Education and Love are intertwined. You can’t have one without the other.

🥰😢🥰

As I end the school year as a 1st grade teacher, I reflect on my 3 years here in Sumter. I will cherish all the wonderful memories I had. I’m saving the messages from families, former and current students, and my teacher friends. 😭 I will truly miss it here #family #Next3rdGrade

@CarolinexDD Yay! Have a safe trip you guys! :)

Just had the best sleep in Nashville, one step closer to Arizona ✌🏻

Our caterpillar is finally a butterfly! Yay! My firsties thought this was the coolest thing ever! ❤️ A memory I will cherish for sure! #Ilovemyjob #SumterStrong #TEACHERAppreciationWeek2021

🤔....true story! 😂 #teachertired

Celebrated #NationalSuperheroDay with this amazing teacher right here and my brave daughter! Of course we had a whole day of integrating superheroes into our learning in first grade too! #FictionNonfictionTexts #RealvsNotreal #IamJackieRobinson #SumterStrong #ThePowertoEducate

Happy Earth Day! Today we learned some ways we can help our Earth. We decided to make bird feeders out of reusable items at home. These are just a couple of bird feeders from my students! #EarthDay2021 #EarthDayEveryDay #SumterStrong #proudofyou ❤️

#PurpleUp for the Military Child! 💜💜💜 I am proud to be a mom of three resilient little heroes!

Always! ❤️

Spring break treat bags for my firsties are ready for them to enjoy! 😁💕🐣 #SpringBreak

It’s almost Spring Break! Get pumped for a much needed break for all of us. 🙌🏼

Did you miss the @JSerravallo LIVE on March 3rd? 📺 Watch the recording here: hubs.ly/H0HVTX80 📝 Mark you calendar for the next Jennifer Serravallo LIVE on Wednesday, March 23rd at 8PM ET.

A rare classroom selfie to celebrate the first week back of all four days. Tough but good to see kiddos in the classroom again. ❤️

This made me smile. I love you too! However, I still need you to write and type your sight words for the week. ❤️ 😂 I love my students! ❤️ #firstgrade #relationships #SeeSaw

Love this ❤️

This is awesome!

This was a good read. I have taken a Lit for Children’s class where we analyzed his books based on the research. It was quite interesting. learningforjustice.org/magazine/its-t…

I always get asked the question. “How do we get more minority students to want to be educators” My response is simply “improve their experiences as students first” you’d be shocked how mind blown people are when I say that.
