Love to see it! Highlighting good times of 2020. Thank you @CrookedLakePTO, and @crookedlakeelem staff for putting on this fun event for our #CLSGreats! #AHSchools

[Anoka-Hennepin @AHSchools]

Over the next 10 days we will be counting down the #AHSchools Top 10 Stories of 2020 and our first was one of our most popular social media posts last year, @crookedlakeelem student Jude Gagner performing a Napoleon Dynamite dance at a talent show. Watch: https://t.co/d5EU8UEa92

Thank you @DrIbram for the thoughts and questions today. What is one thing we can do to oppose inequities? How are you going to contribute? What do you have to give? Money, time, think about what it is that we have to give. It is going to take everyone. #beantiracist

[Sam Anderson @samyanderCL]

So many #Lakecrew smiles during staff appreciation deliveries this past week. Thank you to all who contributed to this special week. @CrookedLakePTO #CLSGreats #AHSchools

[David Law @DLawSuper]

It is so refreshing to hear a positive, supportive voice about public education. Our dedicated educators have remained committed to our students during the toughest times. Thanks @DanRather #PublicSchoolProud

Reading your friends favorite book is a fun option @SunriseElement2. #distancelearningwithsiblings #AHSchools

[Crooked Lake @crookedlakeelem]

Teachers are distance learning just as much as students. Together they continue to do great things! It has been amazing to see all the teachers step out of their comfort zone to support each other and their students. #lakecrew #ahschools #clsgreats #distancelearning

[Stacey Taylor @LitROCK_taylor]

Minilessons for distance learning look different than they would in the classroom. Make them leaner, more precise, & keep them under 5 minutes (especially if recording). Simplify the work by keeping the 3 “Ts” in mind. Thank you @MaggieBRoberts for sharing #LiteracyTipTuesday

[Sam Anderson @samyanderCL]

Thankful for parents and educators who are making the most of distance learning together. @SunriseElement2 @sheparddeb #AHSchools

[Sam Anderson @samyanderCL]

Proud of our #LakeCrew for being amazing in their preparation for our first day of distance learning! #Makeithappen #CLSGreats

[Anoka-Hennepin @AHSchools]

While working on distance learning plans and helping gather students' personal belongings last week, a lot of schools created fun videos to share with their communities to show how much they were missing students. Here is one from @crookedlakeelem #AHSchools #AHDistanceLearning

Who can be given 8 days to completely transform their profession and absolutely kill it??

TEACHERS because they are awesome!!

[Sam Anderson @samyanderCL]

Starting off the day by quoting my 4 year old. “I’m going to do something rather brilliant!” We’ve seen a lot of brilliance this week in our school community. Thank you @crookedlakeelem community and @AHSchools

[David Geurin @DavidGeurin]

You might consider these for online learning too... 🤔

Are there opportunities to make choices in their learning?

Are there chances to pursue and explore their own questions?

Will they have opportunities to create and innovate?

Will learning engage students in helping others?

[Sam Anderson @samyanderCL]

#LakeCrew making the most of pick-up for #CLSGreats distance learning materials! @crookedlakeelem #AHSchools

[Sam Anderson @samyanderCL]

Chromebook pick-up for #CLSGreats 4th and 5th grade families. Thank You @jverduin @LMorawczynski and team @BeckyBrodeur @HuskiesHS for helping families get the device they need to work from home. #AHSchools

[Principal @AndHSPrincipal]

Chromebooks pickup - find the rocket ship!

[Sam Anderson @samyanderCL]

At a time when decisions and action must happen, this sentence really stuck with me while reading @JeffersonBethke “You have to go at a pace that can be interrupted. That can be responsive to the moment in front of you.” Be present today.
