Earned the @Flipgrid 1,000 Response Badge this morning (thanks for posting P.M.)! Love the many ways students have been able to share their voices using @Flipgrid.

Annual highlight of the Centennial Cougars homecoming parade is hearing the @CHSCougarsBands Marching Band in action. Love the new uniforms & the energy of these awesome musicians.

Hey #MNeducators if you are working to integrate #CS or #CT into your teaching, this paid research opportunity might be of interest to you! The survey link has more details and does not obligate you to join! Spoiler alert: I’m the researcher ☺️

Last wk we started an investigation in class. I've been out ill 2 days. Each day I am getting barraged with student messages: "feel better & hurry up, we want to finish this investigation!" These kids are both sweet & invested.

Not to brag or anything, but I had 100% turn out at my scheduled conferences yesterday & today (37/37) and they were awesome! Feeling thankful to belong to such a supportive & engaged community and excited to see if we can keep this streak up next Tuesday. #SLPPantherProud

Out & about running errands today & everywhere I went I ran into past students. All had great news to share (jobs, college graduation, travel, engagement) &/or fond memories to recount. It was so humbling & uplifting to share in their happiness for a moment.

Celebrating my 20th year teaching at Spring Lake Park schools; was awarded a fancy pin for my service today. Spring Lake Park Schools

Even in the midst of a crazy end of trimester week students were excited to fill in brackets and post our hall display. Now we await the battles! #2023MMM
