Virtual Classroom ✅

This week we received an update about our schools reopening plan. We will be going remotely until further notice. Although this is the safer and better plan, it’s still feels...well😩.

Meanwhile, I have no idea what the first day of school is suppose to look like but this trend is so much fun to play around with and get motivated for online learning.

I’m obsessed with how this turned out. I’m keeping it simple so the kids don’t get too distracted on the first day.

And remember, don’t feel like you have to do something just because it’s trending for now. I did play around with but that doesn’t mean I have to use it.

DO YOU! Do what you think will work best for you. There will be a lot of trial and error as we all try to figure things out.

Now moving on to project 2: making my own google site for easy access to classroom information for both parents and students.

Let me know if you have any tips and/or tricks to make this process a little easier in the comments below.👇🏼

I absolutely love the message behind this book. Young Gifted and Black includes 52 heroes from the past and present.

Together Jamia Wilson and Andrea Pippins hope to encourage the next generation to become artists, activists, doers, makers, healers, and dreamers.

I don’t know how or what the first day of school will look like but I do know this book alongside many others will be displayed to inspire my students to become whatever they aspire to be and what better way then by reading about people just like them.

I received this book a couple of days ago in the mail through a community book exchange on here and it’s definitely a must read.

Dear Martin by Nic Stone is a powerful story that showcases the history and present of racism in America by outlining that white people with privilege should acknowledge their advantages and their own implicit biases since pretending that racism is no longer an issue makes it harder to address the racial injustice and systemic racism.

Justyce is top of his class but none of that mattered to the police officer that put him in handcuffs. Justyce writes in his journal that he addresses to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (hence the title) for answers because he admires King’s teachings, but do they still hold up anymore?
