Hey Mick Gillispie - listening in today. Wondering about expectations this year for JHey. Lots of talk re: improvement from KB, Yu, Contreras, Javy. Not much JHey in the conversation. ?? Is he critical piece?

Know a great bilingual teaching candidate? School District 45 is hiring! bit.ly/bilingualteach…

“Don’t smile till Christmas” is the worst advice ever. Laughter makes learning better for everyone, the students and the teacher. Kids learn more from teachers who smile.

Please get the behavior / clip / stop light charts off of the wall! My behavior is not a decoration for your classroom. Humiliation & embarrassment are NOT valid classroom management / behavior strategies. #edchat #thatonekid #kidsdeserveit #tlap #culturize #leapeffect

Parents see HW as communication regarding what their child is learning #edchat

Unfortunately the better team tonight took better advantage of a terrible strike zone #Cubs

MISSING: Bryant & Rizzo's production. If found, please return to Busch Stadium in time for tomorrow's game. #Cubs

It's the glimmer of hope the #cubs gave us that makes it all the more painful - we should have just given in to the low expectations

Except for #cubs pitching, fielding, and hitting, they've had a pretty good series.

For every new item we add, let's take two things off our teachers' plates. Starting now. Right now.

Noooooo! Don't pull him! 5. Outs. Left! #cubs
