👋RETIRING from Shenendehowa career: K-6 teaching (27 years) & Literacy/Instructional Coaching (8 years) !🥂Tigger said it best: TTFN, Shen!💚

Supporting students' successes: recent WalknTalk on very important topic on teachers' minds, using @jodiplace ASCD Supporting Emotional Regulation in the Classroom as our focus text. #walkandtalkPD ascd.org/books/supporti…

So glad I had the opportunity to teach & coach LETRS Volume I at Shen!

LOVE elem kids' artwork! So uplifting! 💜💙💚💛

Our podcast, Sold a Story: How Teaching Kids to Read Went So Wrong, is available wherever you get your podcasts. features.apmreports.org/sold-a-story/

Can't resist sharing this pic from a school in which I was coaching this a.m. Such a great start to the day! Love the balance of learning & fun! 🥰

Gail, Shen K-5 Tech Angel, will be SO missed! Happy for You, Friend! All the Best! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Gail (Lead Teacher for Tech K-5) and I (Instructional Coach K-5) were greeted by Murry! Such positive vibes in this building this a.m... what a wonderful way to wrap up our eight building check-in tour! 😊🙂👍🏽👍🏽

📚My lifelong learning colleagues joined for a #walkandtalkPD, this time examining Shifting the Balance. For more about this informative read, check out @drjanburkins & @Kari_Yates #TheSixShifts.

Tried #QFT Question Formulation Technique w poetry in @Kathie042500 5th gr. Used @JackieWoodson 1st poem in Locomotion. Readers engaged-- thinking, asking q's. Student reflected "I get to explore my mind for q's I don't usually ask." My reflection-- Choice of poem is key w QFT.

🌈After months of online Google Meets, it was a JOY for Gail & Julie to tour Shen's eight elementary schools together, meeting with colleagues in person... reflecting on the year and SPRINGing into Trimester 3!

This #ThrowbackThursday is #SHENsational2021 inspired with a collection of images celebrating 10 years of our World Village! Sit back and enjoy a video journey of snapshots from the last decade ✨🌏💚 youtu.be/ORgN5ZwqeMs

Late nights w CSPAN to hear Republican & Democrat arguments. Just heard this on radio; reflecting this is a CONSCIENCE VOTE, not for re-elections or $ in bank accounts. How will our U.S. senators vote? American Flag Flies For Democracy, Not Against It npr.org/2021/02/13/967…

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

For the first time ever, there will be a special live broadcast of the Inauguration made especially for students and families. You can tune in live at 10am ET on #InaugurationDay. To learn more, go to bideninaugural.org/youth. I’ll see you there!

What Tye said.

And we will always be grateful for the men and women who stayed at their post to defend this historic place. To those who wreaked havoc in our Capitol today, you did not win. Violence never wins. Freedom wins. And this is still the People's House.

Today’s shameful assault on our democracy — anointed at the highest level of government — must not deter us from our responsibility to the Constitution. Tonight, we will move forward with the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s election.

White privilege is on display like never before in the U.S. Capitol. If these people were Black. . .well, we all know what would be happening right now to them.

Two great joys in life: snow days & singing for fun with my kids❄️🎶 drive.google.com/file/d/1IAk5xm…
