How can students spread kindness in their community and their school? The lesson includes 5 articles that can be read over 5 days. Extensions allow students to learn more about spreading kindness in their community.

Check out this text set I created! The text set asks students to read various articles about kindness and find the claim and supporting evidence of each article. Check it out here: https://t.co/3Z6rESJuB4

“Another problem is the near absence of history in the elementary grades, and sometimes the middle grades as well. Many students arrive in high school without ever having been exposed to historical topics in any systematic way.”

New report shows more instructional time in social studies—but not in English language arts—is associated with improved reading ability. Kids who benefit most? Children from lower-income and/or non-English-speaking families, and girls. https://t.co/ROpKpkQuuU

The Mountain West Conference is playing. If The Wolf pack and The Rebels can play in their respective cities, So can our high school students as well. Please do the right thing and let our kids play! @GovSisolak

Please @NIAASports, fight for our kids and high school sports now. Be leaders on this front. Do not watch while others, who do not understand the value of athletics for our students, make these decisions instead.

1/2 .... The NIAA’s job is to advocate for HS sports, not be dictated to by school districts. Is the NIAA studying what other states hosting seasons this fall, are doing to host those in a safe environment? I honestly don’t know. I hope so, but I’m still asking the question.

“Social-emotional learning is kind of an every-moment thing, meaning it’s in every interaction, it’s in all relationships, and so it doesn’t turn on and off depending on the setting.” The value behind reinforcing SEL learning in settings outside classrooms
