We may all be 6 feet apart, but it feels so good to hear conversation in my classroom again!

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

My feelings after having two back to back zoom classes where my students actually interacted and had productive discussions!

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@KelseyFrantz @jenniferlhatch This is on my to-be-read list!!

English teacher friends! Here are some hyperdocs created by my rockstar teacher friends- special thanks to @mbrisbin11 for heading this up. Bookmark this page as we - and hopefully you - will continue to add to this resource. #aplithchat #teachlivingpoets https://t.co/fZhcEj1ql7

@MrsGray_WECHS This is genius! I’ve been changing my questions daily and this sounds like a much better option.

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@MrsGray_WECHS Please tell me all of your great/successful prompts! My attendance questions are getting kind of stale this week. :)

@susangbarber @Kat_Branch @TalksWTeachers @ClintSmithIII Just looked up the poem and WOW! Adding this to my unit now. :) This week we are looking at this amazing piece (https://t.co/3eXyXFZcg9) by @hiwotadilow and listening to the @cultofpedagogy podcast on name pronunciation.

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

Shoutout to @susangbarber and @TalksWTeachers for the mentor texts lesson idea from #mosaic2020. Adapted it today to model @ClintSmithIII's "Something You Should Know" and I'm already blown away by the poems my students have submitted!

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@Flipgrid Thank you!

(@MrsMaarschalk, here's the answer!)

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

Hey @Flipgrid- how can I leave a written comment (instead of a video) in reply to a student's post?? I know the feature used to be there, but I can't seem to find it now. Help!

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@Kat_Branch @susangbarber @TalksWTeachers @ClintSmithIII I think it would fit really well. I used it to transition into the idea of personal identities as we start a "Names and Identity" unit next week.

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@susangbarber @TalksWTeachers @ClintSmithIII Yes! Their ideas were so much better than what I anticipated.

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@MrsMaarschalk @Flipgrid You weren't alone! We had the same issues last week.

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

The first day of school looks a little different this year, but so far I've survived my first class! To all of my teacher friends and colleagues out there, you've got this! #togetherwecan 🧡🖤

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@TraskBand @NhcsArts Coolest virtual classroom ever!

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

A5: I want to find as many opportunities to collaborate with colleagues as possible. My coworkers have been a huge help so far this year and I'm eager to return the favor. #NHCSchat

[Alexandra Schaivone @mrsschaivone]

@WhitneyCoonradt Yes! I am so much more inclined to say yes to things when I know I will be surrounded by people who will make me a better teacher/colleague/friend/leader. #NHCSchat
