@WABoysSoccer_ Congratulations Blackhawks!

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

This. This sums it up. This gives me hope. Today, we begin again.

[Elana Gordon @mommagordon2]

My favorite quote from @right2readproj & @allardice_jamie. Really interesting work around a “ Walk to Read” model. I completely felt this! @reading_league #TRLConf2024

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

Love this idea!

[Katie Shelton @KaitShelt]

A great strategy for having every student reading aloud but at different places in the text- stagger start!

The teacher can then lean in and listen to each student read! (And give feedback as needed!)

That’s a million dollar smile right there! What an amazing, uplifting thing to cross my feed at the end of the week. May the owner of that smile feel this kind of happiness and pride often as he continues his scholarly journey.

[Dr. Laura Hammack @BeechGroveSupt]

What it look like when your Principal is announcing to the whole school that YOU are the success story of the week. 🥰

@burziyech 100% earned that victory and were the better team today. It was a fantastic game!

It’s been a heck of a week at our house with the first day of school and the first Friday on the field since last year! This Syco mama is ready for some Spartan football! 🖤🏈💛

And yet sadly, they’re so underutilized today. 😔 I almost burst into tears not long ago when in a meeting someone said, “Our goal is to make sure EVERY student in this district has a library card.” I’ve found my home. ❤️ 📚 🏫

[Icona @iconawrites]

I love public libraries because they are built on the principle that books are so important and so necessary to human flourishing that access to them cannot depend on your income.

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

Got to spend some time this week at elementary schools welcoming and dismissing students and at Hampshire HS helping to distribute devices. How lucky am I to get to do things like this everyday?! I’ll always love being a teacher.

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

@CHitch94 This was my go to as well. When I taught soc, I’d throw in “who says?” and “why?”. This really allowed students to articulate their thinking and empowered their voices. #sschat

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined District 300 as the Director of Science and Social Science! Looking forward to working with such a dedicated team to inspire and support our students. #Education #Leadership #District300

@EveryDayGov Ahhhh… wait until you see what 40 and 1 hour has to offer! 😉😂 Happy birthday Vergo! 🎂🎉🥳

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

Some days, it really is this simple. Picture being happy, believe in yourself, and dream big. You got this!

[Mark Hickie @MPHickie]

A message for today …

While positive self-talk isn’t quick a fix for all of life’s obstacles or issues in our lives – starting your day with a moment of mindfulness can help create a more positive & resilient mindset as you navigate daily stressors in pursuit of your goals. 👇

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

Love seeing all of these All Americans from Illinois @Ilmatwomen! 💪🏼🥇#GirlsGettingItDone #GrappleLikeAGirl

@EM_RESUS As the partner of a paramedic/fireman, I can’t even tell you how many times he’s been asked to administer aide while we’ve been traveling. Most recently coming from the Keys, there was a call mid flight. It was between him & a dermatologist. Dermatologist quickly retreated. 😂

[Sara Turner @LeadLearnThrive]

What a great day w/ the 8th grade @JewelJaguars at @CantignyPark!
