Perfect union

On this last day of the week, I don’t want you to overburden your already overburdened hearts and minds with work related issues. Today, the Friday after Wednesday, the day the Presidential electoral votes were to be counted, we are all Americans.

We have experienced the democracy that we have taken for granted be shaken to its roots.  And, it is unsettling, to say the least - to see the seat of our government taken over. 

Isn’t there enough going on with our very lives threatened by the Covid?  Many of our families being jobless; many of our neighborhood businesses closing or close to closing; our school staff taxed to the max in terms of adapting to virtual leaning and then to hybrid.  Enough.

We look at the events of this week and are aware more than ever we need to build bridges, not walls.  And, as educators, we have the tools and the mindset to build moral bridges that will unite not divide.

This weekend take time to clear your heads and lift your spirits. Think about how important you are to all those you love – our students being central to those you love.

A more perfect union begins with you and me.

Slice of life

Good evening  I am curious about your own writing.  Do any of you have a writing practice, such as, journaling?  Just wondering.  If I were a betting man, I’d put money on it that many of you do have a writing habit of sorts – if not now, perhaps earlier in life.  Please consider sharing a posting with us – or even on the bigger stage of Two Writing Teachers Blog. Last week I talked about the blog – Two Writing Teachers. This blog offers us the opportunity to share a piece of our own writing on pretty much any subject. You will find the means to do that under “Slice of Life” .  Just wanted to throw this out to anyone so inclined.  I’m going to push myself to post something.  Courage, right?    At any rate, my thoughts on writing focused on Heart Maps or Close to the Bone maps.  It seems to me that such a map would be beneficial for different writing responses, and most especially when we require students to write to an on-demand assessment.  We want to get a baseline

Friday Reflections - ELs

I valued  Francisco and Lucy’s presentation earlier this week on our  ELs. District 100 is fortunate to   have both of them who   dedicate so much to helping all of us meet the needs of   our ELLs. A  special shout   out to Francisco   – he  has the same back story   as do many of our students -  Francisco’s story is a great story of the   American   immigrant.    He grew up in   Nicaragua speaking mainly Spanish and had to learn English while being immersed   into the   American culture. And now, Francisco is teaching us how to best   support our EL students.  Bravo,   Francisco – you have   some “creds” on the subject of ELs.   Francisco   and Lucy’s presentation included a wealth of information – much of the   information I have heard before, but I   have to admit that I need more exposure   to how ELLs learn the language of school. Studies suggest that it take five to   seven years for students to become proficient in learning academic English. Lucy and Francisco   ended their

Phase 2

Amanda Gorman wrote and delivered the perfect message for all of us.  The poem’s title is spot on “The Hill We Climb” - and its message is so fitting for schools. This week we moved up the hill when our kindergarten and first grade hybrid kids came back into our school -   their school .  A kindergarten girl came into the building and said "I've been waiting years for this day".   A first grade parent stopped and said we were thinking about the timeline and our daughter has spent more time in remote learning then actually in the school; parent and child were both excited to be back in school and the girl remembered most of the building. And, when teaching began, you began the delicate balance of teaching to the kids now in front of you and teaching to the Zoom kids.  You are the maestros conducting the wonderful orchestra of learning.  For sure, hybrid throws off your rhythm, rattles your securities, but what you accomplished this week is monumental! It’s you climbing up
