@shinboson It’s an allegory. Please read actual literary analysis of the story. It’s a cautionary tale and based on experiences the author had in WW2. This is one of the most misunderstood works by those who take it literally.

@DanWuori It’s more important now than ever for kids to interact with nature, get messy, laugh, and explore! Social skills and creativity are the foundation of strong and happy minds :) ❤️

[Tina Lance @tinajlance]

@CTUSpecialEd @heymrsbond Yes! I’m getting clear on absolutes- what is a skill I absolutely want my students to master this year and what does it look like for a student who is proficient, less, and least? Also- less talking on my part, less class novels, less grading…

[Tina Lance @tinajlance]

I don’t have much of a teacher following but throwing this out there: What if we ELA teachers taught just one novel over the course of the year and centered our writing units on this one anchor text? ( using supplemental poems, articles, etc…)

[Tina Lance @tinajlance]

@Chickad44472146 @mountiansrocky @MrDanielBuck Yes, or writing!!! ( which often gets overlooked)

[Tina Lance @tinajlance]

@DocBates2012 @MrDanielBuck Which curriculum do you use for literacy?

[Tina Lance @tinajlance]

@RdngTeach @heymrsbond I’d love to review your resources! Thx in advance.

[Tina Lance @tinajlance]

@heymrsbond Focus on a particular skill and build on that skill as the year progresses- with complexity and specific content knowledge- I’ve used the Writing Revolution sentence stems and they can be adapted for specific subject areas. https://t.co/SiOuf8xeE3).

@rmeyer4488 @heymrsbond I’d love to review the materials if you are willing to share! Thx!

@teacherquit We want to be part of a community, to infuse our creativity with learning, to provide an environment that we didn’t have, to share our passion and learn from those much younger. Lifelong learning- optimistic thinking- every day is new.

I know I'm supposed to tweet all day about today’s school shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville. With three kids and three adults shot and killed.

Just like I was supposed to write about the 11 other school shootings this year alone.

But f*ck it. I refuse.

We all know damn well who's to blame. You know it's the NRA. You know it's Republicans who are blocking sane gun reform.

At best, they ignore these murders. At worst, they LOVE them — because talk of gun reform will come up, and that INCREASES gun sales.

Either way, blood is on their hands. And the rest of us are filled with rage.

It's always the same. Every. Single. Time. And it must change.

WTF more is there to say?

I’m looking to add Asian poets to my March Madness activity for middle grades. Suggestions?

@colleen_cruz This is interesting. Can you direct me to more resources about teaching this skill? I know it as the impulsive lizard brain vs the discipline to wait and pause.
