Not sure who won the 5th Lemonade challenge tonight at our Learning Expo, but Ms. Smith’s students dressing as Bailey sure didn’t hurt their sales! So many kids wanted those pictures. Even this big kid had to grab a selfie with one of my favorite students as Bailey!

Great night @JeffreysGroveES with @JeffreysGrovePE. Coach Smith led some fun and challenging activities as he always does. #familyfitnessnight

80% chance of rain on Field Day 2022 is 100% not a problem for @BaileywickWCPSS students. Musical chairs, parachutes in the library, bracelet making, and much more. The kids had a lot of fun but the teachers need a #3dayweekend!

We had a tough battle out at the pitch today at @BaileywickWCPSS. The final score: PE Teacher with 🔧 - 2 Soccer Goals - 0 #gametime

I always enjoy watching kindergartners develop the proper throwing technique. It is also fun to see the joy that results as their throws get more powerful and accurate as a result!

While who we send to Washington matters, we can have far greater impacts locally. Many of the inequalities in our society stem from local systems. Although my beard is A LOT more gray than when I started voting in 1996, I remain thankful for the opportunity to vote! #VOTE

That quarantine hair style was getting to be a bit much in this heat. However I didn’t want to go to the barbers, so I gave it a trim myself. Safe to say, no hair stylist will be losing their job to me anytime soon, but on the bright side, I did save a few bucks.

Here is database of activities for K-5 students to do while you are away created by elementary PE teachers. There is a link on the bottom of the document to make sure you let me know what you have been working on! Keep moving! docs.google.com/document/d/1ip…

My friends in kindergarten are learning about money and effective passing all at the same time! Pass it in the hula hoop and you get the coin in it! @BaileywickWCPSS #bulldogcrew

Kobe was born 3 days after me in 1978. He became my favorite player in 2000 when he lead LA back from 15 down in gm 7. While a flawed person, I always admired the max effort he put into everthing. Compounding today's sadness is a daughter lost and 3 more without a dad. #toosoon

My friends learned about the importance of data review and goal setting this week. They used their data to look for strengths and to create goals as well. #essentialinPE #alwaysimproving #bulldogcrew @BaileywickWCPSS

70 degrees on December 30th is a great opportunity to walk 36 holes. Thankful for great NC weather for living a healthy lifestyle in 2019! @healthywake

My hope for all my students is that they always have the type of enthusiasm this girl does. Her zest for life is a big reason why she has grown so much this year! #zest

Not even an hour before their break, these 5th graders gave the mile their best effort. #perseverance #bulldogcrew @BaileywickWCPSS

I had the pleasure to be joined by my teammates during K, 1st, & 2nd today for an activity across the grade level. Their creativity made for a very engaging activity to support teamwork development. #togetherisbetter #bulldogcrew @BaileywickWCPSS @library_larmore @besartstudio1

70 degrees in December sounds like a great time for some outdoor physical activity! #birdietime @healthywake

Need to land a 20 sided dice in a hula hoop to score points? Better have your manipulative skills down if you want those points. Proud of my second grade friends for accepting this challenging activity! (As well as great math for keeping score!) #perseverance @BaileywickWCPSS

Hey @hornets. That is 6 straight wins with us at the game. How about we make this relationship official? Add me to the staff? Get me in better seats? Some new gear? #Ilovethisgame

Last year @library_larmore and I joined forced for some fun "pedia" classes. Today we had all four specials in one as the students came to the gym for some art, music, physical activity, and a great read aloud centered on teamwork! #pediartsic? #bulldogcrew @BaileywickWCPSS
