This year, I expect a huge learning curve as we all re-enter the school building. I think it’ll be fun, but also challenging, to be around this many people again #ExpectExcellence #choosepurpose T.H. Slater Elementary School

it’s so nice being back in a school building 😌

Silver linings: this pandemic forced me to slow down and re-evaluate how I approach teaching and relating to my students. I hope to carry that with me as we return to in-person learning #ChoosePurpose T.H. Slater Elementary School

I love to watch our Slater Tigers as they explore the #ProjectLearningGarden. Thank you Captain Planet Fdn & ash r. for giving our Tigers the space to explore & a special thanks to Food Earth Birth for caring for our garden over the summer. #ItTakesAVilliage

Some highlights from our first week of classes! My students received sketchbooks for the quarter, including our resident teddy bear (that belongs to a 1st grader) Excited to see what they come up with! #ChoosePurpose T.H. Slater Elementary School Ms. Salter

i just read a twitter debate about cake flavors for way too long, and the word “cake” shifted in my brain and i started reading it like “caké”

The most adorable ‘I love you’ face off between brothers. ❤️

Ok I have to share this. My boys just got a telescope for Christmas. I found my oldest now set up in the sunroom birdwatching. Then I saw he has a checklist. Melts my heart.

Stop lying and saying the “Safest Place for kids to be is in school”. No it’s NOT! The positivity rate is 30%! Our schools are overcrowded & poorly ventilated! Kids aren’t wearing high quality masks and the DOE isn’t testing or tracing adequately!STOP IT!

fortunately not true of my school, but still
