I don’t usually present in jeans, but it was casual Friday! I have hopped from 8/9 elementary schools this week and it has been a whirlwind! Teachers are excited for the changes we have made. It’s going to be a great year.

We are proud to offer an enriching educational experience to all students in @nlrsd. Each of our students will get targeted support to meet his or her needs. Get ready to watch @nlrsd grow leaps and bounds with the new models we have in place!

Meeting you where you are in North Little Rock School District We go the extra mile for kids.

Tomorrow I will be lending an extra pair of hands at Ridge Road Elementary School in the car rider line and lunchroom. I can’t wait to see those first-day-of-school smiles! Being a servant leader fills my bucket. #dogtownproud

I am the Ted Lasso of elementary literacy.

Great idea at North Little Rock School District Boone Park first grade. Coloring the bottom of the notebook allows students to see if they are grabbing the math or literacy interactive notebook from the cubby. A quick, efficient system!

Strong collaboration happening between district personnel and the first grade team at North Little Rock School District Boone Park Elementary. Learning, doing, improving.

Observing at Meadow Park North Little Rock School District today during the second grade #PLC. I see modeling of Traci objective board! The team is analyzing NWEA data and forming their data wall.

Fourth grade students in Mrs. Kelton’s class at Boone Park Elementary got to experiment with the microorganism, yeast, today. Warm water, sugar, and yeast were added to these bottles and students observed the balloon inflating as the yeast gave off gas. #scienceinaction North Little Rock School District

I really want to create 2-4 little free libraries in underserved communities here. The books are no problem. The libraries cost $300 to make! I need a hack that doesn’t involve me using woodworking skills. #littlefreelibrary #northlittlerock

Praise is due for Ms. Bullock, K teacher at North Little Rock School District Lakewood Elementary. She’s made a tiny laminated color copy of each book cover her class has read and displayed them. The time and meticulous effort this must have taken! Traci #dedication #aboveandbeyond

There’s nothing like holding a PD, and then seeing it implemented in classrooms the next week!
