@NicholasFerroni@Starbucks When I waited tables, a retired history teacher came in almost every day. He always asked me history questions and we'd banter back & forth. When I graduated with my edu. degree, he gave me a copy of Joan of Arc and a very fancy "scholar's pen" as a gift.I cherish those.
@gradyryan1 Something about this photo being in color and not black/white blows my mind even more. Definitely using color photos when we investigate this topic in class this year.
@happiestteacher@TeachMrReed Oh my goodness! I was scrolling through & this made me remember my 3rd grade teacher flying kites with us (she was also a top notch kickball player). I had not thought of that in years, but the memory just flooded back. Guess I'm going to get some 🪁 for my class. 😊 Have fun!
@JasonReynolds83 Today in 8th grade we read For Every One. Thank you. We had so many beautiful moments in class bc of your art. These days those moments are even more precious than usual. When the last line was read, one guy said, "Gah this dude is so good. He hits your soul."

How can we expect our students to be informed citizens when we are terrified to teach historical truth?
@DarcyGrimesNC@Janna_ya A lot of students seem to be missing out on the Lemony Snicket series lately. Always a great read aloud and gets them hooked on the series.

Can we all agree when school is 'normal' again we won't complain about beginning of year tired? At least we're usually exhausted from living our best life w/our kids. Virtual tired hits different.
