Yup. That was fun. Wondering how effective fireworks are with zoom? Probably gonna have to try.
I have always loved the first day back with staff. This year we might not be able to light fireworks on the playground, but we can still bring the excitement for a new year. Best of luck to my colleagues and friends to inspire your team. #ICCSDtogether

Very interesting tool to bring into our learning!

#ICCSDTOGETHER Proud to be represented by a great team of relentless leaders!
Those of you that have chosen to attack and communicate diff with our lone Black board member today for the recommendation from the admin team and subsequent board vote last evening should be ashamed. We do not stand for that in ICCSD and she is not alone. #ICCSDtogether

A strong classroom community is crucial for positive learning - interesting read for teachers to start with. edutopia.org/article/fosteri…
Didn’t expect to read this thread - but I did. You should as well.
In November 1970, officials in Oregon, USA decided to blow up a rotting whale carcass. The whole thing went horribly wrong. Why do we bring this up? Well, this story can teach us 3 things about #coronavirus ⬇️

A6. Enthusiasm is contagious, when the learning experiences are genuine, authentic, powerful - students are empowered to be great! #ReinventTheClassroom

A5. #GlobalGoals help focus an idea and drive me from biting off more than I can chew. They empower me by building an enthusiastic head start. Many teachers need 'permission' to strive for greatness outside of their walls/materials. #GlobalGoals helps! #ReinventTheClassroom

Replying to @Patrick__Snyder
Makes the learning more engaging and even more tangible to them, right? #reinventtheclassroom

A2. Quality Education is an obvious #GlobalGoal standing out to me. Classrooms differ so much from room to room, school to school. ALL kids should get incredible experiences, no matter their zip code. #ReinventTheClassroom

Great ideas! Field trips are always a fun way to get started - even if they're virtual ones!
A1: I have not started using them with my students but I really would like to. I need to get my head wrapped around how to tackle the goals with 5 and 6 year-olds. I probably can start with climate, clean water, clean energy, and life below and on land. #ReinventtheClassroom

A1. Love presenting students w/ #GlobalGoals which have a more authentic audience as well as help Ss consider/understand issues outside of their immediate community. It's typically engaging and something they don't experience much of. #ReinventtheClassroom

🤔Thanks for sharing!
Important reminder that resources are great, but as teachers it is important to be cautious consumers. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and remember your “why” - “Is this best for kids?”
