There is no fall reopening plan for schools that doesn’t break our hearts. Educators are grappling with the most complex opening in decades. We are all in this together and we’ve got this!

“What do we know is true about writing instruction? What is essential? And how can we plan now to minimize the scope of the pivots we will have to make down the road?” - Allison Marchetti + @RebekahODell1 co-authors of Writing with Mentors. #writingworkshop hubs.ly/H0sX7ZX0

Responsive Classroom recently published a first 10 days of morning meeting by grade level for in person or virtual schooling. It’s a great resource. responsiveclassroom.org/wp-content/upl…

Keeping Play Purposeful During a Pandemic. A NEW blog post from the authors of Purposeful Play: @MrazKristine Alison Porcelli Cheryl Tyler #edchat hubs.ly/H0w9FYb0

These 1st graders are building community and friendships thru play in breakout rooms. Today we had an Avengers group, a group playing “school” and even a group having fun sending each other emojis. It’s so fun to listen in on their conversations with each other. Herndon Elementary

Today during play groups I entered this group and saw they had learned to share their camera so they could read to each other. ❤️ Herndon Elementary

Yes! Thank you! #ItTakesAVillage

Now more than ever it’s important to shift our thinking from “there is so much they need to learn” to “there is so much they already know”. “Welcome them with wonder and assume they have learned immeasurable and previously unknowable things”

Ended our shared reading by creating our own page of the text. Students thought about a snack for Oliver and used pear deck to show their ideas! Herndon Elementary @Ms_RBarranco
