It’s not what I pictured, but year 2 of teaching is under way with my #middlehawks at Hilburn Academy PreK-8

GO PRINCIPAL WALKER💜💛

Welcome to my birthday par....I mean class Google Meet🎉 We are getting very creative of how to have virtual fun in class this year!

I am not the best teacher I know. I’m not in the top 5 or even the top 50. But I do know that I’m where I’m supposed to be, doing what I’m supposed to be doing — building strong relationships with kids and using my voice for good. I belong right here.

Instead of grading assignments or stressing about lesson plans, I spent this afternoon sending dozens of positive emails to families of our wonderful #MiddleHawks🤩 The perfect way to finish up a Friday afternoon!

I think I have something in my eye☺️ With so much going on it’s easy to get swept up in the work. This pulled me back to my WHY. #ontheHil

📣 Shout out to the HAWKSOME Hilburn PTA for always helping our staff feel loved and appreciated!💛💜

You would think our #MiddleHawks would be used to my shenanigans by now😂

There is absolutely no reason why we can't have recess for middle school students. Open the gym, the track, the auditorium. Just let them be themselves on their own terms for a few minutes a day. A couple less minutes from each academic class will be totally worth it.

And that’s a wrap! ✌🏼 out 2020-2021 school year!

What a great Hawkapolooza! The 6th grade team is so ready to welcome our new #MiddleHawks 💜💛 Hilburn Academy PreK-8
