When in the area, might as well do a little work. Current classroom status. Don’t worry students, it will look a little better by the time you get here ;)

Partner work and groups are so valuable in the education of students. I am so grateful that we are able to do this again. @eecsportland @dan_nogar @KFream2

Don’t worry about so-called #learningloss; worry about returning to the same #testing & #privatization that loses the love of learning. #FightbackFriday #EdEquityNow #CancelTheTests #FundPublicEd @teachcardona @ianrosenblum 1/3
Truth! Shift the teaching. Change the #learningloss narrative, it helps no one.

Students can’t succeed in classrooms where there is a tool surplus and a strategies deficit.
Pedagogy before technology. Always.

Remote learning and keeping kids entertained but also learning can be hard for parents. One tool I use in the classroom that can be used at home is @ProdigyGame In class we use a free version but parents can also opt to be more involved by purchasing the game for their kids. 👍
Our investigation of the Sun-Moon-Earth is wrapping up and we’ll move into the Stars and our Solar System. Here are some of our models of eclipses!

Learning with the kids is what’s it’s all about today. A little science game to warm us up to remote learning day! @eecsportland @TeachingGenZ @KFream2 @dan_nogar
