I just wrote a @theactionnet letter: Act Now! Tell Legislators to Support Beshear's Vetoes that Support Teachers!. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/act-no…

@MrsGrahamsClas2 @GoogleForEdu @JCPSDI Thanks for mentioning that! I just downloaded it too!

I'm so thankful that I downloaded the grid extension for Google Meet! I was able to see my kiddos all at once! 😁 chrome.google.com/webstore/detai… @GoogleForEdu @JCPSDI #dolphinstrong #kygoesdigital #distancelearning

About once a year a teacher will accidentally send an email to the entire district (about 7k people). This is followed by teachers and admin, most with master's degrees or higher, hitting "reply all" and begging for all the emails to stop. It can go on for days. It's glorious.

Today we brought the JCPS Choice Board outside and set up our work station. What a gorgeous day. I hope everyone is able to get out and enjoy it! #TeamKY #TogetherKY #Patriot #DolphinStrong #WeAreJCPS @DunnSecondGrade @JCPSKY @GovAndyBeshear @JCPSSuper

We are synthesizing information as we meet in discussion groups using new photographs to help us thoroughly understand how pollinators 🐝 help plants 🌱 grow and survive.

Working as researchers in discussion groups we synthesized information about bees 🐝 from multiple texts to determine why bees are attracted to flowers 🌸 and which body structures are responsible for pollination.

Today these second graders having a Science Talk to discuss everything we’ve learned about how plants 🌱 grow and survive. We love these discussion protocols. Thank you @ELeducation

Closing out reading workshop today with a High-Five Hustle. Practicing our listening skills and sharing our thinking.

Happy ❤️ Valentine’s Day! Our sweet second graders had a blast yesterday. We brought in our decorated mailboxes and selected our favorites before stuffing them with candy and cards. Finally we finished out the day with a class 🎉 party.

I love how excited my kiddos were when I told them our buddies invited us to their fossils exhibition! Second graders, @DunnSecondGrade, we are proud of YOU! Keep up the good work! ⭐️

@ClassroomWonder @ELeducation @TrailblzingAbby @schofield2007 We just finished this unit today! Check out today’s tweet yo see how we turned it into an exhibition!

A common story can be found in this thread: First, a teacher is skeptical about an aspect of the curriculum. The student work wins her over. 😍 Hear about @TrailblzingAbby’s experience with this @ELeducation narrative unit: #KnowledgeMatters #elachat @schofield2007

Our Fossil Song for our exhibition.

Today we held our Fossils exhibition for @KristofecksMVPs. We opened with a song, talked about all of the books we read and things we learned, created trace fossils, and shared our illustrated narrative writing. Another fantastic unit from @ELeducation. #JCPSDL

Which objects are useful for building towers? These collaborative teams used solids to discover which objects on their trays possess the best tower-building properties.

Today these bakers followed a recipe to bake 3 pumpkin pies 🥧 from scratch! They were so 😋 delicious! #MakingTraditions

Students are discussing evidence from observations of photographs to sort fossils and non-fossils.

#SpookyReading is when you turn the lights out and read with flashlights and glow sticks. It’s also a great way to reward kids for great behavior.

Our creative second graders had 30 minutes to come up with a turkey disguise and create it. These turkeys are well done 🦃!

Happy Veteran’s Day! Our buddies in @KristofecksMVPs are working with us to make cards for the Robley Rex VA hospital.
