The conversations these books have lead us to this week are incredible!! Thankful for the position I am in today, even if we don’t get to be in person❤️

These are our pages in history.
Let’s make them what we’d like to see!

What kind of goodness will you write?

Anyone who thinks required assessments and universal screeners are a good idea for school should have to come and sit with a class of five-year-olds trying to take an online assessment.

So excited to have Gerry Brooks visiting Burton School District today! Thank you @gerrybrooksprin 🙌

[Nicholas Ferroni @NicholasFerroni]

Today I told my students how much I appreciate them and how proud I am of them, and how I can’t wait to see them in-person.

After about 3-minutes of pouring my heart out, one of my students unmuted himself and said, “Mr. Ferroni, we can’t hear you — you’re muted!”

So fun having @mrsfunBSD teach us an awesome engaging reindeer drawing lesson. Great for the listening skills, too👏

Last week we focused all on hero’s and how they change our community. We got to write letters to firefighters and create our own fire engines! So fun

[Vanessa LaFollette @vlafollette_bsd]

A simple way my students can “take me with them” even though we are apart❤️ thanks @missruffa for the inspo

[Rich Villodas @richvillodas]

God. With. Us.

Not God against us.
Not God apart from us.
Not God apathetic towards us.

God with us.

My son did a thing today. He and three other students from school were invited downtown to create art on the windows & doors of boarded up businesses. Shout out to his art teacher for giving him some creative space to breathe into today. “We Matter”
