I actually read YA novels more often than I read adult books 🤣 #SorryNotSorry

Guess what today is...... HAIRCUT DAY! 😱😊 I’m not sure I’ve ever been this excited about getting a haircut! I’m seriously considering going for the styles/cuts in the 2nd/3rd pics (no color today, just cut!)— what… instagram.com/p/CDyoaU-pi6N/…

What else do kids need to thrive? #maslowbeforebloom

My co-workers are AWESOME! With their help, WE were ALL able to bring my tiny little idea to life and provide all of our new staff with these adorable gift baskets today! #pantherpride #PCHS #PellCityHigh

What if it turns out this whole hybrid thing is actually really effective... It drastically cuts down class size which also inherently helps with discipline, bullying, etc. Those things in turn, cut down Teacher stress (once they learn the online platform). Just sayin’ 🤷‍♂️

YES! I wish I could apologize to all of my kids from Tuscaloosa Academy that I taught during my very first year (2008-2009)when I had ZERO classroom management training, skills, or experience! 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

1. I’m so blessed to work for someone who understands and acknowledges this! 2. After realizing how stressed my Ss already over over Schoology, I’m scrapping my lesson plan for today and going *Almost* Schoology free and having fun with our learning. Relationships > rigor 😎

Y'ALL. My 4th period B Group KILLED it on this Spanish-Speaking Country Map Quiz from last week that I just graded- EVERYONE made a 💯!!!! #ProudTeacher #PantherPride #PellCityHigh

Me right now, while watching my former grad school advisor and professor present at the #ACTFL2020 Virtual Conference 😬😬😬😬😬😬

I’ll say it again - the real learning takes place with the acquisition and application of knowledge not the regurgitation of knowledge.

Holiday fun!

Congrats. Tech Lee!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

“Are you ever going to stop winning national championships?” Nick Saban:

So today was the first time in my life that I was convinced that my school was about to get destroyed by a tornado with my students and I still inside. We got so insanely lucky. Not gonna lie, it was pretty terrifying.

I am 100000% that teacher, but I’m so lucky to have administrators at my school like Dr. Steele who still recognize teachers like me! 😎

Heyyyyyyy, there’s @SpencerDStone! I know him! I KNOW HIM! 😂

Congrats to the new administrators OMS Ms. Garibay and Mr. Money #beyourbest #greatdayinSCC

I'm SO PROUD of my husband! Thank you @scccboe for welcoming us into the OMS family!
