@MsPalicka @dr_s_bertrand YES there is always more room to educate yourself to make yourself the best teacher you can be!

@SedonaParks @gracedebacker @dr_s_bertrand

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@SedonaParks YES! There are so many things that I never learned in school about the truth of many things in our history. I want my students to learn THE TRUTH!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@_Tarah_L @dr_s_bertrand You are so right! Students should not only see themselves in the books in the classroom library but all other sorts of texts and things around your classroom as well!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@samanth30416029 I want to know everything about my students and I want to create that connection with them where they feel comfortable sharing their stories with me!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

A4: I will commit to having texts that all of my students can see themselves in. I want to make my classroom a community that all of my students feel comfortable in. I will commit to getting to know my students and their identities to make this happen. #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

@hannahbteaches Student led discussions are so important! Our students need to know that they have a voice in our classrooms!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@gracedebacker @dr_s_bertrand Having authentic conversations with students about difficult topics is so important. Even though it may be scary at first, it will be so beneficial in the end.

@MsSooHoo I have never heard of this activity, but I love it! Such a good idea to teach on equity!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@anna_tonarelli @dr_s_bertrand I want my students to be able to see themselves in anything that we do! This is so important!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

A3:I want my students to be able to have discussions with not only me but each other on topics like equity, Blackness, and antiracism. I can do this is by making my classroom a safe space that students feel comfortable talking and sharing their feelings in. #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@MsSmithinblono @dr_s_bertrand Yes! Students need to learn more about important people from history and not just the ones that are mentioned in textbooks!

@MaryPerfect2 @dr_s_bertrand We read this in my second grade class during election week and the students loved it!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@MsSooHoo I will have to check that resource out! Thank you!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

A2: I want to including books in my classroom library that integrate with social studies. Books I plan to use in that library are Grace for President, and The Name Jar. I plan to keep my students up to date on current events and analyze primary sources. #TCHEdBirds #TCH258F20

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@MsUblish I love the idea of using read aloud books in a unit or lesson. I think students really engage and love hearing stories about what they are learning about!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@NatalieBerlin This is such a good idea!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@samanth30416029 That is such a good idea to use the books we created! I would also like copies!!!

[Reilly Longawa @LongawaReilly]

@SedonaParks I read Separate is Never Equal in one of my classes last year and loved it! It is such a good book to start conversations about segregation!
