Let’s talk about math! What do you notice? What do you wonder?

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

There’s nothing to lose by giving a #student a second chance.

Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

There’s only the possibility of strengthening a #relationship, demonstrating the power of #empathy, and instilling a glimmer of hopeful recovery.

Math Puzzles are a BIG FAVORITE for both students and teachers! Self-checking and fun, math puzzles provide review of all math skills for each grade level. https://t.co/iu9vapCRqO

In this PBS KIDS video, @TheAmandaGorman, the Inaugural National Youth Poet Laureate, recites her original poem "Talking Gets Us There." Watch and talk with your kids about celebrating differences and speaking out against racism today and every day.

[Aimee Cherry @cherry_aimee]

It can be difficult for kids to know how to be an ally. Equipping them with these phrases to interrupt racist/biased conversations is a great place to start.

Anyone who thinks required assessments and universal screeners are a good idea for school should have to come and sit with a class of five-year-olds trying to take an online assessment.

Have you and your students spent the week exploring voting with @PBSKIDS? If so, how many BINGO squares can your classroom complete? https://t.co/wwk5GlD6rj

This. 🙌

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your lessons don't need to be perfect right now.

Many kids are benefiting from just interacting with you.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

I was on a Zoom meeting with a professional & they were interrupted several times by dogs and kids.

We need to understand that our own students are at home with different variables they can't control.

It should be good enough that they are learning in some way.

[Mikala Hartis @cheatham1stMH]

What my brain and open tabs look like right now 😂😭❤️

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Teachers have never had to work harder.

What they need right now is your support.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Teaching remotely will be hard but we can still reach students. 🧡

[Aimee Cherry @cherry_aimee]

A team of teachers mentioned that some students could use a restorative chat with Mrs. Cherry... and #edutwitter saves the day with awesome resources for online offices!

I’m excited to keep adding links & ways to connect with with our at-home learners❤️

[Aimee Cherry @cherry_aimee]

This quote kept running through my head today while planning for the upcoming school year:

“When the winds of change blow, some people build walls, others build windmills.” -Chinese proverb

Can’t wait to build some amazing windmills this year 💛

[We Are Teachers @WeAreTeachers]

Don't they? 💚

[Mikala Hartis @cheatham1stMH]

Please be sure to read carefully over the parts of our district plan! Check out the FAQ’s for in person and distance learning. While we are still waiting on more guidance from TEA, this is a good start in informing parents about options for this fall.
