Can we have fun studying the States of Matter? Ms. Held and Ms. Pacheco really know it! Let's make homemade ice cream😋 Spanish Immersion Rocks! Kettering Middle School PGCPSImmersion Lakeishia Strother

I was the “she’s smart but” student. So now as an educator I don’t say that about my students. I try to work around the “but” that everyone brings up. I’m sure they may have teachers after me who won’t do the same. Having teachers who went a mile for me is why I’m here today.

This is my absolute favorite quote about the time it takes to do SEL with students! Thank you Mountain Iron-Buhl Schools for inviting me to Minnesota!

Wow, seeing my students standing outside my alma mater really hit me in my heart 🥹

It’s only day 1 and I already feel like we are the most special staff in the world! Thank you Lakeishia Strother and Kettering Middle School!!

We must lead by example! 🙌

Our students' achievements don't stop to surprise us! Congratulations to Aaron for getting 2nd place in the category of Energy Sustainable Material and Design from the 75th Anual Prince George's Area Science Fair. So proud of you! Kettering Middle School PGCPSImmersion Lakeishia Strother

It was an honor to have these scholars as my first students, and now to send them on to high school! I can only hope that I taught them as much as they taught me. To my forever-students, go take the world by storm. Do good, be good, and know how loved you are!

I am absolutely honored to end my third year of teaching at KMS with a bang! Thank you to all the students who appreciate my chalkboard doodles & consistent smiles!

Forty years ago today, Sally Ride launched into history as the first U.S. woman to go to space. An astronaut, physicist, and educator, she inspired generations of women and girls to pursue careers in science and technology. go.nasa.gov/3NzVmHU

"I feel it’s so important to talk about WHY we expect certain behaviors at school," writes 3rd-grade teacher Jenna Peters, who was inspired by teacher @room213tpt on Instagram. Have students brainstorm & reflect on examples of when to be quiet vs. when to talk, Jenna suggests.

Be respectful to kids even if they are disrespectful back. Be kind to kids even if they are unkind back. Smile at kids even if they don’t smile back. Say good morning to kids even if they don’t say it back. Add yours 👇. #edchat #thatonekid #kidsdeserveit

I’m so thankful to be learning from Ms. Herron and helping this group of incredible scholars reach their fullest potential! Watch out for Kettering Middle Debaters this year!

I may not be teaching science, but I am so excited to continue supporting our students’ growth in all of their classes! Need some review? Not understanding an assignment? No problem, step into my office 😄

Lakeishia Strother considered feedback from our Kettering Middle School teachers and today’s virtual staff meeting was the result! Teacher choice is just as important as student voice while we hone in on our priorities. Thanks to all who facilitated! #GrowingTogether

Ms. Held & I love speaking drills, clearly they do not 🤣 #tournamentprep #speakingdrills #kmsdebateteam
