It's been a while. Art and writing have always been my safest place. Here's my newest post. I hope you read it and it resonates with you, somehow. XOXO-Kim #blogger #nohappyaccidents nohappyaccidents.com/2022/07/31/com…

I am so down with the minibreak.

I love the excitement of a new school year. This one is different, but the excitement is the same. This week I was able to help new teachers in ArlingtonHeightsSD25 access some tech tools we use. It felt so good to welcome & work with this new, amazing bunch! #D25ItsPersonal #BackToSchool2020

Hey PLN! Check out this really cool resource USA TODAY just came out with about influential women by state. Could be a really cool resource to utilize! So many amazing women highlighted! usatoday.com/in-depth/life/…

I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ this idea from Joy Kirr (she/her). I was so excited to preview this grid and couldn’t stop thinking about all of the amazing, 🌟 magical 🌟 things that are about to happen in her classroom! Thanks for joining me this summer! #Fligrid #FlipgridForAll #FlipgridD25

Kim Kusiciel I love this! We need to remember that our kiddos are learning the technology, as well as their parents, and they are doing it in a new environment than they normally would--the beginning of this year will definitely need 'bends' but we will get there!

Happy mail today!! Thank you themerrillsedu 👓👗💚 #interACTIVEclass for the fun #interACTIVEclass stickers and note!

These chocolate chip cookie dough bites are so easy that kids can make them on their own. You can customize the recipe and make them different each time.@kimkusiciel #30Seconds #cookies #food #chocolatechip #nobake #recipe #NationalCookieDay 30seconds.com/tip/13582

THANK YOU Seesaw for this! #D25InteractiveClass

Thank you Kristin and Joe and Kim for all of the great resources and inspiration! #D25InteractiveClass #interACTIVEclass @the merrillsedu

I have so many other words to add to our list, but yes Memorable is the ultimate goal. We want our kids to remember that we cared, that we are proud of them, that we honored them just the way they are, and that we can't wait to see them again. #D25InteractiveClass

Q10: Our chat is almost over, use ONE word to describe the vision you have of your ArlingtonHeightsSD25 classroom. #D25InteractiveClass themerrillsedu 👓👗💚 #interACTIVEclass #interACTIVEclass

Q9: Let’s share! What are some ideas/topics you have for making Clips videos this year ArlingtonHeightsSD25 peers? themerrillsedu 👓👗💚 #interACTIVEclass #D25InteractiveClass #interACTIVEclass

We also learned to create videos using the Apple Education app Clips. This app is awesome for students to use, but it’s also amazing for teachers. It allows you to create video content you can customize to share with your students. themerrillsedu 👓👗💚 #interACTIVEclass #D25InteractiveClass

Q8: Thinking of @SeeSaw, there were LOTS of updates this summer. We are a @SeeSaw for Schools district. With that in mind, themerrillsedu 👓👗💚 #interACTIVEclass, is there any feature we MUST know about that will add to our #D25InteractiveClass bag of tricks?
