OF COURSE, in-person education is more effective for kids and parents...as well as the economy. Every teacher I know wants to return to their school building. However, if schools aren’t properly funded to open up safely, with clearer guidelines, this could lead to a huge mess.

PSA: 📣 Teaching should not be a competition. Sharing lessons, strategies, and advice should be how we do things. When teachers work together and support each other, kids win. #teachergoals

I really appreciate this simple and actionable move for distance learning. Promotes active listening/engagement, and nonverbal participation (critical for ELs).

We can only get through this together. #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay

Connections. Relationships first. Grace. Support. Understanding. Just let that sink in: This. Is. Still. A. Pandemic.

Teachers have been bombarded w/ #DistanceLearning resources & might be on overload, but I've been collecting resources all summer & have grouped them here by subject area & other needs. Tried to limit to credible sources. Hope something here helps. wke.lt/w/s/lwcw4j

Mark them down in your calendar!

Don’t buy your kids what you never had. Instead, teach them what you never knew.

The pandemic helps point out how ridiculous attendance awards are. If someone is sick, they should stay home and not jeopardize the health of others. #teacherlife

Check out my classroom on DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: donorschoo.se/e/unkYKA6MLdb Hoping to give students an outlet to express themselves through painting.

Over halfway there! Only $172 still needed. If you use the code LIFTOFF, your donation will be matched (up to $50). Even $5 would help give these students a creative outlet.

What Else?

Wish no more!!! Coming soon #googleClassroom will allow you to schedule assignments for multiple classes. #iegooglecamp #googleEDU

For the first time, I’ll be teaching some general music classes. Middle schoolers LOVE ukuleles, and I think it’d be a great way to engage the reluctant musicians. If you feel so inclined to help my classes out, any help would be greatly appreciated. donorschoose.org/project/huskul…

We’re about a 1/3 of the way to the goal! Thank you to those of you who have already donated. The kiddos came this past week, and many of them are excited to play ukulele. Most of them have never played an instrument before. Help make their dreams a reality!

Thank you for coming to our mini concert!!
