I dont know who purchased this off of my list but I'm so excited to have create fun seating for my small group table with 5 gallon buckets!

I'm so incredibly beyond thankful for the donations I've received thus far. I'm hoping for the rest of my list to be cleared by the start of school in a few weeks! Check out the hashtags and gift ANYONE if you are able! #clearthelist #clearthelistMD amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls…

After a thoughtful donation from a sweet former student (@tlnwilkinson I miss him so much!) I'm nearly ready to test out a fun new seating option. Has anyone used pillows and 5 gallon paint buckets to make seats? Is heavy card board or wood a better option? I dont have a saw...

There's been an outpour of support for teachers who often spend their own money on school supplies. One teacher in particular is encouraging people to donate using #ClearTheList to find teacher's Amazon wish lists or donate to a GoFundMe page to help these teachers cover costs.

By complete coincidence, one of my Fraternity Brothers from a different chapter &state happened to pop up on my feed promoting #clearthelist! Let's make sure ALL students have what they need to succeed!!

Day 1 of virtual learning has begun! So happy to "see" some of my students this morning! Can't wait to help them learn and strengthen their skills!

Recently, student told me she'd rather learn everything in person with me right there to cheer her on. To my students past, present, and future: just because you don't see me at school, doesnt mean I stopped cheering you on ❤

Today we said farewell to our fifth graders virtually. I'll miss this amazing group of scholars! Here are the messages the Hawthorne Staff had for our fifth graders!

How could you NOT be excited for the first day of school when this is waiting on your desk????? Though this year is full of unknowns and anxiety, I'm so blessed and thankful to have this amazing team and school family to navigate through it all with me ❤

Day "0" of year 3 is in the books! All of my boys logged on to our zoom and we had a great closing circle! I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

We are so excited about having a friend and colleague in the White House with Dr. Jill Biden, an educator and longtime NEA member, as First Lady! A compassionate leader, she is ready to listen and prioritize educators’ needs at the federal level and we can't wait to partner with her!

Reminder to eduactors in upper elementary through college: Now is a GREAT time to reinforce research before publicly stating opinion and facts. Informed is best.
