Pre-K students work together to integrate technology into our center time. We program the BeeBots to go to the alphabet letter we choose.

How this new Raleigh center ‘equalizes the playing field’ for pre-K students. The Early Learning Center at Memory Road opened this fall as the Wake County school system's 1st standalone pre-K center. It serves Title I & special-ed students. #wcpss #nced newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

Kindness counts! 🙌

We need to support our new teachers. Listen to them. Provide them with resources. Support their ideas. An “initiation” phase/“figure it out yourself” mentality is not going to help retention or benefit our students.

COPIED FROM JOE BECIGNEUL: THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO TICK SOME PEOPLE OFF, AND I HOPE IT DOES. BUT I’M GOING TO KEEP ON SHARING IT AND SAYING IT. AND ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT A SWIFTIE, BUT I AM A HUMAN BEING, A DAD AND, A MONSTROUS FOOTBALL FAN. I am extremely disappointed in so

The school 100th day of at the Early Learning Center! We read One Hundred Hungry Ants by Elinor J. Pinczes, illustrated by Bonnie Mackain. When we came in from the playground there were ants all over our classroom. We had fun collecting the ants and counting them on a 100 chart.

Powerful! 🙌 🎙 Unknown
