I have these white boards in my classroom along the walls (as well as a couple bigger ones in the back and front of the room). So, I have eight groups of white boards. I’ll do a lot of activities at the board. An example there is choose important words from opening OM&M, write mood, and draw it.

This was as topsy-turvy of a week as I can recall for myriad reasons, but I want to start here: how ridiculously cool it was to see this value of "telling the good stories" being centered/uplifted so much. Shout-out to @edutopia.org and @teacher2teacher.bsky.social for this, first and foremost!

full quote text: "We need to tell the good stories, too, about what is happening in our classrooms and schools, to tell them frequently and loudly and meaningfully. (Because we know no one else is going to at this point.)"
