Can confirm...not all hand sanitizers are made equally. Like, not even close.

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

After our first 3 days of in-person instruction I can officially say:

In-Person > NTI

But everyone already knew that 😎

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

I *think* we’ve solved the biggest concern about our in-person lunch plans - where do kids sit in the cafeteria. Testing it out on Monday!

[gerry brooks @gerrybrooksprin]

It is extremely important for educators to work on their mental & physical health right now. Whether school is in person or virtual, we are dealing with stress that we have never encountered. Take time for yourself daily/weekly - read, walk, rest, spend time with loved ones.

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

Clarification: the staff at LG does NOT bring challenges...but logistics around COVID guidelines certainly does.

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

We’re beginning to iron out the kinks in our in-person instruction plan. Each new day brings new challenges with a staff that works hard to be solution finders and not complainers. #LionLeaders #TeamOldham #BeAChampion

Mrs. Stragand spending her lunch (I told her not to!) doing a read-aloud with her K students. These students have place-mats on which to eat their socially-distanced lunch.

Today has been so rewarding. Schools are meant to have students walking through their halls and learning with friends. I’m thrilled we could make it happen safely. It takes a team effort and hard work, but it’s worth it. #TeamOldham #BeAChampion #LionLeaders

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

When you have teachers that love students deeply, they’ll do anything they can to provide them with great instruction.
Shoutout to Mrs. Shackleton (1st grade) and many others across OC!

@klathurman Especially after your meeting today 😩Sorry friend...we’ll get through it!

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

Also realized I missed the #TheAnywhereSchool livestream today 😩😩😩

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

Just when I feel beat down by the stresses of the job, I get on #Twitter and am immediately rejuvenated at the professionalism and positivity of educators from all over.
#thankyou #ineededthat

OCS to open in NTI on Aug. 24 (Aug. 31 for Preschool). Students in VLA will continue with VLA. More information >> https://t.co/t6JuBLYwf9

I’ve seen too many #Google sheets today...like, WAY too many. I think I had ~20 #Chrome tabs open at one time.

I’m exhausted.

Alarm set for 5:40am again tomorrow - let’s do it!
#covidyear #teamoldham #optimism

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

Somehow I was able to wake up at 5:40am this AM in preparation for the school year....earliest I’ve woken up since March 12th 😱🥱😴

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

@DrP_Principal Be patient with yourself and don’t feel like you have to do everything right - be okay with making mistakes. Your colleagues are there as a support system - use them!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Maslow applies to educators now more than ever. Leaders need to remember that when they’re talking about culture, mission, and all that stuff at the top of the pyramid... they have staff members & students who are worried about safety, security, and all that stuff at the bottom.

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

Today is our first true Instr. Leadership Team mtg where we’ll actually talk instruction instead of logistics on opening school.
FINALLY getting to work alongside my colleagues to create vertical alignment on essential standards! #nerdout #TeamOldham #BeAChampion

[Matthew Lund, Ed.S @MrMatthewLund]

When we say “Chromebooks,” we really mean any internet capable device (other than a mobile phone).

But I do highly suggest downloading and using the Chrome web browser (esp if your district is a #Google district).

Y’all...I’m 99% sure I saw a murder hornet tonight👀...for real.
I’m on high alert.
