What piece of advice would you give a brand new principal? #LeadingTheWholeTeacher @ilprincipals
Let the adventure begin… #principal @ilprincipals
Join Malcolm Mitchell in the world championship of reading, #READBowl 2022. This free virtual reading event is open across the globe, where students can compete for great prizes, maybe even a VISIT from Malcolm! Link to register: loom.ly/q4hrfKs #ShareTheMagic of #Reading
MFGS is ready to kick off #READBowl 2022!!! 📚📚📚 #mtfproud @ReadWithMalcolm
You can't proclaim #WNDB & still promote Seuss for #ReadAcrossAmerica. There are SO MANY other choices tham dedicating 7+ weeks of kids' elementary life to one white man who produced racist work! One option is Reading Across the Diverse Regions of America. x.com/heisereads/sta…
$333 left!!!
Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! I'd love your help to bring my project to life: donorschoo.se/e/z2LqXlgebbb #mtfproud
Meet the newest addition to our family! 😍🥰😍
I'm no Epidemiologist, but if 9 guys can't play with a ball, outside on a big field and not get Coronavirus, millions of kids can't go back to school.
Come at me, but I wish as many people were pushing as earnestly for classroom libraries and access to books for students and their families as they do sports programs. You know who pushes for these? Readers. We always have. And we always will.
Time should be spent now on figuring out how to deliver books regularly to homes, get kids on WiFi w/ a device, get math manipulatives and art supplies out. In person school is going to be short-lived (if it happens at all) and might even be worse than remote instruction.
It’s a great day to be a Trojan! It was wonderful to see all of our smiling students and their families! 💙💛 It truly is a blessing to be a member of the #mtffamily! #mtfproud 💙💛💙
Showing my Trojan pride during our virtual school spirit week! 💙💛#mtffamily #mtfpride 💛💙 This is the first time in a few weeks that I’ve done my hair and makeup and I’m pretty sure my kid didn’t recognize me 😂
We’re celebrating day #2 of our virtual school spirit week by showing love for our favorite team and spending the day playing our favorite games! #mtffamily
We’re kicking off our virtual school spirit week with Pajama Day! 💛💙💛 #mtffamily

I am humbled & honored to work along side our outstanding teachers and staff...Happy Staff Appreciation Week 2021!#mtfproud
Expectations are so low for Black kids in the hood that institutions think they have to spend 2-3 weeks going over "expectations". you can cover expectations through meaningful content and still keep that rigor high from day 1.
Thoughts today: Stop w/synchronous & asynchronous-kids & families don't understand it. Let's use live & on demand. Educators are not dependent upon a building to do their jobs. School librarians may have shifted focus during virtual, but they are essential school staff members.
Come at me, but I wish as many people were pushing as earnestly for classroom libraries and access to books for students and their families as they do sports programs. You know who pushes for these? Readers. We always have. And we always will.
This is not ok. It is not appropriate. Don't do this! This is not the time, when over 130,000 people have died, to be make necessary life saving safety precautions cute. + with a new class, teachers have no idea how deeply traumatic this time may have been or if kids lost someone
Teacher Instagram everyone. Can we agree that trivializing this time with Bitmoji characters excitedly jumping around masked is just not it? 🤷♂️
Hey folks stay away from TV News...those people do not have a clue how to run a school system...your local professional educators do and we will have plans together to properly serve our communties well and safely...keep the faith!
Teachers can’t even get their student loans forgiven but you want us to go into a COVID nightmare, despite there being another, safer option? To “save the economy”?
It’s Thursday which means “Reese Day” for papa- she loves feeding Mickey and Minnie!!!
Got to take Case around my hometown today. Went to the neighborhood where I grew up and he listened to all my stories. Last stop was to see my dad. First time Cason has been there since he was little, meant a lot more to him this time.
ONE AFTERNOON! OH MY GOODNESS! MY ENTIRE @DonorsChoose PROJECT WAS FUNDED IN ONE AFTERNOON! Huge thanks to @jspatrick13, @HandleyHomies, & many more for their donations! Thanks also to @sonicdrivein for matching EVERY donation yesterday! Let's Bring on the Book Clubs! 📚❤️
Why am I reading aloud for over an hour, twice a week, to 9% of the fifth grade?! #1 B/c I am able. #2 For 10 kids. The connection we're forming as people & readers, the brief predictions & chats. & #3 The one email that warms my ❤️. Of course, you can borrow the book, kiddo!
Poured it all out there to read aloud for an hour to a screen of 9 kids on mute to see their reactions to our last novel study of the year. #worthit #remotelearning #readtogether
Teacher version of #PanicBuying: Hopping on @ScholasticClub website and buying a summer book for every student! Then paying for 2 day shipping so you have it in time to go home in their bookbags. 🤞#readallthebooks #summerbookclub
Took a page out of the playbook of @fairchildin5th this week and made a book giveaway incentive for my kiddos! Students earned chances to be drawn to win a book shipped to their house via @amazon by completing a @googleclasroom check-in each day! Prize Wheel Friday was fun!!!
In a survey of 55 fifth graders, when asked the open-ended question, "What is your wish for this school year?" 98% of the answers included returning to school...😢❤️ Stay home, people. Stay home for the kids! #remotelearning #kidscomefirst #thisishard
