We managed to collect Thanksgiving meals for 10 families! After receiving all of our donations, we set the donations up in our lobby turned store and had each class “shop” and “pay” for their items to fill the box they will pack for their assigned family.

Our Turkey Trot looks a little different this year but we are still ready for some fun! We are excited to dance and tackle this obstacle course with our little turkeys!

Some love notes from this week! ❣️

this week, 4 years ago- I was overjoyed to see you again in your middle school uniform! I can’t believe we’ll never see each other again. It’s been 1 month since you’ve been gone & I’m thinking of you aways. I will forever put relationships first & love big because of you.

Hearing feedback from our families about how much their child loves our program is a great feeling! We began our private 1st/2nd grade w/only 2 enrollments- Now we‘ve expanded to max capacity-12 kiddos! Hoping for continued success w/my first big project as an administrator! 👏🏻

I am starting to wonder if I give off a certain vibe when working with students. Every year I have a student that writes books like it’s their job... I LOVE IT!

While doing DRAs I hear my first and second grade crew deep in discussion. I was intrigued so I listened carefully and heard, “did you guys see the FIGHT last night?” Y’all they were talking about the DEBATE. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙃

Parents, if a school is open during #COVID19, is it safe enough for your child? Here are key #healthandsafety protocols you should expect from a school, as well as some red flags to watch for when ensuring your #childcare center is ready for their return: fal.cn/3axaZ

Getting the best of both worlds this school year- being a part of the admin team AND being the math teacher for 1st and 2nd grade! 👏🏻👏🏻

Teacher, as you finish the week strong, remember your best is ENOUGH! You bring a unique set of talents and strengths that no one else does. Stop comparing! Be You! You’re Enough!

After the longest short week ever- I received such a sweet, unexpected compliment! The teacher I have been supporting said, “Ms. Sinclair, reading through all of your plans- all I can say is wow, your students were so lucky to have you. I am learning so much!” 🥰

Happy First Day! #Back2BCPS

If you had told me a yr ago that I would be responsible 4 writing theme-based plans for a private 1st/2nd grade program I would’ve laughed in your face! My creative juices are flowing & I’m excited 2 see this program shine. Out of 500 schools-we are 1/3 w/1st & the only w/2nd!

Today we had to do our staff meeting outside in the parking lot in order to social distance appropriately- the amazon delivery guy thought he was interrupting a protest 🤣 #FridayFunny

Whoops- too excited! Some time to enjoy**

Ready for a little in service fun for tomorrow! Last day of in service before our school year begins. We will take some enjoy a “Maskerade” photo booth and each teacher will decorate a mask for our board with character traits to describe “the teacher behind the mask”
