Visiting our @NESnewcomers class, and hearing their excitement about recognizing who I was and saying it in a sentence was quite a highlight in my day today! @NorthsideES @csharpless1 @ell_nes @NESlibrary @chccs #SchoolYearMoments #Day4 #WhatMadeMeSmileToday #NavigatorStrong

A great reminder that our students will work hard to balance school and home - but in some cases they shouldn’t have to. Also: Eid al Fitr is based on moon sighting, so the day of celebrating can vary. That assessment I was going to finish on 5/13? It can wait! @ell_nes
Pls don’t schedule assessments & evaluations on or around Eid-ul-Fitr, May 12,13 & 14th-it’s the equivalent of asking students to study for & write assessments on X-mas eve, X-mas & Boxing Day. Muslim students may not know how to advocate for themselves- be culturally responsive

Learning to belly breathe and ground ourselves while wearing jammies was a great way to start #NESGotSpirit week! Thanks to @CounselorClick and @NESSELCounselor for the Mindfulness Monday choice board - @NESnewcomers want to use it daily now! @APJonesNES @NorthsideES

One of our @NESnewcomers students had to go overseas for a family emergency. 7 hr time difference - still participates actively in all online classes. This 11 year old was denied access to education “when she was little”, and she’s not letting ANYTHING get in her way now.

Imagine what our world would be if it were filled with champions of restorative justice. We create this reality for our future in our classrooms today. @BLMAtSchool #GuidingPrinciples #RestorativeJustice #BLMatSchool
It is Black Lives Matter Week of Action. Another Guiding Principle is Restorative Justice. @BLMAtSchool @CSharplessNES @APJonesNES @NESlibrary @chccs @CHCCSEquity #BLMatSchool #NavigatorNation #NavigatorStrong #StrongerTogether

In a special Last Word, @morgan_freeman reads the words of John Lewis’ final essay, which he requested be published in the New York Times on the day of his funeral: “Together, You Can Redeem the Soul of Our Nation.” on.msnbc.com/2Phh4kZ

This needs to be repeated daily, for me, you, and louder for those in the back: “How do you speak about your black and brown students when someone asks? If it’s not rooted in genius, you need to start again.” Thanks to @KatColeReads for the heads up on this great seminar! x.com/teralynp/status/128857…

Asked what made me come out. I don’t get a pass!!! OUR district has work SO guess what... WE, Us, ME are ⁦⁦@chccs⁩. If our black and brown scholars are going to receive the tools that move them forward not 1 step back, the collective MUST be at work

Any guesses, @NESnewcomers or @ell_nes?
#NavigatorOfTheWeek Who is it this week? I've eaten roasted silkworms - NOT a fan, but I'd eat them before lima beans. I majored in archaeology. I'm a sabre fencer. My 2 fav hobbies are kayaking & cross stitching. I can read 6 writing systems, but I only speak 2 languages well.

Thank you so much for joining the @NESnewcomers and I @APJonesNES! The students have already requested your return, and are holding me to playing your game at least twice next week! 🧡💙☺️Love our #NavigatorNation!
It's #NESSpiritWeek and today I got joined @NESnewcomers and led an activity with the class. This made my ❤ smile. Before the students popped on @jiangesl and I realized that we were dressed for #NavigatorFreshFriday with the same shirt! @NorthsideES @CSharplessNES @chccs 💙🧡
