There will be no high stakes testing this year, and yet all over America educators have continued to teach and inspire their students online. I hope the powers that be realize we do what we do because we love children and not because a test is held over our heads.
I am hoping this can be of service to others - "10 Ideas to Meaningfully Connect Through Remote Learning". Relationships can be harder to build right now, but they are also more important than ever.
“We want kids to love school! They’re not going to learn if they don’t want to be here! They’re not going to learn if they don’t love it here and they’re not going to love it here unless they know you love them and they love you too!”

As well as others... And you can be their inspiration.
Eminem once asked us, “What if you had just one shot… one opportunity… would you capture it, or just let it slip?” That’s all we’ve got with some of our students… just one shot to make a difference.
This year is your opportunity!
@MichaelBonner_@ronclarkacademy I think you will love fourth grade!!!! I too taught 3rd then 4th (where I’ve been for the last 4 years). RCA is such an amazing and inspiring place. Looking forward to continuing to learn from you! Congratulations.
@jburkitt3 @drnickimath@BuildMathMinds Yay!!! I’ll definitely use your notes 😆. The Math Recess is great so far! Not too far along as I fell asleep while reading it 🤷🏻♀️. But so far so good!!!
