Started reading I am not Esther to my class this week and they are HOOKED! Made me think of you @klbeasley and year 7 so many years ago (let’s not count how many) - loved it then and love it now.

So awesome to celebrate international #WomenInScience day at school yesterday with a windmill building STEM challenge and a screening of Hidden Figures. Got back to class & 4 of my girls were gushing about how much they enjoyed the movie.
Just discovered Thursday is UN #womeninscience day. @MaccaISMS @d4ni31mi113r @fivefoot3 want to help me run something? Not sure what yet...
Birthday adventures yesterday for my now 7 year old nature boy! Baby goats that eat out of your hand - what more do you need?

Kiwi educators. Am wanting hear from anyone who has completed their PhD part time will still teaching. Anyone know anyone? #edchatnz
Ahhh the classic.... I'm going to bed yet here I still am. #edchatNZ keeps pulling me back in. Missed this community!
Alright lovely #edchatnz people. I am off to bed. After several late nights of getting dance content online for my Dance School, it's time for an early(ish) one!
A3 calming down class of diverse learners to settle back into each other's company. Providing stabilising structure that still gives them the agency they've experienced while learning online. Ss who already had huge learning gaps before online & who haven't engaged at all.

A3: tbh, our number one priority is connecting with our young people every day. asking if they are okay. if they need anything. what is going on at the mo. if they need to talk. THEN we will think about academics. PEOPLE FIRST! CONNECTIONS MATTER #edchatNZ
A2: Focusing on connections. Had a google hangout today but only 14/30 made it on. Using Seesaw and Google Classrooms. #edchatnz
A1: Currently wondering how to connect with students who are not used to digital tools. New yr 7s not used to checking emails etc. and things escalated so fast we did get time to go through it as much as my class needed. #edchatnz
Currently in lockdown in Newlands, Wellington. Still teaching at Newlands Intermediate and loving it. Currently 4 days a week so that I can run my Dance School. #edchatnz
