@jessbate2 @BoomerangPrjct @DodgeTigers How did it work over Google Meets? We are worried our WEB Leaders won't see each other on an iPad! (i.e. No grid view).

From the last picture, we wanted to take a second to single out THE CLOUD BOOK written and illustrated by the beloved Tomie dePaola, who passed away today. We’ll miss him. ☁️☁️🎈☁️

So for the last two weeks I've been focusing on helping my co-teachers prep for distance learning, but looking forward I'm wondering about my role in this brave new world. What would families and students like to see for GT support or ideas from others in the gifted ed world?

Wow! So cool that she is doing this! Follow Lauren to see all the chapters she’s posted so far. I know what I am going to listen to today. 🙂

[Lauren Tarshis @laurenTarshis]

Hi teachers and parents. I miss visiting schools and seeing kids. So I'm making little video read-aloud every morning. Here's my first, a little greeting and a read aloud of first 2 chapters of I Survived Titanic. Let me know what you think. https://t.co/u66AAjUo8H

[Lauren Tarshis @laurenTarshis]

Hi everyone! We've added new READING QUESTS on Scholastic Learn at Home, great activities for independent reading. Kids can use with their books or any article. You'll find 10 reading quests on each of the different age hubs. https://t.co/qtpCRjXtUZ

Two years ago I had the help of some wonderful parents make this happen. This weekend, the mom who decorated the outside of my room, passed away. I was fortunate to teach both her sons. My heart breaks for their family. ❤️❤️ Sending all my love to the Seabright’s. #WarriorStrong

I supply the friendly grams to all sixth graders in my house... I can’t remember who nor do I get to see who they write to/what they write. 🤷‍♀️ 😉 (If it’s any consolation, at least you got some! 😢😔)

[Friendly Hills GT @FHMS_GT]

I blame @mslaird26 for failure to teach these children to appreciate great literature. The Wild Robot is wonderful! #fakereviews

[Kara Laird @mslaird26]

I have no idea what you’re talking about. Never seen it before!! 🕵️‍♀️

[Friendly Hills GT @FHMS_GT]

Walked into my office to find this. I suspect @mslaird26 has aided some students in this next level trolling. Don't believe the lies. Wild Robot is a treasure. A TREASURE!

[Kara Laird @mslaird26]

Time Warp Tuesday! It is so funny to see what the kiddos are saying today. 📱 💻

Heard today while working on projects... “this is the best thing we’ve done all year.... like ALL of 6th grade” 😅☺️
