more than excited about starting our third year of teaching together!!! SO lucky to have found such a special person at our favorite place! @missawine #aikineagles #RISDconnects

My students LOVED having a @missawine in our class for our guest reader at the end of our reading block❤️ #aikineagles

My kids’ ability to empathize with & understand the heroic actions of the people who gave their lives on 9/11 BLEW me away #RISDconnects

Can we have an early release day EVERY Wednesday? The #fourthgrade team got SO much done with our PLC! #RISDconnects #aikineagles Sarah Dye

To know Ms. Wine is to LOVE Ms.Wine! She is still making connections and an impact with students she had 2 years ago! These kids are lucky to know her! #aikineagles #RisdConnects

Today we took a few minutes to stop and build our classroom community by giving intentional compliments to each other and seeing their responses was a continued reminder of why I became a teacher #RISDconnects #aikineagles

THE best day singing carols with our favorite 1st grade class #aikineagles #RisdConnects #RISDGreatness #DecemebertoRemember

We were just ASKING for a crazy/funny day dressing up like elves— the #DecembertoRemember calendar has been so fun w/ @missawine #aikineagles #RISDConnects

We loved representing our #PBIS team today at the #CHAMPS training. We can’t wait to see it all in action so soon—great things are coming!! #aikineagles

BEYOND grateful for this group—who are willing to take time out of their Sunday to plan out the 3 weeks after spring break to get our kids ready and confident for their Writing STAAR! #RISDConnects #aikineagles

excited to change the undercurrent after a great keynote and breakout session with the inspiring Jimmy Casas when you know your WHY your WHAT is more impactful #aikineagles Katie Sears @mslacey3 #RISDGROW2019

How PERFECT is this book for a read aloud?! Starting day 1, we are going to teach our kids to SAY SOMETHING! #risdsaysomething #aikineagles

Fangirling right now!! Roxanne Cheek deserves recognition EVERY single day—beyond grateful that I get to learn and work with such an amazing leader! Her love for Aikin exudes in everything she does❤️

What better way to combine a writing activity about Thanksgiving break with building classroom community? My students were so genuine with their responses to their classmates’ writing #aikineagles #risdsaysomething

We had the best time using #seesaw to compare and contrast 2 opinion texts—can’t wait to incorporate in future lessons! #aikineagles

I am on FIRE for this school year after listening to Hamish Brewer (my neck is sore from nodding my head so much at his words)— no matter what this school year brings, you better believe I’m going to fight for my #aikin babies every. single. day. #GROWRISD20 #aikineagles

SHOUT OUT to Devan McBride for helping our team become tech savvy for our babies and their families. She has #elevated our whole team--it's going to be a GREAT year! #aikineagles #eagleselevate #risdwevegotthis

Today was a WIN for my F2F and virtual classes! We talked about metacognition and what “real reading” looks like. Their thinking paired with “Ruby Bridges” blew me away—every class left me with with goosebumps and my bucket FULL! #aikineagles #eagleselevate #risdwevegotthis

I love my classroom reading community! When a student finished reading a few pages in their DRA book, a student sitting close by asked “what do you think will happen next?!” They both came up with their predictions and read the book together to find out! #aikineagles #DeEPEND

I’m still in shock that I was named Teacher of the Year! There is nothing I’m more passionate about than my kids, and I’m beyond honored and humbled to receive this recognition from My Aikin family #DeEPEND #aikineagles
