Ms. Caruso

Thank you @sandiegozoo for bringing so much joy to our classroom this morning 🤩 y’all are the best!

I loved diving deep into our reading skills today! 🐠 #bhebettertogether

@msamylemons @kdpearson 👀

Here's a sneak peek of the NOW digital Shape Santa activity mentioned in the post! {Current users, redownload to access}

@sheathescholar @kdpearson 🙌

teachers are so desensitized to trauma and so used to being told to "work through it." we work through crisis after crisis. every day I wonder - what will healing look like for teachers after this crisis?

Race is a social construct to benefit white people and harm people of color.... in case you did not know....

@Ben_Dickey44 Awesome, I’ll have to check it out! Thank you 😊

@viewsfromfirst Common said that in a video I watched!

White silence = white violence

Currently reading #HowToBeAnAntiracist 📚 “Denial is the heartbeat of racism.” Who’s reading with me? 👀

I’m excited to announce that due to the incredible demand, #AntiracistBaby the board book is now a picture book! The hardcover picture book drops on July 14th. usatoday.com/story/entertai…

To my white educators: Today, you’re posting about social justice, buying antiracist books, following brown folks, and temp changing your profile pictures. (thread) Here’s what I need you to do tomorrow:

@kdpearson I was so impressed they were able to show off what they’ve been learning! Thank you for the great idea 💡💕

Y’all @viewsfromfirst and I decided to do a #challengeoftheday and we are amazed at the learning that is occurring outside of the classroom! 😍💕 #fortheloveoffirstgrade #empoweringbearabhe

If Kindergarten had more dramatic play, blocks, kitchen, housekeeping, art, and music...the students would have time time practice their social emotional, problem solving, and self regulation skills. Then, their brains will be more prepared to learn foundational content & skills.

@Ben_Dickey44 Love this Ben! You are doing great things 😊

One of my most challenging students wrote me a letter today. This is the reason I started teaching was for these impromptu moments when the children themselves let me know that I am doing the right thing for them.

Respect is earned, not given. This includes student and teacher relationships.

@kdpearson This is perfect!! It would be great to review sight words too👀

@viewsfromfirst omg let’s try this

@emilyestes29 A5: I am not a pro at this, but I do *try* to give myself a cut-off time each day. Then I reward myself with guilt-free Netflix time 📺#BHEbookstudy

Our last question...#BHEBookStudy

@emilyestes29 A4: I liked the idea of giving something to keep their hands busy like a stress ball. Some Ss might need this to help regulate their bodies. #BHEbookstudy

Here is Q4 #BHEBookStudy

@emilyestes29 A3: we can use the visual of a two story house to help students understand their upstairs and downstairs brain. When we flip our lid the stairs are no longer connected & able to work together. #BHEbookstudy

We'll keep things moving in this slow-chat with Q3! #BHEBookStudy

@emilyestes29 A2: my parents taught me to be responsible through chores. I thrived with having little jobs. I would love to implement a rotation of jobs in my classroom. Kids love to be helpful to their teacher! #BHEbookstudy

Q2 coming right up... #BHEBookStudy
