What a gorgeous morning in the beautiful RVA! #ukropsmonument10k

The most rewarding part of being a Lab Rescue LRCP foster mama is getting to be a part of the home visit & seeing the love radiating among your sweet foster & his new sweet family. I’m forever grateful for #LRCP & for those that choose adoption 🐾 #beautifulbeau now vs then!👇🤩

Since I don’t have a class of Ss, a sweet mama from school took it upon herself to “adopt” me & become my room mom. She has made sure that I’m included in #TeacherAppreciationWeek & I’m so grateful for her thoughtfulness. She knows me well-as my new foster just came yesterday 😍

I was explaining to a friend some differences between an #ibpyp school & non IB ES school. I didn’t anticipate feeling nostalgic & missing that level of collaborative planning/instruction/reflection. Dusted off 1 of our last team planners as a 5th gr Tt 😍 Ibpyp is good stuff! 🤩

Feeling this! And move yourself forward a step everyday! 💜

These whiteboard tables make me so happy 😍

We did it! 🔑 🎣 🛶 So excited for the adventures to come for our family!

Love seeing my old students’ accomplishments 🤩 way to go, ladies!

This week was my favorite week at SAES ❤️💙 I’m one very tired GRT now, but it was so worth it to provide a STREAM Week event that every student in my building could be involved in 🥰

Feedback is only as good as feedforward. Great podcast for parents interested in Hattie research/Visible Learning at home. John and Kyle Hattie: Learning Vs Achieving, 10 Steps to Develop Great Learners: Visible Learning for Parents sospodcast.org/episode207/

I hosted my first staff meeting this morning!! It ran seamlessly and I’m unbelievably excited to coordinate this 5 week, full day summer school program 🥰 Baby steps! #AspiringAdmin #oneday 🤞

Rest…reset…recharge…ready for summer school now!

It was a great day at Summer Soar! Ss went through the engineering design process to create safe egg dropping devices. Hanover Fire-EMS brought the ladder truck to help us test them out. Winners went to round 2 (100 ft)! Thanks for making learning fun!

Did something new this week! Added several vertical dry erase spaces for Ss to collaborate together during First Five number talks. I love that we are breaking the middle school mold and bring #mathworkshop and #buildingthinkingclassrooms to 6th grade!

Bittersweet Senior Night at Atlee High School. Can’t believe this year is here already!

Carol Dweck, Dr. Boaler, math tracking, growth mindset, productive struggle, and neuroscience. This is a stellar podcast to catch! ⁦Jo Boaler⁩ #growthmindset #limitedlessminds podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sma…

Thank you #HEF and Hanover County Public Schools for a perfect evening of celebration! It is an honor to be represented among such exceptional educators.
