@JJPearceHS My mom (Mrs. Wardlaw) RAVES about Sharon Howard!! She will be missed.

This retirement resignation was hard to accept. But, so blessed to have worked with THE Sharon Howard. You will be missed! 💙❤️

A half day filled of FUN & hands on learning. Cut and paste, dances, and geo boards galore🤍 Shoutout to Mrs. Kroungold (4th grade Math) for giving them such a great foundation in Geometry. Can’t wait to teach my most favorite unit of the year! #RISDDreamBig

When your small group students ask to call classmates over and deliver targeted feedback, you know it’s a good day. I wish there was a fly on the wall to hear their conversation🤍 #RISDBelieves #AcademicVocabMatters
