Education is better because he shared his gifts. May he be our inspiration this year, when we need creativity more than ever.

Dear educator friends/Edtech brands, if you are a fan of a white “Edtech influencer” who has been silent while still pushing their brand or if they are showing performative support while also muting & stealing space from black voices, you are complicit in your support of them.
So proud of these second graders
PRESENTING the 2nd Grade Virtual TASK Party- SHOW UP celebrating how we depend on others by showing up. Our 2nd graders want you to know we depend on others by SHOWING UP. Their 2nd grade "show" is this website #LyonLearners #WeAreD34 #SHOWUP #eLearning

Shepard says “[teachers] will need a theory of motivation and a sense of how to develop a classroom culture with learning at its center.” Many teachers/districts now focus on culture/community in the classroom. That will hopefully lay the groundwork for future change. #CEP813

#WeAreD34 and we are sending smiles to front-line heroes and those in need. Kindergarteners sent letters and artwork to cancer patients who aren't able to have visitors. #D34forOthers
Some great ideas here #WeAreD34 friends

One of the best @KEVAplanks creations I’ve seen!
Soft Starts have been a simple and transformational shift (from morning work) that helps us build a joyful culture for thinking and inquiry where kids know their choices and voices are important from the first moments of their day... #inquirymindset #softstart #WeAreD34
We start our days building... Building towers and friendships and airplanes and problem solving skills and giraffe enclosures and our love of reading and more towers and connections and community! #softstarts #curiousclassroom #kidsfirst #LyonLearners #WeAreD34 thanks LYPR PTA 💕
Excited to think about how "By, with, and for the children in the class" can drive all our instructional decision making, starting with classroom design Thanks @emtribbett @christine_hertz @MrazKristine
“We can restrain ourselves from creating a perfectly curated room and have students walk in, instead, to a blank canvas -- a space ready to be transformed slowly, over time, by, with, and for the children in the class.”
@christine_hertz @MrazKristine in their book #kidsfirst

it's back to school season & I'm proud to be an educator in @glenview34 who is encouraging teachers to start the school year w/a blank canvas to invite students to co-construct their learning environment #BlankCanvas34 #WeAreD34 [inspiration from @christine_hertz & @MrazKristine]
Starting a year of learning with #BlankCanvas34 to help design classrooms so we "Start with a blank canvas, not a finished masterpiece & Let our space reflect our students.” thanks to #KidsFirst @MrazKristine @christine_hertz #WeAreD34 #LyonLearners Tips @ tinyurl.com/BlankCanvas34

Today’s quote: “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
― Fred Rogers
As educators, how are we supporting play? #WeAreD34
Thanks for learning with us Loren!
