With literacy work in NC moving into its second year, learn about the impact on instruction from a @CarteretK12 parent and teacher.

It’s about that time, y’all. CLASS LISTS. Administrators across the country are meticulously finalizing class lists, and teachers are anxiously waiting to see which kids will become their new babies for 180 school days. It’s also that time of year where the chatter starts… …about THAT kid. The one who has a reputation for being “low”. The one who “can’t behave.” The one who is “lazy”. The one who _______. Don’t be the teacher who judges a child based on another person's opinion. 🔹Every kid deserves a reset. 🔺Every kid deserves more chances. 🔹Every kid deserves a champion. Many kids are on the road to failure because of reasons beyond their control. Be the person who redirects their path this year. Be their merchant of hope! People don’t need us to be merchants of hope during the easy times. It is in the darkest moments that they need their merchant of hope to selflessly carry them through the storm. We chose the profession where we are helping raise other people’s kids. As you receive your class lists over the next few days, receive them with love, clean slates, and lots of grace. The reality? We are all doing this really hard thing called “life” in the best and only way we know how. Never judge a child based on another person’s opinion. And while we’re at it, let’s replace "child" with "person" (friend, colleague, parent, acquaintance, stranger). Patient. Loving. Understanding. Forgiving. Grace giving. These are the attributes of a person who can reach another person's heart and change their pathway. I have so much work to do on myself so that I can better help others. I'm especially thankful for grace. #multiplyexcellence

@HeyDrDaniel Intreasted

🗣️As a single administrator I’ve had to really work on how I prioritized all of my weekly tasks. My priority matrix helps me so much! I write down all of the tasks that need to be done for the week and then I categorize them in 4 quadrants. ❗️Important, Not Urgent ‼️Important, Urgent ❌Not Important, Not Urgent ⏰Not Important, Urgent This system really helps me “Prioritize the Chaos”. And this can be applied to anyone!! We all have tasks that can overwhelm us, let me help you! Interested??

@merhmc @SchoolBeaufort Ditto friend!

@CClemmons_ @SchoolBeaufort It was great to see you!!

To say our Title I Math Family Night was a success doesn’t even do it justice! We were worried about competing with other events in the community tonight, but our Seadog families showed up in a big way! There was a lot of math fun going on in that gym! #BEStschool #LightTheWay 🎪

You just can’t hide all the love @MCPSsandcastle ! @MeltonsMagic @CClemmons_ I always enjoy my time at MCPS where students are always so excited to showcase their learning!

Come watch our Patriotic Performance tonight!! #TeamMCPS

@Jess_Schiavone They did a wonderful job! I love the classroom culture you’ve created !!!!

The final product part 1! #DiaDeLosMuertos #DayoftheDead #shoeboxalters #ofrenda #teammcps #lighttheway

Dia de los Muertos! We learned about the Day of the Dead today. We made sugar skulls, created frames for a class alter, listened to mariachi music, and wrote about what we learned. 💀 @MCPSsandcastle @CClemmons_ @MeltonsMagic

Alexa, change our classroom from a spooky haunted house to a fiesta for Day of the Dead. #classroomtransformation #dayofthedead

All set up and ready to go for tomorrow’s haunted house #classroomtransformation #teammcps

@Jess_Schiavone This is amazing !!!!!!!!!

We had so much fun experimenting today on our #stormchaser “field trip”. These kids are officially weather experts! #teammcps #lighttheway

With their portals they made for the #GRA22 lesson about the picture book Another with @amccalleducates. #TeamMCPS #LightTheWay @MCPSsandcastle

This morning we used what we learned in science to turn cotton balls into the different types of clouds. #teamMCPS #LightTheWay

An amazing event !!!!!! Thank you 😊

Struggling and exhaustion should not be our standard measure of success. Excessive stress is not a badge of honor. Accumulate peace, not things🤎.

@merhmc @MarshaSirkin @CarteretK12 I miss you 💕

@MarshaSirkin @CClemmons_ @CarteretK12 I love her office!

Popped in to leave a little note for @CClemmons_ . Her office says it all……she is here for ALL of the children. #LighttheWay @CarteretK12

@MarshaSirkin @CarteretK12 Awwww sweet lady I hate I missed you 💕 Maslow's hierarchy of needs, more than theory for some!!!!!

Excited to present and learn at @NCSLMA this week! If you’re coming, I’d ❤️ to see you in this session. #TeamMCPS @MCPSsandcastle #NCSLMA2022
