It’s been a fun week studying figurative language. I not only have outstanding readers and writers, I also have some future comedians😂Topping Elementary

Maya Angelou’s beautiful Caged Bird in English & Spanish. Ss concluded that the Caged Bird represents someone who lacks confidence & lives in a place they may not feel safe to share their thoughts. The free bird has “found their wings” and can’t be stopped. Topping Elementary 💚

Nothing better than a mother’s love ❤️

Great work by our Bulldogs! #leadwithlove

Student led conferences are a highlight of the year. Teaching siblings is always special. Topping Elementary

The process of ‘coming to know’ a student is critical if we’re committed to supporting them “where they are, as they are”. As I gather an understanding of where you’ve been, I gain a greater appreciation for where you are— and it allows me to adjust as we grow higher together.

Relationships are not only important within classrooms. Our KinderBuddies teach us patience, provide an opportunity to lead and remind us how far we’ve grown from K-5. It’s the most special day of the week all year. I am inspired by my kbuddy Mrs.Reeve everyday!💛#leadwithlove
