Good morning from Detroit, MI! We're kicking off our day with @aftmichigan and @DFT231 at Charles L. Spain Elementary-Middle School, visiting students and their educators.

In this art class, students are learning about abstract, realism and symmetry.

.@rweingarten is helping students figure out math problems.

These 7th grade students worked on a Living Museum for their social studies class where they got to research people and present their findings in first person.

We're continuing our day in Detroit with a visit to Coleman A. Young Elementary School. @aftmichigan @DFT231

The school has set up a vaccine clinic inside a classroom to help ensure all students are able to get vaccinated.

.@rweingarten asking these students why they love 2nd grade.

Some of the answers we heard:
"I love learning!"
"I can read."
"I learn something new."

Thanks to all the educators, students and staff for welcoming us into your classrooms today.

We're closing out our day in Detroit at a meeting with @aftmichigan leaders to discuss the issues our members are facing across the state. @rweingarten #IamAFT
