@Newark_KS Practicing our recent word work lessons with custom Wordles. I LOVE listening to the conversations about words these students have with each other. They aren’t just guessing random words! Today, they surprised me by making me one to do. #ncsdlearns

@m_drez That is most DEFINITELY a unique experience!

@CSeymourKS This was at 10:30 PM on Thursday. It was eerily quiet and not a person around. We were just passing through as part of a road trip but I’ve never experienced DC in complete silence. DC night > DC day 👍🏼 for sure.

DC at night is always spectacular. Necessary pit stop when driving through. Memories of many years of chaperoning class trips come flooding back.

@CommonLit I’d love some recommendations for the like for 3-5 readers. We love your texts & questions but would love some ideas for giggles while we read. Impossible to Train is a favorite. 😊

Looking for humorous texts to lift classroom spirits? 😊 Check out these funny and satirical stories on CommonLit that are sure to get a laugh from your students: blog.commonlit.org/bring-humor-to… #edutwitter #engchat

They made a custom wordle for you. Share your results with us, please! mywordle.strivemath.com/?word=lfzgp

Like many others, these 3 @Newark_KS have joined the wordle craze (with a twist - I pick the word). Thinking strategically, applying word knowledge & having fun in W.I.N.? Now THAT’S a win! They made you one, see comments. #NCSDlearns

I had a data chat with a @Newark_KS student about the iReady diagnostic. It included BIG smiles about significant gains. And then… S: “I won’t get to come with you next W.I.N., will I?” Me: “Look at that and tell me what you think you need.” S: “I’ll miss you! But I got this!”

Practicing some reading skills during a checkers game in W.I.N. @Newark_KS. I need to brush up on my checkers strategies! A rematch has been scheduled. #choosejoyNCSD

@JillManuel216 @Scholastic @kellyswadling @Newark_PS @DonorsChoose I LOVED using Scholastic News with my students when we used to get it. I miss it!

Today, we tested out our new Scholastic News from our Donor’s Choose submission!! It was such a hit! They loved exploring non-fiction text!! @Scholastic @kellyswadling @Newark_PS @DonorsChoose

@lfzalacca @Newark_KS @CurriculumAssoc She was SO focused this morning!

My friend was so excited to have passed 30 iReady lessons in a row! Lots of hard work went into this accomplishment. 😊 @Newark_KS @CurriculumAssoc #fosteringindependence

@LaurenAngeline3 @eebrad5 @inostroza_joana @ROtero29 They were SO excited this morning! I was told all about them several times & taken to see them. ❤️

@ClareBotelho You said it perfectly! ❤️ He had a great way with others - kids & adults - and could connect with everyone he met. I learned a lot from him. And that laugh…

Mr. Brown taught me so much about how to interact with students and encouraged me to pursue equity work. Thank you for the conversations, kindness, and laughter my friend. We lost a great community leader. You will be missed. #RIP

@wirthlot I have & have read this book!

@AaronSweetNYR help get this thank you tweet seen by the rest?

When your @Newark_KS students get excited about new hardware and strongly suggest writing a thank you note. 😊 They understand the benefits & were happily utilizing it right away. #choosejoyNCSD

When you read a text about a paper airplane contest, participate in the discussion after AND tackle the work that goes with it all with focus and thoughtfulness, you get to spend the last 2 minutes making and testing a paper airplane of your own. #choosejoyNCSD

NOTHING sweetens a Sunday evening like checking your school email and finding an email from a former @Newark_KS student. This teacher is now ready for the week! #choosejoyNCSD

@NYSCATE The Beatles - With a Little Help from My Friends

#NYSCATE we need you! Share a song that is in the theme of being together or better together or simply a song that makes you feel good being around other people. We will add them to the #NYSCATE21 social media playlist! Share away!

When a student in your group says “I REALLY like W.I.N. Time. I’m glad we have it every day.” Happy Teacher Moment When the student tells the @Newark_KS principal the same thing completely UNPROMPTED & not in your presence, it’s time to break out the happy dance! #choosejoyNCSD
