A nice upset win for the Red Riots. I'll bet a certain former coach is looking down and smiling...

Our #STEAM week with kindergarten is all about @MoWillems and @The_Pigeon
Today students are working together to engineer a bed for the sleepy pigeon. Then we will measure the beds length and width with unifix cubes. #PondCoveSchool

Every upper elementary teacher (like me) should spend some time in a Kindergarten classroom. What kinder teachers do makes upper grade teaching possible.
“How do we change the narrative from ‘how do we teach kids how to read’ to ‘how do we make our kids joyful readers’?” fb.watch/4M5hU9YDmZ/
So excited to spend the day with @LesleyEducation and @SonjaCherryPaul learning all about kids, books and anti-racism through book clubs.

You might be able to do some important learning in an unhealthy school climate, but I'm pretty sure you can't do your best work there.
#kinders publishing their writing to @BookCreatorApp today. It is truly a game changer for remote learning and sharing with families.

That staff member who is speaking up in those meetings, asking critical questions, pushing for more intentionality, interrogating school policies is an ASSET. Stop treating them like a threat.

Had our 1st We Got This! book club meeting! Powerful conversations full of vulnerability, reflection, & a motivation to do better for our students! Huge thanks to @MaineTOYA & @tedlund1 for their support with planning & funding & to author @MisterMinor for sparking action!

If we can completely change the way we teach, we can completely change the way we do staff meetings.

Through a generous grant from our Education Foundation #CEEF we were able to make #CoderExpress goodie bags. They contain all of the materials for the unplugged activities and of course a cookie and some hot chocolate! Over 250 families signed up! #PondCoveSchool

Kindergarten is designed for young children, who learn best by doing. Literacy and math are covered, but make-believe and mastering the playground are also critical elements.

@MarsdenKinder,a kindergarten teacher in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, said, “In the spring, we all got really comfortable in our pajamas, and it took on a world of its own, because we didn’t know what to expect…Make sure those lines don’t get blurred.”

In @JessGrose's @nytimes article, she asks @MarsdenKinder, Dr. Dunya Poltorak, and Katharine Hill for their suggestions on "How do I keep their love of school alive in these unusual and unstable circumstances?" ow.ly/H1EJ50Bj8gv
How do you show leadership? How do you measure great teaching? This. This is how. @PondCoveTech
