I swear I didn’t bother my mama this much when I was a kid 😩 #mamasgirls #parentingin2021

Look at Texas Southern University sitting right on the Nike app! It sure is a beautiful day to be a Tiger!

It’s not about wanting it more than anyone else. It’s about putting in the work no one else will. Have an amazing Monday!

Today was such a productive day! I flexed into my least preferred attribute, structure! I was able to complete an excel spreadsheet to prepare for upcoming testing! #smallvictories

Ready to tackle this to-do list today! I will NOT be defeated by TELPAS! 😩

What a great chat with Ivan and Roger from Littera: Tutoring platform & services for K-12 about their high-dosage tutoring program that yields amazing results! Every student deserves a tailored learning experience.

Who decided that kindergartners no longer needed a nap during the school day? Post-COVID kinders definitely need some quiet time in the afternoon.

Wherever you find a man with creative vision, you find a man with success at his fingertips.

This is what a good dose of tutoring, small group intervention, and read aloud a can do for a kindergartner! This growth is undeniable! #tutoring #Growth

I had a great time in 1st grade today as they learned about thermometers/ temperature. Each pair of students were able to watch the temperature rise and drop in hot water and ice. Then they recorded the temps on their own thermometers. Amazing teaching is still happening! #teach

The mobile library I created for my campus has over 100 books for students to check out whenever they see the cart rolling by! If they don’t have books at home, they know Mrs. Patton will come rolling through! #reading #books #library

Kindergartners need play, recess,and active learning. They don't need standardized testing. They also need a nap for goodness sakes!

I’m probably gonna die on this boring hill but: we need media literacy to be taught in K-12 and beyond. It needs to be part of how you learn to read and write at this point, how you consume, research, and communicate information. The stakes are too high to wait

Our First Annual S.T.E.M. Day was amazing! The students loved spending the day working with their hands. #ALArocks #ArrowAcademy

As our campus begins a pilot for new curriculum, I am falling in love with Eureka math! I love the fluency “sprints” that begin the lesson. I’m excited to see the growth in our students next year. #education
