My ⁦⁦@D28Northbrook⁩ 8th graders enjoying the beautiful, autumn weather while still reading and analyzing ⁦@Amplify⁩ texts - old school with the paper-back books & journals. Gotta take advantage of outdoor safety the while simultaneously learning & spacing.

As @NBJH_D28 8th graders analyze the complexities of immigration in Europe, they played a @bbceducation migration simulation. What dilemmas do Syrian migrants face as they flee the civil war? Choose your #SyrianJourney https://t.co/AiN3iq7TsB

Is band rehearsal possible? Yes...outdoors with special masks and bell covers while socially distant. #Team28 #28Empowers

FOR EVERY ONE https://t.co/lMN6kexTeA via @YouTube really is for everyone who reflects on life and it challenges. And not just a global pandemic.

With a mixture of thoughts & emotions for the "typical" @D28Northbrook teenager during "typical" times, @JasonReynolds83 writing & performance means so much more during this extraordinary time w/ extraordinary stress & extraordinary opportunity.

In addition to captivating ⁦@D28Northbrook⁩ students w/ relevant learning experiences during in-person schooling, each teacher’s day looks like this in between each class period.

"There are those who are asking those pledged to civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied. As long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality, we can never be satisfied."

My @D28Northbrook 8th graders are analyzing MLK's metaphor use in his famous #ihaveadream speech. I claim that the beginning (before the most famous words) is stronger & more relevant in 2020.

Caring @NBJH_D28 Staff Wants to Help You! https://t.co/i2vm9OlYsU via @YouTube It’s about the physical safety, for sure. But it is also about students’ being well socially, emotionally, & mentally. Can’t learn well in person or remotely without balance.

My advice for anyone who has not opened schools yet based on what I learned from our opening day.

Some PPE for back-to-school in-person learning, @chwine delivered to @D28Northbrook, & a classroom library waiting to be rediscovered w/ the likes of @maureenjohnson & @elockhart & @WriteinBK for my 8th readers. Safety matters. Self preservation matters. Vivid stories matter.

[lacerraclass @lacerraclass]

I usually give pause before telling teens/students to "not do something," but this time, being with them - in person - is too valuable for not being on the right side of these issues.

[lacerraclass @lacerraclass]

This is us, @D28Northbrook, this week, attempting to solidify our in-person learning logistics. Will use with @NBJH_D28 students as we build community. @Corralchirps #GirlPower
