#WhatImReading I am starting my read-everyday plan with a nonfiction book about leadership! Don’t forget to submit your book choice English 1-3 to the survey in Google Classroom. There’s also a remote learning survey… https://t.co/IwE8ic96V5

Superintendents:
We know your jobs are hard.
We know u are always focused on what’s best for kids.
I’m so proud of the decisions that are not only focused on kids, but communities, your staffs, & even those who haven’t been in a school in decades.
Thank you. You are appreciated

So, recently, I was a little tricky with my #freshmen 👩🏻‍🏫 I gave them a timed, in-class essay *insert panic here* then instead of my grading the essay, each student graded their own essay using the state rubric and wrote a reflection on the back (which I graded instead).

What a wonderful #WriteKnight 🥳 We read, created bookmarks and acrostic poetry, and just focused on the fun side of reading, because research shows that reading for pleasure is the #1 contributing factor to future… https://t.co/83LrCO5FqK

Comment with book titles you’d like to see added to the library or you think others will like! I’m collecting ideas for #WriteKnight reading rotations 📚❤️ #msaebookselfie @msaeastknights

@techamys Absolutely. Publishing only the positive aspects often creates islands of struggle. Feelings of it must just be me. Teaching is hard. Teaching is important. Share the truth of it in all aspects. ❤️
