K-2, but may use this to start off our social studies instruction next week! Spatial awareness each year is lacking, and this could be a fun introduction!!
In this 50-minute #mapping activity, your K-2 learners will explore spatial relationships with geographic features by locating themselves on a map. Let us know how they do! https://t.co/73zIAH2mrb

We are so excited about having a friend and colleague in the White House with @DrBiden, an educator and longtime NEA member, as First Lady! A compassionate leader, she is ready to listen and prioritize educators’ needs at the federal level and we can't wait to partner with her!

Friends, it means more to have your face in your class than for you to look put together. #remotelearning
Teachers, parents, students: I've decided to start a daily read-aloud of WONDER! Still figuring out platform, to be announced next week, but I was thinking at 12pm every weekday: I'll read a few chapters and add a little commentary. Stay tuned for details. #WONDERreadaloud

SALUTE TO THE TEACHERS OUT THERE TOO! THEY DIDN'T TRAIN YOU FOR COVID 19 IN UNDERGRAD OR GRADUATE SCHOOL BUT HERE YOU ARE...RIGHT THERE ON THE FRONT LINES HOLDING IT DOWN FOR YOUR SCHOLARS. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed either.
If you have the “teachers only work 730-330” mindset, take a quick look at what’s taking place on social media. Teachers everywhere are STILL trying to teach even with #COVIDー19#schoolclosures. Teachers go above and beyond to help their students LEARN even if they’re “off”.
Don’t overwhelm yourself, students, and parents with all the FREE thing available. Stick to what you know and what works. If you experiment. Make it low stakes and don’t overthink it. #njed#edcampnj
