@LibertyAutoCity A huge thank you for the best customer service EVER! Adam and Justin are amazing. #SUBARU #CustomerService #HappyCustomer

Maintaining relationships with students is critical during these times, and sometimes all it takes is a simple game to bring us together. Today’s XBlock Zoom meeting included 5 students, 1 Guinea pig, 2 dogs, and 1 game of BINGO. Can’t wait for next week! Looking for more ideas!

Ss @NBJH_D28 wrote My Dream Is poems and I am inspired beyond belief...@JasonReynolds83 @_KELewis #scholasticscope Can I get them to enter the writing contest? We shall see!

Tonight’s #CoronavirusLockdown family movie night #4, #bossbaby, is one where the kids have many lines memorized. Dad enjoyed @18thStreetBrew while the kids had @Skittles. @MarlaFrazee, thanks for a wonderful sibling relationship between the kids. We have 4, & we all relate!

@Cubs @WatchMarquee Is marquee available on Comcast yet?

Missing Cubs baseball? So are we. As @WatchMarquee recounts our 2016 postseason run (March 18-31, 7 p.m. CDT), we’ll share memorable moments and performances - and some you might have forgotten!

Making time for independent reading @D28Northbrook #distancelearning. Snap a picture of your IR book, record a summary & share your favorite sentence/line @Seesaw Keep them reading! @JasonReynolds83 @NealShusterman @mattdelapena @jamesdashner

The great debate. Is the narrator guilty of murder? Or is he not guilty by reason of insanity? Students argue for the prosecution or defense @NBJH_D28 .

Escaping room 110 @NBJH_D28 Ss read The Tell Tale Heart and practice vocabulary in context & close reading. Working as a team and having fun! So glad I found this great resource!

Oooh, I’m so intrigued @NBJHReads! What a great way to promote reading in the classroom. Any guesses @ncte?

Room 110 has spirit @NBJH_D28! Check out our Moana themed door decorations. The Ss really came together this year and worked as a team to complete this masterpiece! I’m so proud of them @D28Northbrook #schoolspirit #whyiteach #middleschool #moana

Let every voice be heard @NBJH_D28 We are practicing the art of discussion. Best question of the day: is it okay for a government to classify its people? #Redscarfgirl #facinghistory #SocraticSeminar

@Mr_P_SS_NBJH Have a blast!

Goodbye mom and dad! It appears they are excited! We’ll see you on Friday! #OENBJH19 #EMPOWER28

This is what happens when your colleague just gets you! She communicates with you via Punctuation Pockets @savallone! Thank you for this.

@ascelaya @ncte @ncte_elate This matters!

As a secondary teacher, I loved sharing my classroom library with my students. Now, I love giving my preservice teachers books to start their own classroom libraries. #BuildYourStack @ncte @ncte_elate
