Nothing beats the magic of turning off the lights and watching my 2nd graders get lost in their books. It’s amazing how a simple flashlight can make reading feel like a total adventure. The perfect, cozy end to our week! 🌟🌟#LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

🌍 Earth Day Pop Art inspired by @Heidi_ADE_2019 🎨 Students used @AppleEDU iPad Markup to turn a photo of their hand into Earth Day posters as we learned the 3 R’s 🌱. They added Earth designs + messages, then submitted on @Seesaw #LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

Just earned my AI in the Classroom certification with @CanvaEdu Design School 🤖✨Ready to sprinkle tech magic, creativity, and sparkle into my 2nd grade classroom! ✏️🌈Glitter, glue sticks & a dash of AI—let’s go! 🚀 #CanvaDesignSchool #LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥 You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts. Hard is the lesson. Watch. Share. Bookmark.

Today’s challenge: Can you make 43¢ using the fewest coins possible? Then level up—start with 60¢ (4 dimes + 4 nickels) and trade for fewer coins! We used the @MLCmath Number Pieces app to build, count, and rethink our strategies. 🪙✨ #LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

From shark habitats 🦈 to future jobs in STEM 🔬🚀, my 2nd graders were ready for Open House! So proud of their creativity, curiosity, and hard work. ✨📚 #LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

@Aleyh_C In Jesus name 💜💛

Jesus, we declared it and we decreed it! Have your way today🙏🏾🙌🏾

My 2nd graders showed off their animal habitat projects! 🐾🌎 Students researched animals, built habitat models, uploaded them to @Seesaw, and recorded their learning. So proud of their creativity and student voice!✨🦁🐧🐠 #LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

My 2nd graders enjoyed a Poetry Book Tasting in our library makerspace today—sampling different poetry books and discovering new favorites! 📚✨ #LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

….so it begins, my next journey with @AppleEDU #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

📚My class was over the moon to receive a joyful virtual read-aloud + Q&A from ✨Melissa Prince-Barry✨, author of A Family Full of Love, in celebration of Read Across America! 💖📖#ReadAcrossAmerica #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

Breaking news: Black excellence is on the cover! 🗞️✨ My student completed the Student Design Challenge: Black History Month, creating stunning @CanvaEdu magazine covers honoring heroes who changed the game. Talent. Purpose. Power. ✊🏾🔥 #LegacyBuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

I took my class on a 🌿 virtual trip to a greenhouse with @nearpod today! Students explored roots, stems, leaves & flowers and how each part helps a plant grow. 🌱💚 Engaged, interactive, and no permission slips needed! #makeyourmark #legacybuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

Books give us a gentle, meaningful way to introduce children to traditions, celebrations, and cultures beyond their own. These stories aren't just about a holiday.They're about belonging, kindness, family, and celebrating that our world is beautifully diverse.

My students took on a Kaleidoscope Challenge using @AppleEDU #Keynote—transforming images of planets, stars, and galaxies into dazzling symmetrical masterpieces 🌌💫 #STEM #makeyourmark #legacybuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

Today in science, I had my students build 3D models of the Sun, Moon, and Earth to explore reflected sunlight 🌞🌍🌙 Hands-on learning = instant “aha” moments. ✨🚀 #STEM #makeyourmark #legacybuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

Our 2nd grade scientists are shining bright! ☀️🌎🌙 We learned the Sun is a star, the Moon reflects its light, and brought it all to life by animating Earth’s rotation in @AppleEDU ! ✨🚀 #STEMinAction #makeyourmark #legacybuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

Hands-on manipulatives ➡️ drawn models ➡️ repeated addition connections Student-led math talk + interactive journals = multiplication glow up ✨🖤❤️🐾 #BluebonnetMath #makeyourmark #legacybuilders #RISDDreamBig #hppmbobcats

2026 is the Year of the Horse! Celebrate the Lunar New Year with these fantastic books! I love sharing stories that highlight traditions from different cultures, and books are one of the best ways to learn about celebrations around the world.
