That feeling when your PLC ends with differentiated assessments so all our babies can show what they know, a solid plan for future PLCs, and a (life giving) cup of Betty's Blend...🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻. Love being on this smart, positive, efficient, coffee loving team🌟

This beautiful painting was gifted to me from a student who moved to the US less than two months ago. Today she did the morning announcements. I am in awe of the courage and grit our students show daily. @RStar512 – at Lenexa, KS

A huge thank you to @MrsRush_5 for coming in and doing a lesson about the effects of hurtful comments! The students loved their “new student” blue! @RStar512

To all my educator friends getting ready to start a new year- good luck, take care of your selves with the same passion & care you take care of kids. You are warriors that understand every student has value & can learn because they have you as an advocate. Never give up on kids.

Here we are. The end and the beginning next to each other again. In all its horror, I am actually grateful for 2020 in a strange way. So clarifying. So powerful. So humbling. So painful. I don't want to do it again, but I guess at least it showed us that we can. Happy New Year. x
