“Learning is a human act, an emotional act, a social act.” Loved learning about SUSTAINABLE personalized learning from @paul_emerich #EternalLearner #PL #AMLE22

“Truth and conviction are not comfortable bedfellows and what one believes will often cast out that which is true.” #Gleanings #Read #QuotableMoments #Truth #ELA

Used a strategy I learned from Dr. Rebecca G. Harper book and talk at AMLE !! Students worked to sort quotes for their persuasive research letters. Kids were collaborating on facts & critically thinking about what part of their topic it addressed. #JML #Writing #LCPS

Set and ACHIEVED my goal to read 50 books this year! Was tough to pick my top reads but here are the four best books I read all year! #FemaleAuthors #BestBooks2022 #Reader #HistoricalFiction #Mystery #RealisticFiction

“The less we cement ourselves to our certainties, the fuller our lives could be” #LoveandSaffron #CurrentRead #ELA #Quotes

At the end of every year I always tell my students that once I am their teacher, I am ALWAYS their teacher. They can always come to me for help with work or just to chat. I want them to know they will forever have me in their corner.

Final days are always emotional with yearbooks and farewells but a student got me & @eholden_lcps in the feels with heartfelt letters and homemade friendship bracelets for us. I love our kids and how well they know us. ❤️ #LastDays #LCPS #JML #Team #BestFriends

Today I say goodbye to an incredibly meaningful chapter working at JM Lunsford MS & look forward to becoming a Broad Run HS Spartan!! Grateful to take all the joy & tools I have gained from one school to the next. I’m now a Spartan w/ the heart of a Lion! #LCPS #ELA #HIGHSCHOOL

A couple of long but wonderful days! Watching and supporting Ss as they map out their personal narrative is a joy. Their excitement to share parts of their lives is one of the reasons I love my job SO much!📝❤️ #BRHS #English #SpartanPride Broad Run HS

I love my B days because I get my coffee and snack fix from Cup of Spartan! Such a wonderful treat every other day. The students who run it bring me joy ❤️☕️
