We’re celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week all month long by “Giving Joy” to educators across the U.S. and Canada. We’ll be awarding 100 teachers with a voyage aboard our newest groundbreaking ship, Norwegian Prima. contest.nclgivingjoy.com/voteme/936682/…

@GreatBooksFnd I LOVE JGB! Thank you for the idea. My 3rd graders watched the video and then we used @Jamboard to respond and post one line that spoke them and why as a starting point for our discussion. @GreatBooksFnd

"Amanda Gorman’s poem for the Biden inauguration was addressed to 'Americans and the world.' We at the Great Books Foundation, who seek to use literature as a way to better listen and connect with each other, were tuned in and inspired." ow.ly/qgY350DmmIh

@MrsKChia @CarltonAvenue @USD_SUP You are definitely my super hero!

While enjoying my morning ☕️ my kids noticed a sign on our lawn. What a special surprise! Thanks #usdlearns for making me feel like “Actually, I Can” be a superhero! I’m proud to be a part of the superhero team @CarltonAvenue 🐾❤️. TY @USD_SUP for spreading the love!

A STEAM project and CGI problem based off our JGB story! We may have not been able to work collaboratively but we were able to share ideas and marvel at strategies and ingenuity! #WeAreWeaver #JuniorGreatBooks

@MrsKChia Miss you!

@FinchFreedman What a wonderful way to continue Junior great book discussions! Yes!!!! You are amazing @FinchFreedman those lucky students!!!

My class is amazing! They didn’t let a little things like social distancing, wearing masks, having desk shields, and reduce class size stop them from having huge ideas during our first Junior Great Book Inquiry Discussion! #BetterTogether #WeaverWhales

@LTungEdTech @Weaverwhales @sbuenrostro10 I can’t wait for you to teach me how you did this! I’m loving it!!! Bravo!

Saw Bitmoji rooms on my timeline and thought I’d give it a go. Not sure if I did it right, but it’s pretty stinkin’ cute. Shout out to my teammates for sending me their Bitmojis and putting up with my 1 AM emails 🤪 @WeaverWhales #WeAreWeaver

@YehCathery @wca171 It is the favorite part of my day as well!!!!

@YehCathery I miss my students so much that it hurts!

@shareTED @YehCathery @chronicle @ChapmanU @RowlandSchools There are four people who I credit for shaping me and inspiring me to be the teacher I am today. First is my mom who always saw my potential when I couldn’t see it in myself. The other 3 are Erin Kominsky, Dr. Cat Yeh, and you...Dr. Trisha Callella!

@FinchFreedman @YehCathery @chronicle @ChapmanU She was fantastic with her work @RowlandSchools as well!

Congrats to @YehCathery for the fabulous featured article in @chronicle! Fantastic math educator, author, and @ChapmanU professor! #math #education

Today I had the privilege of listening in on my son’s Google Meet. His teacher Mr. Maya had a quest speaker, a women engineer, share her story. Bravo! @OakLions #BetterTogether

Check out my amazing student teacher @wca171! She is leading a math talk through Google Meet! 21 out of my 24 students showed up to learn while keeping to the rules of social distancing! Way to go Weaver Whales! #WeAreWeaver @tsschmidty

What’s better than Seeing Blake Shelton on stage in concert? Watching him perform with Trace Adkins! It was amazing!

My principal is the best! Thank you Todd Schmitz ⁦@tsschmidty⁩ for purchasing these phenomenal books! I am excited to learn more and dig deeper into EduProtocol.

@sbuenrostro10 @wca171 @tsschmidty @Weaverwhales Anna Williams @wca171 is simply phenomenal! It is hard to believe that she only beginning her adventure as a teacher! I feel very privileged to have her fresh eyes, brilliant ideas, and wonderful attitude in my class as she completes her student teaching! Bravo!

Ms. Williams tackling two classrooms at once and introducing them to poetry. Using Quizlet Live to pre-assess the students! Wow, what a wonderful and engaging lesson. @wca171 @FinchFreedman @tsschmidty @Weaverwhales #WeAreWeaver #BetterTogether

Ok Linette Tung, now I’m going to cry!

@LTungEdTech @Weaverwhales I also love that she listens to my writing mini lesson and backs up her reasons with examples! In addition, she is right on the mark! You are all those things plus so much more!

I’m not crying, you’re crying! 😭😭Seriously though. This. This is my why. @WeaverWhales #WeAreWeaver

@YehCathery @wca171 @wca171 Anna did a phenomenal job at questioning the students all while bringing in real world connections and terrific visuals. Bravo! #WeAreWeaver
