W2D4: We want to reward attendance, but we don’t want students to come when they’re sick. An interesting article @discoveryhagele . #DSCTwitterMadness #powerofdiscovery

W2D4: this is an interesting article about attendance during illness. @MrsH_Dis_Music and I see the dramatic attendance drops in classes when an illness comes through. What will our new ‘normal’ be after this situation? When should kids be kept home? #DSCTwitterMadness

W2D3: Students should love coming to school! #DSCtwittermadness #powerofdiscovery

Chronic absence affects all kids, not just the absent ones. Let's all do our part to create a positive climate & culture of attendance at school! #SchoolEveryDay #edchat

Peer-to-peer conflicts always happen in school. #AffectiveQuestions are important parts of #RestorativePractice when intervening. Instead of asking, "Why did you do that?" use the queries here. Learn more in this great resource: https://t.co/QkJ6sFBeCc #WednesdayWisdom

W2D3: To communicate with parents who speak languages other than English, I use Google Translate. #DSCTwitterMadness
