Due to an increasing number of students, staff, and substitutes who are affected by illness, Knox County Schools will be closed the remainder of the week. Classes will resume on Monday, Feb. 11, 2019.

Day 5- I have accepted a challenge from Megan Harvey to post the covers of 7 books I love: no explanations or reviews—just the cover. Each time I post a cover, I’ll ask someone else to take the challenge - One cover a day for a week. My day 5 nomination goes to Charity Kitts

To have Patience.

When school is out for sickness, what do you get besides the day off? You get what is unaffectionately known as "The Crud." #CrudCrudGoAwayDontComeAgainAnotherDay #AtLeastItHasGoodTiming

Day 6- I have accepted a challenge from Megan Harvey to post the covers of 7 books I love: no explanations or reviews—just the cover. Each time I post a cover, I’ll ask someone else to take the challenge - One cover a day for a week. My day 6 nomination goes to Amanda Coker

Who knew I was getting (extremely) healthy all along? #joltingjava *sips coffee* #ilikethewaytheCanadiansthink *takes another sip of coffee*

There are teachers all over the country who have been out sick lately. When their colleagues step up to the plate to help with lesson plans, split rosters, and covering supervision duties… they remind their administrators of what an awesome faculty looks like.

Day 7- I have accepted a challenge from Megan Harvey to post the covers of 7 books I love: no explanations or reviews—just the cover. Each time I post a cover, I’ll ask someone else to take the challenge - One cover a day for a week. My day 7 nomination goes to Vicke Pyles

Who says math can’t be engaging and fun? Jenga math anyone? #mymathletesarethebest

Everyday.

So proud of these Rangers for reading to our young future @NMSRangerPride students @charlenelewis63 #RangersGiveBack #RangersRead Beth Haun @NMS_Kilgore @NMSStinnett Kristen Schoerner Jeff Winterberger @NMS_JHassell Charity Kitts Amanda Coker

Loved seeing these kids reading to the little ones today!!

My students love math and are so engages when I throw in fidget spinners, colorful spinners, & a little Rock Paper Scissors for application practice. #100percentengaged #mathreallyisfun

Genuine care and positive energy are simple things… but they are powerful things that are under the control of every teacher. And they have a profound impact on the classroom environment and learning experiences of the students.

A little late in posting but still happy with these 6th graders one-pagers.

On this day before spring break, THIS is my coffee. Can I get an amen? #dontbejealous. #coffeesizematters

Way to go, @GibbsElemEagles! #GES #Eagles
