I had a lot on my lesson plans for this upcoming Thursday...I asked myself, "is this necessary for mastery or just a time filler?" I took some stuff off my plans... More is not always better. Give them time to digest what you are teaching... Give them more time on assessments..

The Marching Hornets opened their 2019 season tonight. The Hornets scored a 72.5 and took home the 1st place trophy.

I'm trying to be more adaptable this year, after all. 😁

Be here now. #DailyCalm

Monday morning, for sure ☀️ start the week off all together 🙌

Thank you to our PTO for planning a fun-filled night for Newcomb students. Lots of positive memories were created tonight!

As teachers are working to meet the needs of their students, who is ensuring that teachers have what they need to remain whole? Teachers' emotional struggles have a direct influence on their interactions with students. We must care for teachers, which will in turn help students!

Day 1 of Remote Learning: success! #pembertonstrong #mynewcoworker #pajamaday #hornetpride #virtualspiritweek #missmykiddos

Not a bad list for your kids at home

What a fun day amidst the unknown! Happy to have found such amazing, caring educators who have welcomed me as their own ✨ I even got to video chat on Google Meet with some students, most just wanted to check in, and I’m grateful! #bettertogether #hornetpride #pembertonstrong

What if this time allows us to let go of all previous assumptions about what we “have” to do with kids? If schools can simplify the curriculum, cancel standardized testing, & put kids’ socio-emotional wellness first right now...why can’t we reimagine systems and do that always?
