@PreK33 @TheThinkingProj I experienced the same. My second grade parents and students just wanted books in their hands! My school did everything we could to make sure families continued to read together

@TheThinkingProj My families were hungry for anything I could share with them to help their children learn during the damn-demic! They weren't choosy about what it was or where it came from. #edchat

We've heard that covid led parents to see what was being taught, and some of them disagreed with the curriculum. This could be a factor too #edchat

@PreK33 @ShiftParadigm @RitaWirtz @DennisDill I agree! Many books have offered me new perspectives into worlds I would have never been able to imagine. #edchat

@ShiftParadigm @RitaWirtz @DennisDill When a book is banned, it makes me want to read it more!! Many of the banned books are good reads! #edchat

Welcome to #EdChat Topic: With the surge in book bans, it's crucial to discuss: How do we ensure access to diverse narratives for our students? What role does literature play in fostering critical thinking? Join the conversation and share your experiences. @RitaWirtz @DennisDill

@TheThinkingProj Unfortunately, yes. I believe in the importance of self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible-decision making

The last time I was in a homecoming parade was circa 2003 when I was on the Homecoming Court! 20 years sure flies😳
I also realized it’s impossible for me to not throw out candy to every kid that smiled and waved at us. I may have run out of candy, but I sure had fun!!

Teachers and administrators, this is a FANTASTIC read! 🩷

I’m opening a space to write a bit more publicly again as I realized I’ve missed it. Here’s the first take: how we as teachers offer security blankets that can transform into our students’ superhero capes. #oklaed #ntoy23 @rebeckapeterson/blankets-capes-19c15e74f2ef" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@rebeckapeters…

Every day may not be good, but there’s something good in every day.
Take a look at how this second grade teacher is helping her students practice joy.

It’s a great day when I get to spend it with Sara Russell!
Not only has Sara become a dear friend, but she’s been an incredible mentor for me during my Teacher of the Year journey.
Thank you for investing in me, Sara! I’m so glad this TOY journey has brought us together.

Inspired by @RebeckaMozdeh , I added a “One Good Thing” portion to my white board this year.
I am excited to celebrate the joy, both big and small, with my students.
Today’s one good thing is brought to you by the tiny friends my daughter goes to pre-k with. “Rory’s mom, we made these for your classroom.” 🍎❤️ #teacherlife #teachersoftwitter #ntoy23
