@jimmyfallon Heard my daughter singing along to "Caravan" by Van Morrison. She was singing, "And the Taliban is on its way.."😂

Yes!

Discussing if you are required to teach from school, home or have choice if remote. This comment hits the nail on the head “such a simple way to honor our professionalism.” So thankful for a district that honors and trusts their staff. It says more than I think admin realize.

@CityofAuroraIL Saw my first movie there!

@MCUSDSupe So tired of hearing "learning loss." Never in 20 years have I had a class come into my room all at "grade level." We meet students where they are and move forward together every year. The pandemic has not changed that. We will make it happen, just in a different format!

[Kate Richards @kateprichards]

@MCUSDSupe Thank you for sharing your thought process. I wish more superintendents would express their process. Knowing all of the variables being considered helps make the process more transparent which helps ease some of the anxiety.

Our fortcasting @zoom_us meeting was so much fun!! Elementary Ss @jcdsps were able to take classmates on a tour of their forts as they prepared to hunker down for their elearning and snacks in their forts!! #ElearninginIL

[Kate Richards @kateprichards]

During today's @zoom_us meeting, my elementary Ss @jcdsps decided that we will all engineer forts and zoom from our forts tomorrow!! Making the best of a rainy day and social distancing together!! #elearninginIL
