First day text from one of my 8th grade Paraeducators. It feels good to be appreciated, and I’m glad the kids learned me on day one! Let’s do this, BlackCats!

🖤💛

A coworker pulled me aside after school to tell me that kids keep telling her “Mrs. Carter is actually teaching me! I’m learning from her”. Y’all. ☺️

We have the ability to mold these kids to be exactly what we want. With fidelity, accountability, and compassion, we sure can!

Looks like the right colors!

Flexible seating is fun for 8th graders! . . Glad to be back in 8th grade; it’s where I do my best work!

Thank you Mr. Caudill and @travelintomscoffeebg! A yummy start to a great day! #NitroPeachLemonade. . Thank you!

Thank you Devine Carama, ONENESS, Ms. Thornton, and all those who came out today to let our babies voices be heard! #EndGunViolence

When it’s the eve of the first day you’re to be absent in your new school and you’re slightly panicked, just sit back and remember that you’ve taught the expectations and have faith in your students! They will prove what they are capable of!

It drives teachers crazy when students ask “is this extra credit opportunity mandatory?” but then email next week and ask how they can get their grade up… Don’t be that person!

The big dog used to say “don’t listen to they and them” and I find myself using that phrase sooooo often in life!

When a kid’s technology goes out in the classroom buttttt you have an Interactive Flat Panel, they can finish their assignment there! 🖤 instagram.com/p/ChpzadPO4EE/…

This is the stuff that keeps me entertained!

A little pat on the back from your admin goes a long way; especially over something you’ve been doing for years and is just second nature to you at this point. It’s the little things. Thanks for acknowledging me.

Loyalty: a trait that few truly understand until it’s too late.

Today we focus on scheduling for our high school classes! There’s so many cool opportunities around the district! Stay engaged and figure out what peaks your interest.

Good luck to The Leestown Way at MATHCOUNTS today! We are jazzed up and ready! “CHARGERRRR COUNTRY!”

Enjoying the start of Spring Break surrounded by family!

Couldn’t figure out why my arm was so sore this morning. Oh yeah, I threw football with the PE class yesterday, in a pant suit and all 🤣
