Howdy, Pirates! Hats off to another great week of learning! #HOMEroom @CrandallMiddle #CrandallChallenge

[Crandall ISD @OfficialCISD]

CISD's social work and counseling team @piratecounsel has a special message today for Pirates everywhere. We love and miss our students!

[Todd Nesloney @TechNinjaTodd]

No matter how far into distance learning you are right now remember...

1. You aren't meant to be an expert already.
2. You don't have to have all the answers.
3. Parents are just as stressed as you are.
4. Students are just as stressed as you are.
5. You're doing a great job.

Hey Pirates! Have a great week! We ❤️ you! @CISDDietz @OfficialCISD #MondayMorning

[Jennifer Hiser @MrsHiser]

Grace for everyone!

My first Virtual Small Group meeting with 1st grade was a success!!! #virtualschoolcounseling #weareeducators #wegotthis @OfficialCISD @cisddietz

We are physically distancing, not social distancing. Stay connected.

[Melissa Smith @mmsreaderleader]

Great point! I love virtually connecting with friends, family, & colleagues especially now that I can’t hug their necks or offer the right hand (or even elbow) of fellowship. Relationships have not been canceled #PhysicalDistancingSocialConnecting

Today's curbside meal pickup was so successful we added another location. Talty Baptist Church will now offer curbside pickup for CISD student meals, making seven locations feeding our students https://t.co/YnQ4qkbtTk

First day back was awesome! I talked to several of my students and their families!#virtualschoolcounseling #wegotthis @CISDDietz

[Marilyn Burns @mburnsmath]

Need a math problem? Try the Horse Problem. Good for kids & adults. I just posted it on my Marilyn Burns Math YouTube channel. A way to keep busy as I'm sheltered in place.

[Crandall ISD @OfficialCISD]
