Yes! Being a mom working with my son at home who struggles with programs that time you, has completely changed how I view math facts as a teacher.

100th Day of School fun in #1stgrade.

Sometimes you plan a super fun day because you all need it! #firstgrade

Caught these #1stgrade Ss sharing their writing with one another. When I compliment them in front of the class one responds “That’s what good writers do.” 🥰

Westmere has each of the featured words from the The Positivity Project hanging in the hall. My #1stgrade Ss love reading them on the way to lunch each day. Can you hear them?

Tricked my #1stgrade Ss with a great joke Dorine Phelan shared. We were trying to find the rare Lirpa Loof bird spotted around Guilderland Schools, throwing 🥕 and making its special call. Look hard, do you get it? #AprilFool #LirpaLoof

Educators are still out there, of course, doing what they always do — everything they can to put smiles on their kids’ faces and hope in their kids’ hearts. This is a picture I got from a wonderful 3rd grade teacher in Texas today, who has been reading my books with her kids. 1/6

Monday morning science 😂

Teachers, never let family time be shortchanged. If something happened to you, they would replace you fairly quickly at school but you're irreplaceable at home.

What is making the balloons pop?!? Light?!? Heat?!? Why doesn’t it work on the white balloon?!? What are two possible scientific explanations for how the blue balloon pops while INSIDE the white one?!? 🤔 #ngss #ngsschat #science
