Just called @DavidHogg111. He reminded me of the story of, after the battle of Shiloh, Henry Halleck urged President Lincoln to fire Ulysses Grant. Lincoln said: “I can’t fire him. This man fights.” David Hogg fights. The DNC needs him.

TCSMS PBL: Here are my classroom scrum boards from over the years. It really helps small groups stay focused on tasks.
No power at school, no problem! Perfect time to start Shadow Stories! #DART #artsintegration @SchuemannTCS
We read The Magical Yet by @angeladiter and then created our own “Magical Yets” that help us persist when things get difficult- using canvas and paint pens. Seeing them take shape as we sew them up and stuff with fluff is magical✨ #literacy #artsintegration @SchuemannTCS
Polka Dot Pumpkins inspired by Yayoi Kusama, Ss learned about organic shapes, created backgrounds on complementary colors using intersecting lines to create geometric shapes-we looked at Warhol’s pop art to create our final collaborative piece #artsintegration @SchuemannTCS
Sometimes we make art, sometimes we dance sometimes we do both! Dancers+Art=DART #dart #tcs #artsintegration #elementaryarts

Their hearts are full and therefore so are mine. Any day that starts with woodworking and hands on projects is a GREAT day! Ss sanded wood& continued building our Shark Art installation. @SchuemannTCS @LorenFoster @PBCSDSTEM @pbcsd @EducationFdnPBC @PBLWorks #PBL #STEMEducation
Spent most of the day helping my daughter edit her college application essay. It is so good. I am a puddle of tears. She has exceeded every expectation that I could have dreamed of when I started thinking about who my tiny baby girl would be in the future.🥹💗

🗳️ National Voter Education Week is here, don’t let ANYONE in your life get away with saying “I don’t know when to vote!” Share this calendar with them, and remind them that casting their ballot is a POWERFUL first step to fighting back against gun violence.
This⬇️ Scroll down for dance as assessment idea. #tcs
👉 Incorporate art
To get kids synthesizing their learning, ask them to show their understanding creatively—through video, visual art, acting, or movement.
They can create a dance to model cell mitosis or act out stories like Ernest Hemingway’s “Hills Like White Elephants” to explore the subtext.
