We are having so much fun with our new literacy activities! Magnetic letter board and alphabet manipulative blocks. #TeamTrace

Don't threaten to send someone to the office (unless it's an emergency): 1. That makes your administrators the bad guys. They should be seen as people that help people 2. That takes away your power 3. That damages the relationship with the kid 4. It's an easy escape for the kid

I’ve always felt like #2 is the equivalent of saying, “just wait until your dad gets home!”

We enjoyed collaborating with MissChristieKClass to research & learn all of the differences between the 1920s and the year 2020 for our school-wide project! We can’t wait for the walkthrough tomorrow & to see everyone’s hard work! #TeamTrace Quincy Collins Becky Edwards, NBCT Trace Crossings Elem

Restorative circles. Love taking time to hear my students share, and encouraging the rest of them to listen. 💗

Letter hunting in our Daily News!

Had a sweet time on a Google Meet with some of my kiddos this morning. It’s challenging building community in a class with half not being in school together, but this was a place to start. ❤️

It’s OCTOBER! And I can’t wait to make predictions about these funky pumpkins! #TeamTrace

One of my favorite sounds in the world is a child reading. ❤️ #TeamTrace #HCSStrong #WelcomeToOURHouse

I still remember sitting in this little circular window and reading when I was a student at Trace Crossings Elem. I hope reading is always as nostalgic for my students as it is for me. This is a special place! Quincy Collins Becky Edwards, NBCT

After returning from maternity leave, I feel so blessed I have multiple colleagues willing to come model new curriculum for me! TCES is blessed with so many incredible teachers. Thank you, Ms. Mundy. ♥️
