#Science rocks.
Cultivating #curiosity: priceless.
These students @StMarkHarlem will tell you so; thanks to @ConEdison for the unit that is fascinating them.

"If I’m being honest, you can’t really manufacture fortitude. You can exercise it with practice, but I learned I already had it."

More of us could use that class:
"As a P.E. teacher, I teach three-year-olds to 14-year-olds, so I think all day about how I differentiate audiences, and I use a lot of what I learned in a diversity class from undergrad at @suny_cortland." https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0

"You never know who is watching...so I wake up every day glad to come in. Every day I’m figuring out: how am I going to mold lives today? What am I going to bring in new today? I don’t want to be an example of laziness." @StMarkHarlem's Mr. J: https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0 #teacher

Can't do contact sports in PE?
Then learn to bowl.
But bowl with the eye of the tiger, like this @StMarkHarlem champ.

"I need to be here...I didn’t think twice about coming back in. I’ll take that risk, I’ll get vaccinated, I’ll do whatever I need to do." @StMarkHarlem teacher Lavance Johnson takes over the Post. Need motivation? He's got it. https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0 #zeal @NCEATALK

"When I started last year, David Ellis, the librarian, came to me and said, you don’t understand the importance of the job you are doing. He asked: how many male teachers did you have growing up?" @StMarkHarlem teacher Mr. J reflects: https://t.co/OCGLTJVhf0 @PGeducator

The coolest thing on Zoom this week: Author and #Newberry #CorettaScottKing #NationalBookAward honoree @OneCrazyRita popped into @StMarkHarlem! Great to have her back. Thanks to librarian and our own resident poet @artbydellis for making the fun happen.

Maybe find a book this weekend so interesting that you don't even notice your head rest isn't actually that comfortable.

“I did it! I did it!”

“I did it! I did it!”
When @StMarkHarlem teacher Chinique Pressley heard those words as 8th grader Jamila got into the high school of her choice, it was the sound of 5 years of work and relationships paying off. More in today's Post: https://t.co/X7RncODgSg

Still Easter, still rejoicing:
"Going into the building everyday and seeing the kids laughing...seeing their teachers supporting them...is a blessing in itself. It is the same hope that Jesus Christ gave us when he died and came back." https://t.co/GC5Y83It6i @NY_Arch

The challenge: cultivate fine motor skills in #physicaleducation class with both in-person and remote learners.
The solution? #DIY #foosball.
Let the games begin!

"I...have lost family members, I have lost a job...The loss this year has swallowed me up more than once. However, here I am today stronger than I was yesterday, better than I was last week and more equipped for the unknown than I have ever been." https://t.co/GC5Y83It6i #Easter
