Google Apps for Littles is a great read! I can't wait to start some of these ideas with my Kindergarten class next week! Thanks for the book @dsrptvlibrarian #jeffcogenerations #Kindertech

Can't wait to start back up doing our weekly yoga! I've missed this time with my peeps! @dsrptvlibrarian Mike Carroll tara effertz Libby Mrs. Justice

I can't believe how much Breathe For Change has changed not only me, but how I do things within my classroom. So much more of a calming feeling this year!

I've been on the road for 1 hour trying to get to school. I live 20 min away & I still have at least "10" more min (on a good day) to go. I can't imagine what the mountain schools are dealing with! Why can't Jeffco have delayed schedules if they aren't going to have a snow day?

And this would be why my 20 minute commute took me an hour and a half this morning!!

On Wednesday, January 30th, kinders Ryan Hawks celebrated the 100th day of school by creating things using different materials. They had to use 100 pieces at each rotation and be able to explain what it was and how they could use it. Jeffco Public Schools

We need to be spreading more of this kind of news more often

Sometimes I feel like the first day of every unit should be spent talking to kids about why what they are about to learn is important. It might immediately improve education by giving us all a clearly-defined purpose. #BoldSchool #edchat #TuesdayThoughts

Disappointed in the sub system Jeffco Public Schools I made 42 calls & texted over 300 people to try & get a sub for an appt I scheduled 3 months ago. Had to cancel because nobody picked up the job. We need to pay our subs better if we want to keep them working in our district!

"We live in a time when listening to others is almost deviant behavior. The loudest voice wins. Communicating respect is about hearing what each other have to say." Jim Knight 🇺🇦 #ASCDCEL

This is why I teach

School districts, for the most part, let’s remember that this isn’t homeschooling, or online school, this is making the best of a bad situation in the middle of a crisis. That should be what drives decisions.

We can control our: -Attitudes -Attention to our children -Acts of kindness -Gratitude -Behaviors to keep others safe We can’t control: -How long this lasts -How others respond -Idiots who hoard TP Don’t let worrying about tomorrow rob you of today. #SaturdayThoughts #satchat

I had the privilege of working with Mary last year in my classroom. She is an amazing teacher. She taught me a lot and gave me so many strategies to use for my student with autism. I miss working with her this year! #JeffcoSchoolsCo #ryanelementary
