I think I found a perk of everything turning virtual- all of the summer conferences that are available to view online (& most are free and low cost) 😊 #summerPD#virtualPD
Students need teachers who see them and do whatever it takes. I’ve read @casas_jimmy’s book Culturize twice and we used it at school for a afternoon book club for teachers. If you want positive change for yourself or your building culture read this.https://t.co/3U97QLttBv

This came at a good time.... I was going to wait until summer but I keep reading the quote on the bottom & I know I need to start now #WhateverItTakes#Culturize@casas_jimmy
“I see no color” is not the goal.
“I see your color and I honor you. I value your input. I will be educated about your lived experiences. I will work against the racism that harms you. You are beautiful. Tell me how to do better.”
... That’s the goal.
Check in on your students of color. They can see what is happening in our world and they are scared. Their families are scared. They’re away from their community of classmates who can relate to them. They need to hear your voice. #BlackLivesMatter
Monroe Elementary School is now Officially AMAZING! Check out our reveal video that celebrates the joy, teamwork, and perseverance this accomplishment recognizes. Thank you to all those who helped us reach this goal. #ThisisMonroe @AHSchools@GWR @ccxnews https://t.co/pJ6gi3O3Eb
Remember 12.21.2017 when Monroe attempted to earn the world record for simultaneously spinning fidget spinners? We didn't earn that record, but our teamwork and perseverance were amazing! More big news coming Friday! #ThisisMonroe@AHSchools@GWR@ccxnews https://t.co/GV3MEZUezX
Is the third time a charm? After being disqualified in two other attempts, we persevered and took on a different challenge. Largest Human Image of a Cog record results to be revealed tomorrow!#ThisIsMonroe@ahschools@GWR

Last week, students received a box that said “do not open until your teacher says!” All week they have been slowly building their own LED crystal lamp from @kiwico_inc. Today was the final step and I’m happy to report YES it really works! #ScienceFromHome
Back before social distancing... On October 14, 2019, 656 of us stood really close together in the shape of a cog in our quest to be Officially Amazing. Results to be revealed on Friday! #ThisIsMonroe@ahschools@GWR@ccxnews https://t.co/oREaSAriBe
After 214 days of waiting, we are starting the drum roll that will lead to our world record announcement on Friday, May 22nd. Regardless of the outcome, we know that Monroe Elementary students are amazing! #ThisisMonroe@ahschools@GWR
Earned that degree 1 year ago today 🙌🏻 & what a year it has been! 🥳
(PS- it’s kind of odd seeing so many people in the background... what’s that like?! 😳)
Using @google_meet to catch up with students and guide them on any @Seesaw assignments they may be stuck on. This student shared her screen and talked through both math assignments as she worked 😌🙌🏻
My heartfelt gratitude goes to our educators on #TeacherAppreciationDay. As a former teacher I know you’re the ones who inspire our young minds and light that fire. I’m always proud to stand with you.
Another small group google meet 🙂 today we did a Kahoot! all about the state of MN & shared what has been keeping us busy during this time 🥰 their positive attitudes inspire me!
I can’t stop smiling after my first small group google meet with my students today. They missed each other so much! We played a kahoot and had great conversations. Proud of these clearly amazing 4th graders ☺️
