May the 4th be with you! A great way to start our day, lights off and mini light sabers. #AACPSAwesome #KindergartenRocks #MayThe4thBeWithYou

This is what your teacher might look like when you work hard all week and earn fun Friday dress up day! #AACPSAwesome #KindergartenRocks #FunFriday #Friyay

At a recent talk, a parent asked what their kid should do this summer to make up for a year of academic disruption. My answer? Get outside. Play w/ friends. Hug grandparents. Read for fun. Ride a bike. If we don't let kids recalibrate, they may struggle to re-engage in learning.

There are so many good reasons to read! What is it for you?

Positive message conversation hearts to spread the love, virtually this year. #AACPSAwesome #HappyValentinesDay2021 #spreadkindnesslikeconfetti

As districts return more kids to school buildings, many will do better, but it's not a panacea. Prepare kids for school to look & feel different, tell them they may experience mixed emotions--from happiness to disappointment, fatigue & awkwardness--and normalize asking for help.

A great way get students excited and engaged on a snowy day is to have everyone grab a bowl of snow and write our letters and high frequency words in the snow! ❄️❄️ #AACPSAwesome #KindergartenRocks #snowday

Today @arnoldaacps is celebrating Kindness through Words for Kindness week and we will spotlight Youth Poet Laureate and rockstar, Amanda Gorman! Students will reflect on how they can "be the light" with their courageous and brave words. #AACPSAwesome #projectunity2021

@SheilaAnnNorris @HillsmereESAACP You are brave! I have tasted some of those before! 🤢

There are some very excited kindergarteners who are ready for Fun Friday! @HillsmereESAACP #AACPSAwesome

Virtual learning still allows for indoor snowball fights! Practicing reading, writing, and throwing our high frequency words! When the stop sign comes out we pick up one snowball and read it to the class. #AACPSAwesome #KindergartenRocks #snowballfight

Have a wonderful, relaxing winter break. See you in 2021!

Flat Mrs. Witles is in the Mail and on the way to have adventures with my students over break! #AACPSAwesome @arnoldaacps #KindergartenRocks

@MsConnolly1st Love this!!

I usually leave my students locker love notes telling them why I am thankful for each of them. This year I am doing virtual love notes in email. I am so thankful for each of my students! #AACPSAwesome #Thankful #KindergartenRocks
