You want to see/hear passion? Mary Helen Immordino-Yang - amazing talk about Emotion and Cognition. #MBEDeepDive

Day 3 of #MBEDeepDive and was asked to describe how I feel in one word - conflicted was what I came up with. Excited about these ideas and implementation. Overwhelmed with all of the negativity surrounding schools right now.

LOVE the idea of explicitly teaching students Bloom’s taxonomy! Metacognition is KEY! Thanks for a great presentation, Saundra McGuire. 👏🏻 #MBEDeepDive

Loved learning about Metacognition today, and can’t wait to explicitly teach it to my students this Fall! Are they stumbling blocks or stepping stones? #MBEDeepDive #teachafish

After a great discussion today with Sarah Welker I’m breaking this one out to reread on our car ride this weekend!

Definitely need to look through this because I’m VERY interested in learning how to use it this year!

Sweetest friend bought me this book after I listened to Patrice Bain this last week and I added it to my wish list 💜💜💜#alwayslearning #sweetfriendsaregoodforthesoul

Congratulations to one of my first 8th graders!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Thank you for your service! 💜💜 #proudteacher

My Mantra this year - students, be warned.. we’re going to be kicking ass and taking names to prove everyone wrong. Online learning is NOT inferior.

So excited to dive into this and gather up ideas for the new school year!

Let’s all remember that a hybrid learning model was never meant for K-12 education. It is not sustainable, has to many moving parts, and places so much stress on educators, kids, and families.

Hey Amazon sitting in my driveway without even getting out of your vehicle doesn’t constitute “delivery attempted; unfortunately we couldn’t complete your delivery”. Try again.

Sunday night scaries are setting in deep. Five days was not enough to feel refreshed or relaxed. How does no one in charge truly see how we’re feeling? Do they truly not care? I’d like to think they do, but it feels like screaming into an abyss. #teachersarenotok

Dear Amazon with the upcoming hike to yearly membership coming - is there an educator discount like there’s a college student discount? I buy SO MUCH for my classroom.. please!?

We have the #DreamTeam checking in! #WHSteamChallenge 💙🦁💛

They certainly make my days better!

WHS Multicultural Night was a HUGE success!! Thank you to all of the volunteers, students, and families who attended and helped make it what it was 💙💛 #celebratediversity #FCPSMaryland

Congratulations to the 8th grade Griffins of FCCSl! You did it! To celebrate the end of your final year, you took a trip to Hershey Park and had a blast. On behalf of the entire FCCS family, we wish you all the success in the world. FCPS-MD Images by: Salimeh Myers

Led an enthusiastic group of artists through an impressionistic winter painting yesterday to support Jacki Wilson in raising funds for American Cancer Society

Nothing like ordering an expensive Christmas gift through Walmart for store pickup, getting the email that it’s ready for pickup, only to sit there for 45 min before being told “we can’t find the item. It’s not where it’s supposed to be.”
