"More images does not equate into more equity and having a heightened emotion, which violence will prompt, does not equate into empathy," says Nancy Marie Mithlo. npr.org/2023/11/14/119795427…
Here's your smile for the day: @gifted_academy scholars describing artworks for their partners to interpret...and resorting to other languages when words aren't enough. @FaithRinggold @columbusmuseum
Collecting seeds this morning I caught an unexpected (to me) herbal fragrance from blanket flower. A very visual person, it reminded me of the importance of noticing with all the senses we have access to.

The @columbusmuseum is such a special place for so many reasons. The art, the people, the space. It also houses an education department that is challenging the status quo of what schools can be. Do yourself a favor & take a look around columbusmuseum.org/resources… #teachers

When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers.
Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy.
Free play is a key to happiness and growth.
Differentiation all the way down, peer feedback choice board and tech or low tech option (you know what I chose lol)
