Thank you to all of the amazing volunteers taking part in our wall washing program. From March to November, 30 groups numbering more than 400 people #volunteer their time to carefully scrub & rinse the veterans memorials on the National Mall. #WashingtonDC πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

One of the hardest parts of being an educator is the lack of down time. You have to be on all day long. This is mentally and physically draining.

I just want one full day per week for lesson planning and collaborating. And 90 minutes per day to give students feedback and communicate with students and families. Then I’d be where I want to be as a teacher. Please and thank you.

We hope everyone had a great week! This week’s Fact Check Friday is on the historic Mendez v. Westminster case. It’s amazing how such a monumental case happened so close by. Stay safe and healthy!

Working on this timeline notebook for students to keep track of chronology as we study #ushistory thematically this year. For each time period they will complete: gist, events, geography, faces, student choice (fashion, music, etc.). Any suggestions? #sschat #ushistory

Done fiddling for now. Could do a cool reflection piece on the last page. Already wanting to change some things but it's a start! docs.google.com/presentation…

What does it mean to CELEBRATE vs. COMMEMORATE? An important Q not just for the 19th amendment but so many monuments and reminders of historical memory in our landscape!

Brainstorming transitioning to thematic this year for USH. I want to create a digital interactive notebook that's a timeline to help Ss understand chronology even in a thematic approach.

Ss will add info as we go through each thematic unit. Each slide/era or decade could include 6 word summary of gist, faces, events, and maybe a student choice category (music, fashion, sports) of that era.
