Tonight, let's have tributes of appreciation for school teachers. Because you're amazing, vital engines of optimism that our nation can and will become a better place. Thank you to all who answer the call to service. May the country that emerges appreciate you more.

Researchers reduced social media toxicity for teen girls by having them follow high-achieving women with shared interests. Their vision expanded from the superficial to the possible. One girl who followed a female astronaut started monitoring @NASA's feed. psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…

Therapy dogs have played a big part in the healing at Marjory Stomeman Douglas High in Parkland this past year, so it’s fitting each one got a listing in the @AerieYearbook.

On Earth Day I acknowledge the planet my generation and those who followed inherited isn't the one we're leaving to those who come next. We've made progress in some areas, but climate change overshadows - a failure of leadership, imagination, and empathy.

Wow, just Wow!
Today in Y6 we looked at poems that could be read forwards & backwards. I was stunned by this one written by one of my 10 year olds. Please share - I would love her work to be appreciated further afield. I wonder if it could even find a publisher?

Genius! @littlebits used to make a jump rope “hand” by some creative, imaginative 4th graders in @abuschbvsd class. #bvsdmakers

A4: I have a nice classroom library. It doesn't matter how many books I have, it could never replace a school library run by a certified librarian. Kid need both. Kids deserve both. #g2great

2nd graders shared their “How to stay safe in severe weather” videos with kinder audience. Authentic feedback from kinders was priceless. #PBL

5th grade poetry slam with @BrinkerJen. I laughed. I cried. I was inspired. My favorite “Did someone just fart?”

Yesterday my class used @Flipgrid to leave WW2 questions for my Nain who was a child during the war. Today she learnt how to use Flipgrid and answered their questions! I can't wait to show them on Monday! #IntergenerationalLearning #FlipgridFever #mieexpert
