Thank you, Gabby Wilson @UMichWGym for joining us as a guest reader today! The S’s absolutely loved meeting you, and having you read to them! Think they may have even said you were a “perfect 10!” #GoBlue @A2schools

Thanks to @A2Lakewood for a great first day back @A2schools! According to this G1 kiddo, “I didn’t know it would be so fun” and “it was 1000x better than Zoom school!” #mrsterryisamazing

This is truly amazing and inspiring. Eight. More. Days. Make your plan to vote this week, if you haven’t already. Iwillvote.com youtu.be/Jk7LPpY8pXM
A strange, but wonderful opening to the 2020-21 school year - my 7th in @A2schools and @A2BryPatSchools (and 12th overall). Wonderful to be back, albeit virtually, with friends and colleagues!
Nearly 1,900 staff members today took part in Day One of #professionaldevelopment. Thanks to all the session presenters for presenting culturally responsive tools, information, and so much food for thought. Back at it tomorrow! @A2SchoolsSuper @A2_IB @DawnLinden1 #A2gether20

My unsolicited thoughts on the @A2schools fall learning plan. Thanks to @A2SchoolsSuper for keeping the safety and health of ALL as the #1 priority...

This is a letter I knew I’d have to write eventually, but that didn’t make it any easier. However, at the same time it was necessary and therapeutic for me, and hope it is for my S’s as well. We WILL get through this together! @A2BryPatSchools @A2SchoolsSuper @A2schools

Crazy Hair/Hat Day today @A2BryPatSchools @A2schools, and since I don’t have the former, I opted for the latter. How can we bring this back and do a “virtual book tasting” @Bernade77407354?!?! #pattengillpumas

Elementary kids shouldn’t have more than an hour or two of work per day. That’s it. That’s all they need. Many miss teachers. Some are scared & anxious. & they just want their parents to be parents right & not feel like they have to be the education warden. Focus on play & family

It’s #MarchMadness/Sports Day for day 2 of virtual “Spirit Week” in @FrankelsFlock @A2BryPatSchools. Here I am with my AMAZING 3rd graders, supporting my hometown @steelers and local @UMichAthletics. Feel free to share your favorite team gear, @A2schools teachers and staff!

Dear Education, please don't over-complicate this situation. Let teachers offer some enrichment,encourage students to read, & check in on their students! Then let them take care of their own families, elderly parents, food shortages, etc. Don't make us look worse than politicians

This is a must read! I love how many of you are just so excited to get started on your homeschooling adventure and have all these cute spaces set up and awesome schedules, but you’re killing those moms who are just trying to make it through the day because this is NOT their jam

Can we PLEASE stop calling what we are doing "ONLINE TEACHING" already? We are not "online teaching." Why? Because we would never teach online courses unless we knew how to teach online courses. We are crisis-driven-global-pandemic-emergency-response teaching. Big difference.
