We are soaring to new heights today in kindergarten, and took a leap over to the 1st grade hallway to find out what next year will look like. I love the leadership and all the future mentors we got to meet today. #wearercstn #wearecves #crestviewblessed #crestviewleaders

Practicing what I preach all day to my sweet kinders… “it may seem tough, you CAN do this. Try your personal best and that’s all that matters.” What a great way to kick off almost summer break but with a triathlon!! #wearercstn #wearecves #crestviewblessed

Getting to watch my little kindergarteners who are not so “little” anymore, blossom into young future leaders has been one of the biggest blessings I have earned as a teacher. Cheering you all on from your once kindergarten hallway!! #wearercstn #wearecves #cvesleaders

Today we had so much fun with our “stop and jots” while reading about the Pilgrims and Wampanoag tribe with our CKLA unit Amplify #LiteracyMatters Tennessee. We stopped to take notes, and then the students used those notes to create their own sentence. This is my why!#wearecves #wearercstn
