Virtual spelling bee? No problem! We’re supporting our friend Kaitlyn this morning who is representing our class! 🐝 #wvewise #spellingbee #virtualschool

We need to stop confusing uniformity with unity....We really don’t have unity unless we have diversity. ~ @benjikelley #livingintheageofrage #ageofrage

Brand New Series Starting THIS Sunday!

It is extremely important for educators to work on their mental & physical health right now. Whether school is in person or virtual, we are dealing with stress that we have never encountered. Take time for yourself daily/weekly - read, walk, rest, spend time with loved ones.

What do you do on a Sunday morning when your kids volunteer to serve at church and you still have work to finish? Set up in a hopetown room during 1st service and worship during 2nd service. #virtualschool #makingitwork #worship #sabbath #lovethemfirst

@ncradlephoto I hope everything is going well for you on your assignment! ❤️

@LadyO316 Yeah, that's what my suggestion was today.

Kids learn to read by reading. Teaching pieces and parts does little good unless kids are putting it all together while reading self-selected, high-interest books. How are you making this happen for your Ss right now? #virtuallearning #priorities #reading

I’ve already used @flipgrid three times this week and fully believe it will be instrumental in my teaching this year. Fast, fun way to build community, virtually observe skill/standard mastery, and communicate with kids on a personal level! #wvewise #arrays

First day back! My coworker was really supportive! #ladyo #virtualschool #wegotthis #wvewise

Save ur energy. Guard ur time. You’re not supposed to be willing to die on every hill. Just the ones that God has called YOU to. Those are the ones we need u to climb to the pinnacle so that u can plant the stake of truth in the ground. Be wise. Be prayerful. We need u.

@BreneBrown @HarrietLerner Sad. This very much explains my divorce. But God is bigger. 💕

This is so powerful. And explains a lot about our world right now. Thank you @HarrietLerner. #BeBraveAndApologize Listen to this 2-part special on #UnlockingUs now: bit.ly/2WhHZBH

Figure out what fuels your joy, then do lots of that.

Shining our light for education tonight. #NCed #NCLighthouseLeaders #wvewise

When seeing educators doing amazing things online-sometimes rather than celebrate their success we get wrapped up in professional jealousy (PJ). PJ is a real thing and it drags you down & stresses you out. Guard your heart. Celebrate the talents of others, as well as your own.

A little Zoom birthday party for our friend, Audrey! Happy 8th birthday, sweet girl! 🎂
