@kadamssl Wow... definitely thought contagious diseases tended to become less deadly the longer they existed/evolved. I am glad you posted so I could research more! Thank you! Regardless, LESS deadly is not NOT deadly, so it would still be an issue.

Today my hairdresser told me that viruses, specifically SARS-CoV-2, invariably become less of a threat as they evolve. I gently challenged this assertion. Apparently, I am wrong because an epidemiologist told her this information. I am tired. Thoughts and prayers?

@virginiog Gracias, amigo! 💕

El Autoaprendizaje es la habilidad de los profesionales del SXXI La dificultad es medir nuestra progresión en el autoaprendizaje ¿Realmente tenemos una mentalidad de crecimiento? Marta de @awordonthird hizo esta Tabla para medir la progresión de sus estudiantes. Me gusto

@EmilyVanDuyne @clhubes Kids absolutely need play. As an educator, I can tell you this is the best way for them to learn. Make the game more interesting if you're bored. If you're bored, you're boring. Be silly. Goof around! Add your interests to the play. It matters a LOT.

@CallMeMoprah YES! Thank you! My teal hair hasn't seeped into my brain and made me an ineffective teacher yet either! 😂

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts re: teachers dressing “professionally” or being rewarded with Jeans Days. Today I wore sneakers & leggings. I have tattoos, & 2 nose rings. None of these things negatively impact my ability to teach my students.

NO WE DON'T. 👏👏👏 Behavior charts are HARMFUL. PERIOD.

@susangbarber Yessss! Grammar is the least important part in my opinion. I teach third graders. Content above all else, always. As kids get older, content expectations do too. And how about our ELLs?

Grammar is only a small component of writing. A grammatically clean paper is not necessarily a good paper. Please teach and provide feedback on developing claims, choosing appropriate evidence, explaining evidence with commentary, and progression of ideas. #TeachWriting

I'm not really a call out person but for all of the English teachers who are only correcting spelling, commas, and MLA format errors and think they are teaching writing, you are mistaken. 1/1

@Upquark8 @RadioFreeTom Por que no los dos ?!

@RadioFreeTom People are still underestimating him and the threat he and his followers still pose. Why? Democracy is falling out in the states right now. He’s not pathetic, we are.

@edisonpublicsc1 @missruffio @MisterMinor Under statement of the year! 🥰😍 Though I am absolutely wild about my staff developer. I just want to have Alicia Luick and Cornelius Minor work in my classroom with me allll day. A girl can dream, right? This is totally likely to happen.... RIGHT???? 😭

Ready for @MisterMinor next session for @edisonpublicsc1!!!!! #wegotthis #teacherlearner

John Hattie argues that we can't presume the worst when it comes to #learningloss. Instead, we must diagnose and triage, and focus on what we've learned both in #education and in the ways in which #students have grown this past year. ow.ly/2T6650DSZxI

@JC0404 THANK THE LORD. 😭😂

Yesss!! #wwprsd

@jkirk___ How old are these kids?! I feel like this is above my third graders, but I'd love to do something silly like this.

YES. SO MUCH YES.

Not fair to say. I am not Christian. Christmas is Christian. My husband was raised Jewish. It has always felt like our cultures were unimportant and we were forced to participate in something we didn't want to. Like it or not, it's harmful to some kids. You never know which ones.

Lucky to work with administrators who care about what is important!
