Interesting read!!

Great read on taking field notes and reflecting on the week to make well informed teaching decisions from the authentic and real data collected from simply kid watching.

Santa was good to my kingergartners. Can’t wait to see the authentic learning they do through their new dramatic play center. Play is so important and I know that so much creativity, problem solving, and life skills will be created here. ❤️

My hope is that our new normal, today, exposes what was wrong with our old normal, yesterday, and sets us up for a better normal, tomorrow.

Don't forget-in the midst of online lessons-to let the children just read and be creative! Don't crush the love of reading with virtual worksheets only! #booklove #whyIteach @pennykittle National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) #NCTEvillage #ELAchat

Teacher working conditions ARE student learning conditions.

Giving students ANY kind of standardized state test this school year is just plain ridiculous. Are we testing who has technology access? Support at home? District's virtual platform? Let me remain professional and NOT include the words I'm thinking. Signed, a Texas Teacher

You're not grading assignments. You're collecting evidence to determine student progress and pointing them towards their next steps. Make the mental switch. It matters.

love yourself and love the kids. that’s literally all anyone should be asking teachers to do right now.

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is the work of childhood.”

I can’t even imagine what would happen if teachers and school staffs only worked their contractual hours, only fulfilled their contractual duties and only used the resources their schools provided.

Teachers are not babysitters. Teachers are not babysitters. Teachers are not babysitters. Teachers are not babysitters. Teachers are not babysitters.

We have been learning all about caterpillars and butterflies, we are sharing our learning through documentation. We have added comments and questions for others. can’t wait to keep adding to it!
