@misslusquinos Sweeeeeeeeetness❤️❤️

Rainbow Fish and kindness were a theme in @miss_schaub_kg’s class today! #montypride

We made some awesome choices today for independent reading time! #reading #mtes @montclair_elem #2ndgradersrock

Has anyone said recently that Ts are seriously super heroes?! Not only did they completely pivot and figure out how to teach effectively virtually, but now they run multiple groups at one time and show up on screen in both places to check! 🤯#montypride

Holy cow @montclair_elem staff brought the best we could today for our 5th graders! With multiple downpours , we never considered adjusting our plans. We made some great memories this morning as a staff and with the students. Kudos to students who ran in the rain! #montypride

Distance makes the heart grow fonder. True today as @montclair_elem teachers made yard sign deliveries. So much mutual love today. #yeswecan @I_Care24 @fifthwithfahmy @ot_gaynor @Parks_AS @MrsOppSisson @dillard_miss @KarenSmithMES @AMDuffy10 @maureen_artist3 @MrsDoyles_class

And then we had fun playing board games with @schuckea’s class for Monty Fun Day! 🎲♟🧩

We celebrated our super powers by reading to @schuckea’s third grade class! 📖 Thanks for all your support!

A4: Personally and professionally, I need to find the right balance in the "what-ifs"; and to also encourage my students and my children to live in the world where dreamers and disruptors live #Culturize #PWCSbuildingbridges

A3: For me, it extends beyond the classroom. When I interact with the kids outside of the school day at activities or events, with their families, it is an opportunity to show them how much I care about them as a whole person. #Culturize #PWCSbuildingbridges

A2: I worked at the same school for 11 years and now most of us have moved on. Those trusted colleagues are my go-to for inspiration and guidance and we constantly reach out to one another for any and all comments, questions and concerns #Culturize #PWCSbuildingbridges

A1: professionally, really trying to focus my efforts more on ELD and empowering my students to be effective communicators in school and beyond. #PWCSbuildingbridges #Culturize

A1: to disconnect from work in the evenings and spend time focused on my family, which needs to be my top priority and not second to my job. #Culturize

Alexis Duffy, EL Teacher at Montclair Elementary School. This past week I led a successful Girls on the Run lesson with a team of 40 girls at my new school! #PWCSbuildingbridges

@Miss_Beneke @APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores as a mom and upper-elementary educator I idolize the work that you do with these kinder babies - thank you! #PWCSBuildingBridges

@APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores Q2: My students are my “why.” The growth they make in kindergarten is amazing and I love the relationships I form with them along the way. #PWCSBuildingBridges #culturize

@dguardino @PrincipalAbney @APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores I want to be Mr. Rogers when I grow up...I introduced my children to him this summer and we tried to start every morning with him...so many lessons and values to share #Culturize

@miss_tuller @APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores and we LOVED getting to celebrate with all of our newest READERS! #PWCSBuildingBridges

@APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores A3: Today our Kindergartners finished Unit 1 of Lucy Calkins, so the whole school celebrated our kiddos becoming Readers as we parades through the halls! Love that our school is a community and is always supporting one another! #PWCSBuildingBridges #Culturize

@APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores A3: Montclair recognizes group and individual success both academically and behaviorally on the daily news show and with positive phone calls home, school wide celebrations that allow students to showcase their learning and excitement #Culturize #PWCSBuildingBridges

@APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores A2: the kids! especially those who don't have the same opportunities or relationships outside of school. Educational standards and regulations will come and go; but just interacting with the students everyday is the reason why I switched careers. #PWCSBuildingBridges #Culturize

@PVES_Elliott @APTaraKidwell @DirectorOpl @DianaGulotta @AmieWeinberg @Mrs_Treichler @LucasDeLores yes!!!!!!!! we do need to remember to take care of ourselves too! We need to take time for ourselves, family and friends to refresh and reenergize ourselves
