Please read @steph_in_second's compelling piece, …esofasecondgradenothing.wordpress.com/2023/03/29/fai…, that reflects on the school shootings our country has allowed to happen time and time again.

Summer reading came today! Can't wait to go on this journey with @emeier05 ! @TheSixShifts we are so excited! 📚📚

@missmeier17 Love this!

Thanks to everyone who contributed their experiences to this post. I hope it helps. cultofpedagogy.com/barely-hanging…

As of this morning, my youngest brother is officially safe and sound in his new home of Itoigawa, Japan. He will be living there and teaching English in the local school. I couldn't be more proud to have another teacher in the fam! ♥️🇯🇵♥️

“When kids are feeling their worst is when they want the most connection,” says @katiefhurley. When they lose control, what they are really saying is “I need you – I don't know how to do this." @dfkris kqed.org/mindshift/5854…

@MsMeier2nd That podcast was a great reminder. Thanks for retweeting!

Yes, yes, and more yes! Incorporating cooperative learning structures, teaching questioning techniques, and using GRR help students feel more confident and academically safe in the classroom. We want empowered learners, not stumped students! 🧠📓

Good questioning may be the most basic tenet of lifelong learning and independent thinking that school offers students. kqed.org/mindshift/5118…

Not just in math, but in life in general, ask yourself "What if?", try it out, and see if it works.

Please check out this article i wrote about language learning for one of my classes (I have to get 1,000 views for full credit so I had to dust off the twitter account for this) buzzfeed.com/chrismeier13/5… #LanguageLearning #study #日本語 #日本語勉強 #LANGUAGE #onlineclasses

My brother taught himself Japanese and is now fluent. He is planning on moving there and becoming a translator post graduation. Check out his article on tips for language acquisition! buzzfeed.com/chrismeier13/5…

@MsMeier2nd @hpodjasek I totally agree Steph! Proud to have raised such a rock star teacher!!!!

We were talking about answering q's today in one of our lives, and I asked the question "what is your favorite time of day?" One of my S's answered "SEL time because everyone is together and we have a great time". My heart! This is why we build community. This is why it matters.

Don’t look back. You aren’t going that way.
