We had a blast sharing our co-teaching journey at #VASCD2022 this morning. Now we can sit back and enjoy the rest of this amazing conference! @westsalem1
It is truly a gift to work alongside my teacher bestie and real life dear friend Liz every day. Here’s the second blog installment about our co-teaching journey.

One of things I am especially thankful for this year is the special bond I share with my co-teacher Liz. I have had a hard time the last few years coming up with content for the blog, and this one just flowed out of me...@westsalem1 @SalemVaSchools

Teachers have adapted and changed so much this year. In my latest blog post I talk about 6 of those changes I plan to keep around. @westsalem1 @SalemVaSchools

This was so much fun!!
Our West Salem Third Grade Cardinals had an amazing time on Market Day showing off their knowledge of business skills and concepts. Check them out! Mrs. DiFusco-Funk and Mrs. Mutcheson were so proud of their young entrepreneurs! #cardinalstrong #beacardinal @NDF81

I had first day of school vibes as my two cohorts merged into one! I threw on a “first day of school dress” and we spent a great deal of time reviewing routines and establishing modified ones with our new class size! Boy was I happy to see my kids! @westsalem1 @responsiveclass

Ready for day 2 of @VASCD! It’s become a yearly boost of energy for @Crewmeg22 and I to attend this conference, and even though we’re in an office space spread out and not in Williamsburg, we’re loving every moment! @SalemVaSchools @westsalem1

I love writing blogs for @NWEA & wasn’t sure I‘d have much to share this year, which made me quite sad - especially since I consider myself an optimist. I have always found reflection to be one of the best ways to move forward, and reflection led me to...nwea.org/blog/2020/4-teachin…
I’m enjoying my daily cup of tea in my new COVID times mug that showed up on my doorstep this evening, compliments of my friends at @NWEA. As if I needed another reason to love working with them.

Thanks to my @Disney masks, I was able to “smile” as I met my students this week during our 4 first day’s of our soft start to the year! @westsalem1

Room 23 is ready to go. It feels awfully strange to be starting in August, but this is the year of embracing change. I’ve planned for tomorrow (Monday) with the information I have today and will adapt as needed. Let’s do this! @westsalem1

Back in the building showing some Cardinal Spirit with my new mask made by my Mom. It’s a new kind of year, a new grade for me, and I’m excited about it all. @westsalem1 @SalemVaSchools #relationshipsfirst
