My 15 year old is upstairs doing homework and listening to Hamilton while my 8 year old is relaxing on the couch singing along to #vivomovie Kudos Lin-Manuel Miranda for making content that all ages love and connect with! This family appreciates you!

The kiddos thought I was crazy when I said we are going to have an entire math block without them writing anything. Turns out we don’t need a pencil to do division. 🤔 #ditchthetextbook #handsonmath #learningisfun #4thgrade #mathmanipulatives #backtothebasics

Mad Scientist Day was a big hit with the scholars in P-17 today! From Mad Scientist alter egos to lemon volcanos, we really had some fun and even managed to do some learning along the way! #teacherlife #madscientistday #learningisfun

Hey TunnelBear can I get 1GB for free please?

Seeing Matthew Swanson and Robbi Behr included in the new Sunshine State Book list is unbelievably exciting! So well deserved! My students have loved reading their novels for years and I’m excited that more classrooms will now get to experience that same joy! #ssyra #ocpsreads

We hire teachers based on their strengths but then we manage them based on their weaknesses. This is a morale buster. Leaders, help them develop those strengths this new school year and watch them do amazing things!

One of my favorite things to ask kids is "Are you stuck? Or are you thinking?" I do this because it gives them agency in whether or not I support them. Sometimes, kids just need extra time to think--and if we intervene too soon, we diminish their agency.

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.

Had a blast (pun intended) at #OCPSSuperSTEMSaturday Our students participated in the egg drop, the water bottle rocket launch, the balsa bridge, and the mousetrap car events and did an amazing job! We are so proud of our cougars! Keene'sCrossing_OCPS

The Holocaust began with words - and in the internet and social media era, the power of propaganda is more devastating than ever. But education and knowledge can help prevent genocide. 27 January is International #HolocaustRemembranceDay. on.unesco.org/2B5Um8Q

Let this serve as a reminder that poverty is a policy choice. In the richest country in the world, it is absolutely inexcusable that millions of our children go to school hungry because they are living in poverty. Kudos to Governor Tim Walz and the Minnesota state legislature.
