During @dist57 board meeting, Dr. Aumiller stated the district will be flexible with their staff as they work together to make the best possible remote learning. I appreciate that they trust the teacher's professionalism, whether they choose to work in the classroom or from home.

How can we expect our families to provide a safe+healthy home learning environment for our students if we can’t even provide that for our own families? There is zero reason why we should be working from our classroom to start the year.

Been working on my Virtual Classroom. I'm excited with where I'm at so far! #GrowatFO #62learns #2ndGrowsatFO

This is sad, because teachers are planners. We want to give the best educational experience we can. We've been asking- answers haven't been coming.
As of now, none of us know whether we are teaching remotely or in person. The volume and complexity of planning that needs to happen in a very short amount of time is considerable.

What does in person learning look like in the middle of a pandemic? 6+ hours in a mask. 6 feet of distance. Minimal movement. Anxiety. Is this environment conducive to learning?
Classroom 2019 = collaboration, socialization, fun, learning * Reality of classroom in 2020= isolation, frustration and fear * Don’t send our children back until school is really school again, a SAFE, FUN, ENRICHING place to be! @DPEA62

The School Bd. has directed D57 to move forward with the plan of holding full remote learning when school resumes and phasing in a hybrid model on 10/19 if it is deemed safe at that time. Please read Dr. Aumiller's Bd. mtg. recap/next steps, at this link: d57.org/July24thMessage.aspx.

Dear @JBPritzker we are on the rise again and schools are about to open. Superintendents around the state are in a no win situation. Make the call to go remote. Don’t let IL be the next FL.
One of my favorite requests is when one of the kiddos wants to get in the special seat and read to us. I love listening to their sweet voices! #2ndGrowsatFO #happyreading

We finally conquered this 550 piece puzzle, and the second the last piece was in they were begging for a new one! Let's see if Team Schar can fit one more in before the last day! #2ndGrowsatFO

Quick activity on idioms to get the kiddos thinking about interesting ways authors use language. They did a great job using context to determine meaning and then did a gallery walk to learn from each other! #2ndGrowsatFO
Trying something new using @StoryboardThat to inform others about how to stay healthy! Such a fun way to publish our writing! #2ndGrowsatFO

Turned a mini lesson on character traits into an opportunity to create "mirrors", where Ss went around writing words about their classmates! If only we could look in the mirror and always see the great things others see in us! #2ndGrowsatFO #spreadkindness
Ss visited The Grill, using different tasks to think about how they should spend their money! Great collaboration and conversations! #2ndGrowsatFO #GrowAtFO

Great turnout last night- the 2nd graders did a great job teaching their parents some of the Math games that have been helping them learn! #2ndGrowsatFO #GrowatFO #62Learns
