Time to brag on my rockstars! I am loving the IXL program, and so are my students. They truly have been working hard in every aspect of these times, and this is just one way of showing it! 15,000 language arts questions answered 😱😱 I am so proud! #rausinsrockstars #BeTheLight

I wasn’t able to do my typical end of the year gifts and awards this year, but I do have 46 hand-written and personalized letters going out to my rockstars today! This group will forever hold a special place in my heart ❤️#rausinsrockstars #BeTheLight

This was so special. I have loved every second of being a part of this amazing team, and seeing some of my rockstars made my heart so full. #BeTheLight

My amazing stepmom sent me this in the mail! I can’t wait to wear it to school!! Completely true, and I am so excited about my new group of students this year!!

Well deserved @poulin_artLSE !! I can’t wait to see the amazing things you do with our kiddos this year!

LOVED our word study lesson this morning! We focused on patterns with the long “o” sound. When we were about 5 minutes into the lesson we discovered we had created 38 words and the kids did not want to stop until we got to 50, and we did 🥰#RausinsRockstars

I LOVE hearing “I’m so excited about the book you’re going to read to us” when getting ready for a new read aloud. Just another example of my “why” of teaching! 🥰Allyson Asher M.S. Reading #rausinsrockstars #leopardspotting

A lesson I did this morning with my wonderful students! Who says note-taking can’t be fun? We even used adjectives to describe our notes when we finished the discussion ☺️
