Building snowmen during P.E. class at Marion Jordan sure gets the heart pumping! Creative ways of getting exercise outside during the winter months. #D15Learns

P.E. teachers Meghan Sanchez and Mike Duffy have completed installed a sensory path at Marion Jordan! Thanks to One-Five Foundation donors for funding this initiative!

Powerful learning about CLR, SEL, & PBIS at NTO today. The knowledge and strategies shared will allow teachers to connect w the heart of students...even remotely! Thanks @validateaffirm @midwestpbis

People make a building a school! New Teacher Orientation is providing all the nuts and bolts info our staff need to start impacting students lives and learning right from the start. #ProudToBe15

Excellent job setting clear expectations for active participation and learning. @aliciaduell #21Learns

We found out there would be no in-person school 24 hours ago, and now every single family I know is rushing to make social "learning pods" with a few other families to share duties and so their kids won't have to learn alone. Curious to see where this leads. Humans are amazing.

@amberkim21 Thank you so much Amber! Same to your students having you as their teacher! 😁

Even though I don’t have my kids in front of me who I miss dearly, I still make sure to focus on engagement in all aspects of eLearning! In this book, a turtle finds a banana tree. I was able to show my students a banana plant that I have at home! #21Learns #21EdBirds

[Miss O'Brien @MissOBrien31]

I am hoping that everyone is finding success with E-Learning! I use Padlet as a place for my class to stay connected. We discuss feelings, answer questions, and post updates about what the students have done during the day! #21Learns #21EdBirds

The 2nd and 3rd grade students at @ccsd21twain show what they are thankful for! I am thankful for all of my wonderful students. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍂 #21Learns #21EdBirds

We are like a box of crayons each of us unique but when we get together the picture is complete! #21EdBirds @educationISU Wheeling PDS Class of 2020! @FlaniganJodie @21longfellow @ccsd21twain @ccsd21poe @21tarkington @ccsd21kilmer

[Catherine Joy @catherinejoy71]

Where does sand come from? @MissOBrien31's use of TPRs to teach academic vocabulary was a perfect launch to the simulation as students explored this scientific question. #21EdBirds @ccsd21twain @FlaniganJodie @educationISU

[Miss O'Brien @MissOBrien31]

The Fall Party at @ccsd21twain was a huge success! It was so much fun to see so many of my students at this event! Yummy food, awesome music, and so many great activities! 🎃 #21learns #21EdBirds

[Catherine Joy @catherinejoy71]

#21EdBirds explored how to amplify technology integration into classrooms so students are producers and collaborators, not just consumers of technology! A big shout out to @aliciaduell for sharing her expertise with these rising educators! @ccsd21 @MikeFrantini @educationISU
