@mrbutler629 @MindfulClassrms @AustinISD @EdMindfully @BarnabySpring @FreeSpiritBooks My 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Woolworth is my fave. She made learning fun & accessible. She smelled like a grandma (I say this w endearment.) She was dedicated, creative, & gave us popcorn on Fridays! She was and continues to be so genuine. She even came to my HS graduation party!

Felt inspired by one of my students, so I’m working on handwritten “snail mail” to my team of kiddos complete w confetti, compliment cards dipped in essential oil, stickers, a spark joy challenge, and a wax seal. #MindfulMavericks #iBelieve #DistanceLearning #MissingMyKiddos
