I guess @DanBridges203 doesn't follow @GovPritzker. xitter.gq/GovPritzker/status/148…
Today, and through the week, most of Illinois will see increasingly severe weather, with Central Illinois experiencing blizzard-like conditions. Given the possible impact, I’m authorizing a disaster proclamation for Winter Storm Landon and activating 100+ of our @IL_Natl_Guard.

I’m showing a little love and appreciation for my students as we inch closer to Valentine’s Day! It’s been neat to see students rush to the board to see if their heart has been put up yet! @GombertGators #77reasons

The year is 2036. I'm in an eerily quiet house. Both kids are grown and have moved out. I'd do anything to be quarantined with my 5 and 2 year old and the sounds of their tiny feet running all over the house. (This is how I started my day. Hope it helps another tired mom.)

Read Ed Week's op ed "We have a National Reading Crisis." They're right but they get it wrong: Children not only need a strong decoding program in the early years, but texts that allow them to practice these skills in context. Leveled reading doesn't do it!

The three best things my parents did for me growing up: 1. Limited my television/video game time to one hour a day 2. Let me try multiple sports and instilled a love of running. 3. Modeled to me that no one person was more important than another.
