Our 2nd graders loved having @D11Supt here to read for #readacrossamerica week! He kicked off his shoes and made himself right at home.😁@CSSD11

@teachergoals The hardest part about teaching in May is so weird I can’t remember

I was nominated by my former teammate and current best friend @RoseKv6
Each day (well, whatever days I find over break) I will post a picture from a day in the life of an educator. I will post without explanation & nominate someone else. I nominate @JessBarnett13

I asked my students what kind of President they wanted. They said fair, helpful, kind to everyone, brave, not selfish, positive, and someone who follows the rules. YES.

❤️ this!

@champforkids This is SO important right now! Make time to talk, take breaks when needed, spend time together as a family, read together and chat about the book (TONS of really great SEL books!) and find ways for your child to connect with other kids (even virtually!) #champforkids

[Emily Slothower @MrsSlothower]

@champforkids Create a checklist and a schedule. I know most teachers are sending the work/assignments/ learning plan before the week starts. Look at it and create a pacing schedule that works for your student! #champforkids

[Emily Slothower @MrsSlothower]

@champforkids Find fun learning experiences that involve real life problems or experiences, look for ways to work with pencil and paper, and set a timer for tech time! #champforkids

@champforkids Hello! Emily, 2nd grade teacher, celebration: a hectic and chaotic as this school year has been, my class and I have read one picture book and one chapter EVERY DAY #champforkids

@TeachMrReed “Give me a thumbs up if you can see me and hear me!” “Ok- I’m going to share my screen with you now... give me a second...” “Make sure you are sitting in front of your device and not doing anything distracting... holding up random objects in your camera is distracting!”

[Mrs. Komp @MrsKomp]

Every. Single. Class...
Me: Hey, guys!

No one:

Me: Okay, guys. I'm just going to wait a few more minutes for everyone to get on, and then we'll get started.

No one:

Me: Okay, guys. I'm going to go ahead and share my screen...

Today in PLC, a colleague described how she keeps a spread sheet of things that happen on screen. Like a cat walks across the screen. Instead of chiding the student, she records, “Student has a cat. Ask its name later.” That tiny little move is about relationship now and later.

115 books shared with my amazing 2nd graders so far this year. Bummed I won’t be able to share books with them in person for the next 2 weeks. @Steele_Notes

[Olympic City USA @OlympicCityUSA]

300 students from Steele Elementary had some special guests for their Olympic and Paralympic-themed Focus Day today, including @MayorofCOS, @karathrowsjav, and @D11Supt.

These students will spend the day learning and exploring all about Olympic and Paralympic sports and values.

[Steele Elementary @Steele_Notes]

Dr. Thomas and Mayor Suthers rock the Olympic Celebration at Steele!

[Kelly Matthews @kellymatthews00]
