Super cute!!

Getting ready to meet my fabulous 6th graders!!! It’s going to be a great year! #springerspotlight

So true! So ready to see my students! So blessed to work alongside amazing educators! #springerspotlight

There are students in the building, I repeat, students in the building! My teacher heart is over-joyed!!! #springerspotlight

New RockwallHighSchool librarian Ryan Swindle is already in classrooms reaching out to students! Kids can't go to the library so he's bringing the library to them.

Do we have a library RockwallHighSchool Yep!! Is it closed? Yes for right now!! No problem for our librarian Ryan Swindle, he will bring it to our kids and teachers.

These amazing students are creating writing topic starters and sharing their ideas! Creating a purpose for writing! #springerspotlight

I am SO proud of my writers...from sci-fi fictional stories, to biographies, to poems about issues they care about...they are doing some amazing thinking!

I am so proud of these final writing products...but more excited about all of the “glows” my students were able to find in each other’s work!

Year 18 began today! I am so excited to start it at Lupe Garcia! It was so lovely to meet her! Also…Pearl will be staring there as a Kindergartner! Where has the time gone?! Go Gators! 🐊

Making learning come alive! Our new non-fiction unit started out with a book about Knights and Mrs. Jacobs brought Chain Mail…so heavy!! GarciaGators Rockwall ISD Elementary Schools
