Chasing the dreams.

My Ss favorite part of their #distancelearning was their journal!Thanks @GoogleForEdu for the shoutout!!

[Google for Education @GoogleForEdu]

Check-in on the well-being of your students by having them journal in @googledocs. Students can ask questions and reflect on their feelings and accomplishments, and teachers can respond to them with comments. Shout out to @cheywalent for the tip! #DistanceLearning #SEL

PSA:

Don’t take your shoes off at the Theatre.

Like. Please. Your fellow audience members and the gods of theatre DO NOT NEED your nasty ass toe stench permeating the same air that Sharon D. Clarke is releasing her heavenly voice into.

Leave. Your. Shoes. On.

Look @ladya. It may not be a quarter after one. But I need you now, forever, and all the days in between. Oof. It feels good to have #livemusic back. #WhatASongCanDoTour #ladya #myheart

Just because you’re struggling doesn’t mean your failing.

Keep fighting the good fight.

[Cheyenne Walent @cheywalent]

Spent time reflecting with my class before #vacation. Respect your students. They notice it. They need it. And they WILL return it.

No matter the age, the challenges, or the moment. Give #respect, and you’ll get some in return.

Can’t say I’m not part of that 27%.

Poet Amanda Gorman, 22, reads the poem she wrote, titled "The Hill We Climb," for Joe Biden's Inauguration. ❤️ https://t.co/0yP013xK59

[Cheyenne Walent @cheywalent]

Kamala, her Chucks, and her pearls will always have my heart.

But ladies and gentleman...Amanda Gorman is here to slay. Here to take this Inauguration Day by storm.

Here to show us all the absolutely beautiful and prolific power of words.

When #hybridlearning hands you lemons, you throw on your Mad Scientist lab coats and change the world.

Smiling behind those masks are the most resilient humans I’ve ever met. We thank you @donorschoose!

GUYS. Hybrid learning is the worst thing EVER. But kids are friggin’ great.

[Arts For LA @Arts4LA]

In honor of a late, great champion of the arts, and passionate advocate for gender equality and repairing our country's systemic inequities.

We love this relationship-building technique for hybrid schools. Thanks for sharing, @cheywalent!

@LisaRomanoEDU @ELmagazine @ASCD @drewry_megan @AliKirchberger @StephanieGronda Some snail mail magic! In-person students writing to introduce themselves to virtual students and enclosing an addressed envelope for them to write back. (Supporting the @USPS too? Total perk.)
Also @EVERFI’s Compassion Project is FIRE.

It is extremely important for educators to work on their mental & physical health right now. Whether school is in person or virtual, we are dealing with stress that we have never encountered. Take time for yourself daily/weekly - read, walk, rest, spend time with loved ones.

Just put a blow dryer to my hair for the first time since 2019. Not even kidding. #BackToSchool? #BackToSchool #firstdayofschool #firstandlasttime doing my hair this year.

We preach that it must be #maslowbeforebloom for #students.

We can’t forget that the same must be said for our #teachers as well.

Teachers are being asked to cast their own needs and fears aside. And being criticized and demeaned as selfish.

Maslow before Bloom applies to all.

[Cheyenne Walent @cheywalent]

Gov. Lamont says students “need to be back in the classroom. They need social interaction with their peers.”

What social interaction? At desks, behind masks, all day, 3-6 feet apart, no group work, minimal-if any-movement from their desk.

[Cheyenne Walent @cheywalent]

Just in case anyone thought that this endgame wasn’t prevalent on every teachers’ mind right now...
