@MsLeonardoClass and I are challenging our crew to do one kind thing every day this December! I can’t wait to see what they come up with! #SpreadKindness

Our class’s part of the Bartle Balloons Over Broadway turned out amazing! I love this awesome 4th grade tradition - what an amazing STEM challenge! Happy Thanksgiving from our crew to yours! #HappyThanksgiving #macysthanksgivingdayparade #balloonsoverbroadway #balloonsoverbartle

As Balloons Over Broadway prep, we discussed the best way to blow up balloons! We mixed different materials together to see what made the biggest balloon and talked about our observations! #MacysThanksgivingDayParade #Science #ThanksgivingSTEM

Thank you Dan Gutman for virtually visiting Bartle today! We enjoyed learning about your writing process, and can’t wait to read more of your books! Thank you to the HPEA FAST Committee for providing this awesome learning opportunity to our students! #NJEAfast #dangutmanbooks

@GovMurphy please eliminate the edTPA! This costly test is not valid or reliable, is extremely expensive, and deterring young people from pursuing teaching. Help stop the teacher shortage and ban this test!

September 15th-ish is International Dot Day, inspired by the author Peter Reynolds, who visited Highland Park Public Schools virtually in February thanks to an HPEA FAST Grant! How are you making your mark today? #NJEAFastGrant #InternationalDotDay #PeterReynolds #GrowthMindset
