

@scomorrison My brain is mush.. 6 years in K 😹

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

There are ways to make sure Ss are participating on zoom without having their cameras on. THERE ARE WAYS Ss CAN SHOW PARTICIPATION WITHOUT THEIR CAMERAS BEING ON! 👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼👏🏻 why is this even a thing?

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

#kidpresident for the win .. always! @eaepanthers

[Denise Crouse @cdgrissom]

being with these kids definitely FILLS my bucket! ❤️ @eaepanthers
