“Please think of the children first. If you ever have anything to do with their entertainment, their food, their toys, their custody, their child care, their health care, their education—listen to the children, learn about them, learn from them. Think of the children first.”

Thank you @ACPD_VA @ACPDRL @AlbemarleFire current MLS family, the Burkes and former families, the Galvins and Sears, for making our Transportation Fair a big hit! To quote a student, “It was epic!” @honoluluteach

Miss Clarissa from @HantzmonWiebel talks to us about wants and needs. S: “A computer can be either, so I am going to put it in the middle like a Venn Diagram.” Thanks @JAofCentralVA for offering this program! @MeriwetherLES @MichaelCIrani @LeslieWillsTay1 @lizcville

1st year teaching should be a residency. A lighter work load, a lot of mentoring, observing, & minimal accountability. Too many good teachers are expected to “sink or swim” & guess what. They usually sink! Is this the best way to prepare them? One reason for the high attrition!

@MichaelCIrani @MeriwetherLES @LeslieWillsTay1 Hands down the most caring, incredible bus drivers around!

“We want to raise our children so that they can take a sense of pleasure in both their own heritage and the diversity of others.”

“Where would any of us be without teachers?”

@NikiaEwell We read a book about groundhogs today and learned that a groundhog can run as fast as an average 4th grader. #askK #whoknew

Did a KWL chart for the #ForceAndMotion unit and a S said they wanted to know the speed an average 4th grader could run. So we tested it out today. 🏃🏾‍♀️ 🏃 #authentic #FantasticFourth
