I've found it amazing that through this pandemic I have learned how to spot a smile through a students mask. I've seen over 1 billion million gazillion (made up word) in the last 2 days alone. #WeAreCBE

We are social animals. If someone is angry with you, it’s important to remain warm-hearted towards them. Today’s enemy may become tomorrow’s friend. If they behave negatively towards you and you are hostile in return there’ll be no end to the trouble between you.

I cannot recommend this site enough. Truly, it's one of my first go-to's for practicality, expertise, and inspiration.

If you teach students to read, at any age, read this! Please. #CBEliteracy

I'm so happy that more people will be getting vaccinated in the coming days - that's great news!

Wishing all @yyCBEdu teachers and leaders an excellent two days of professional learning, connection and opportunity to reflect on the incredible work you have done so far this year.

Gratitude today for:
1. new students bringing new stories into our school
2. inquiry on crocodiles vs. alligators in kindergarten.
3. An entire class of 1s and 2s yelling an emphatic NO!!! when their teacher asked if they were ready to move on from their esti-mystery learning

Interactive hexagonal thinking bulletin board. Students move around unit concepts based on the relationships they see between the concepts. Thanks @JulieHStern for reminding me of this awesome visible thinking strategy!!

@UsihChristopher When we read books that represent the full range of humanity, and students see themselves re-presented in literature we teach them that they belong. It’s saying “I see you. You’re a part of this and you matter.”

[Donalyn Miller @donalynbooks]

Series can feed reading momentum and provide comfort for devoted readers. What series engage your students/children these days?

Excited to start #wolfhollow by @LaurenWolkBooks ! #literacyteachersread

You want to feel better? Be kind. Doing something for someone else will always serve you better than it even serves them.

[Dr. Jody Carrington • Psychologist @DrJCarrington]

One of my truths, and something I’ll never stop talking about, is the deep desire for us all to get reconnected. A #reconnectionrevolution one might say. In this age of disconnect, amidst a friggin global pandemic, it can be easy to have a false sense of connection.

[Dr. Jody Carrington • Psychologist @DrJCarrington]

If you can, take some time this weekend to connect with the kids in your circle. Ask them how they’re doing. What’s been the best parts of living in a time of such change, and what has been the hardest. Connecting, before the ask, often acts as the key to opening the flood gates.

Leading in this moment means an opportunity to affirm relentless commitment to pay attention to people and process, work through challenges, and revisit/refine decisions when course correction is needed.
