#ReadingMatters

@TeachMrReed I always believed my students were counting on my high expectations. I always told them to “Think Cream!” because the world is full of mediocre and, like cream, they should always rise to the top in all that they do.

You CAN be the fun teacher, or the nice teacher, or the teacher that all the kids like, and still have high expectations of them to follow the rules. It IS possible.

We need to model reading to get students to read. Tell us: #WhatAreYouReading?

Thanks for making me feel special, OC! 💜💛 #WeAreOC @OCMSchool

@mrskellylove @nateswet Using a great audiobook with my class right now during remote/F2F learning, yet it pains me how many students won’t listen to even one audio chapter on their remote days.

@MWhitakerGood The abundance of truth in this breaks my heart!

This, my friends, is teaching with new technology during a global pandemic. Like always, #WeveGotThis!

@staceyabrams @dlaufenberg Her words were eloquent and spoke to the hearts and minds of so many Americans. ❤️🇺🇸💙
