I can say “we need change” until I’m blue in the face. How do we make change happen? And I mean right now.

For anyone out there looking to support a teacher and her classroom on Prime Day! Here’s my list 🥰. amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl… #Amazon

Have you ever seen such quiet 1st grade readers?! I know I haven’t. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Reading stamina practice is off to a great start! Grant Elementary

This man should never be allowed to comment on games again. Unbelievable!

Perfect day to be outdoor scientists! Our class loved observing the pocket worlds in our Native Garden at Grant Elementary!

Better late than never! We’re soaking up this lovely fall weather and last little while we’ll be able to do writing outside before it gets too chilly. I love days like these, where kids are genuinely excited about taking learning into their own hands. Teaching is the best.🖤

Lots of awesome diagrams of different life cycles happening in first grade today! These are just a few of my favorites.

So proud of these little scientists for how hard they worked to learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin! A cancelled field trip won’t hold us back! 🎃

Introducing the 2022-23 Wildcats! Welcome back to The Hill! Sophomore, Seth Larson #33 #GoWild

Nature walks always turn into some of the very best learning opportunities! We loved collecting (fallen) leaves, seeds and plants to make observations on in the classroom. 🍂

Lots of reasons to be thankful, but these are 22 of my favorites. ♥️

Quick de-escalation phrases for kids: You’re not in trouble. I want to hear your side. I’m not mad at you. What happened? How can I help you right now? Let’s talk about this.

This guy made his growth goal in writing today and all he wanted as a celebration was a selfie with me. Kids know how to make a teacher’s heart grow when we need it, don’t they? 🤍

Missouri wants to pay teachers $3,000 to learn to teach patriotism? Where was that money for school supplies?

Tons of collaboration this afternoon as we continue working on place value!

BEST DAY EVER!

Coming back from break is always hard. But it makes it a lot sweeter when one of your first grade kiddos brings you BFF necklaces from their trip 💖

This guy was SO proud of his creative writing project I just had to share! Ss built different STEAM creations and wrote about them to bring them to “life”! Such a fun project.
