Week 2 of #WHHTI25 is in the books! We welcomed another inspiring group of educators to DC to explore the White House’s role in history & civic life. Thanks to our Education Team & all who help bring history to classrooms across the country. 📸: Thom Goertel & Cedric Craig for WHHA

The fact that I didn’t know these INCREDIBLE humans last week is baffling to me.I’m so proud to be part of this program. I know we are all about to bring @WhiteHouseHstry back to our classrooms and the friendships we have forged is the unexpected bonus I will continue to treasure

Day One of the White House History Teacher Institute has been so fun! I’ve learned so much (even as a ‘local’) I’ve met teachers from all over the US. Looking forward to bringing back some great ideas/resources to FCCPS! @WhiteHouseHstry

Last day of school commute! Renley and I wish everyone a wonderful summer break ☀️

After learning about Ancient Greece and Greek myths… we celebrated with the first ever 2nd grade Olympic Games. Great job team!

@SeanOBrienBooks Some of my 2nd graders are gearing up to start a novel study on your amazing books! We would love to chat with you at the end of the study if you ever are in the Falls Church area =]

It’s true. We started building the foundation for Math workshop rotations with technology and buddy games. Amazing job Team Sea Lions!!

2 days of exploring Math manipulatives and making Math connections to ourselves. It’s WHO WE ARE 😉

See how trendy my team is. Very demure. Very mindful. Very cutesy. 🤍 Year 7 we are off!!

Thank you AMC Georgetown for donating ✨ cups for my classroom. Ngl this is going to win me some major points. 😂

@NicholasFerroni @Georgetown Wait you’re in DC!? If you need a local teacher pal I’m on break 😎

My school year isn’t over yet, I’ll be teaching here for a few weeks🍎💪🏽

I’ve read The Story of Ruby Bridges countless times over the years, but I am THRILLED that next year I’ll get to read her story in her own words! What a happy find! Beating the heat today by going to the bookstore and reading! What about you Team FCCPS!?

Okay… but is there a better feeling in the world than going to a meeting then getting a chance to see your former students conducting investigations/ generally thriving at @os_tigers !? My teacher heart is so full!

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful for these amazing children who come to school with a love of learning, energy to keep us engaged, and willingness to find fun along our journey together!

Piloting Studies Weekly in our class to hopefully bring it to all of 2nd grade next year! So far we love it!!

My favorite 1st day tradition/surprise is set. This year, one new student has letters from their own siblings dating back to 2019 🥲 I LOVE seeing the smiles of surprise first thing …so parents let’s keep this between us until they come home to tell you Monday! #belonging

We had a wonderful day exploring and making connections to our learning at Shenandoah National park today! These big kids went on a big adventure.

Rain or shine. It’s always a great time supporting my students with their endeavors outside of the classroom. Go team!

I can’t believe it has been a month since our wax museum! I LOVED filling the room with family members & seeing the team take their moment to shine & share. It’s always bittersweet stepping back so students can step forward on their own. Oak Street prepped & ready! #proudteacher
