I was in class during #theedcollab chat, so I'm late chatting it.

A5 Sometimes, joy means focusing on what I directly impact. My children, classrooms, and students are rife with joy and hope. And not being afraid to laugh and support others!

A5: my school crew has stolen a throw away bit from a really bad PD post 11/5. A story about how bison huddle together and walk into the storm to survive. We call ourselves the herd, send each other bison pics and memes, tokens and silly stuff. Slowly feeling less bruised and broken.

Last night was our last @theedcollab.bsky.social think tank of this school year and also the final of our 2023-2025 Associate Cohort.

It’s been an inspiring year and as one member said, “I’m in my feels.”

Thanks for making our Think Tank so powerful.

Anyone have a very short, like 1-2 page, script for 4th graders you could share?

Bonus points if it’s mystery genre and/or has to do with a misunderstanding.

Triple bonus points if it’s a PDF.

Online search is not yielding what I hope for.
