Terrific teachers. Proud principals. Exemplary educators. Help us congratulate the latest employees who have won state and national honors- nisd.net/news/terrific-teach… #NISDReunited
Meet my buddy Carter who has been battling rhabdomyosarcoma. Unfortunately, this amazing family is now having to focus on quality of life over curative treatments. I want to fulfill 2 of his bucket list items! Meeting @taylorswift13 and going to a Lakers game. Who can help me?!
My goal is to teach children how to think, not what to think, and how to fill the world with empathy and compassion, not hateful rhetoric and name-calling. Im proud to be a "loser" teacher.
As a “loser” teacher, I promise I teach students their voice is more important than mine, & their thoughts should be their own @DonaldJTrumpJr. But you’re right. They SHOULD be taught to think freely, logically, & empirically. Also - how to respect others & avoid hateful rhetoric
The joy of being the final team and realizing your class has saved Mr. And Mrs. Potato Head. #kidsdeserveit #setthestagetoengage #bhegameon @emilyestes29
What an amazing day 2 years ago today. This @ronclarkacademy training was the most incredible 2 days of learning and passion, and the start to a pretty awesome adventure that has been the last two years 🥰 @SarahDeslatte @mrronclark_

😍😂 when you have to be out and your students use @Seesaw to not only show off the great work they did with the guest teacher, but also leave you sweet messages! Love being able to communicate with them even when I'm 3 hours away! @emilyestes29 @MrsBallBHE

#ThoughtForTheDay Accept the fact that sometimes the path to greatness is lonely. We must continue to strive to be our best version of us. After all, how could we ask others to do the same if we aren’t willing to do this ourselves?...via #Culturize

Today in Seussville Ss got a message from our principal that our buildings did not get approved by our city. Ss had to add an additional ten rod and determine their new value! Seussville was up for the challenge and succeeded! 🙌🏻 #bhegameon
Teaching kids to celebrate others has been a game changer in my room the last 2 years. The Kid With GRIT award is given to kids who never give up no matter what. This girl cried as her classmates cheered when she won our 1st award this year. Favorite moment of the year so far.
Today we practiced our SPECIAL first impressions! I've challenged the kids to try it out on someone they don't know before tomorrow. Speaking skills MUST be taught and reinforced if we want them to be successful in the future! Thanks @adamdovico !!! @emilyestes29
Today we worked on composing, decomposing, and comparing numbers all while trying to solve the mystery of a jewelery heist! The kids used teamwork and problem solving to solve rigorous math problems all while having fun! #setthestagetoengage @hopekingteach @ronclarkacademy
Our goal as teachers should be to teach in a way that makes kids excited to learn everyday. @emilyestes29 @MrsBallBHE #bhegameon #setthestagetoengage
"Never apologize for your excellence" 💙 Thank you @casas_jimmy for your kind and empathetic words this morning. They meant more than you know, and I will continue to champion for ALL kids.
