This year our class ‘adopted’ a calf and we got updates throughout the school year from not long after she was born to now! We finally got to video call at the end of the year and met Kate today 😍🐄

Math-o-ween/trunk or treat was another success! Cat party w/ @KooKooKangaRoo and we made some patterns w/Blazer Fresh! #WeAreFeatherbedLane #kindergarten

A colleague gets full credit for telling me about it end of last school year, but we signed up to adopt a calf for our class this year! So excited for my kindergarteners to learn about cows and how farms work, etc. with Kate and her farmers/care takers! 🐮❤️#kindergarten

My heart melted into a puddle today. When a student had been getting frustrated with what they could tell they didn’t know compared to their classmates, hearing them say “Look Ms. Drysdale I did it!” In the most proud voice I’ve ever heard, is the best feeling 💜

Why yes, my kindergarten teacher self did get a dress with sight words on it. And yes, my kids were pointing at letters and words throughout the day!

So excited for my newest students all saying how excited they are about kindergarten! These little owls just went on a school tour and checked off where we visited, met some of our new teachers, and were so excited about writing our names! #WeAreFeatherbedLane #kindergarten

@mwebsterbcps The victory is so sweet and the teamwork is the best 😎

Challenge complete! This team of PreK, Para Educators, & Kindergarten Ts @flesbcps found all the places on our community scavenger hunt! #teamwork #communityschool @BCPSTitleI

Thankful for the @dunkindonuts truck on site nice and early for these sleepy teachers. Thank you so much for bringing the coffee to me and the morning smiles and laughs! #WeAreFeatherbedLane

Just a couple teachers supporting our talented Instrumental Music teacher who played in the pit orchestra of his high school’s production of “The Addams Family”! Great job Mr. DeGrange! 😃🎶🎵🎷🎼🦇#WeAreFeatherbedLane #MyCoworkersAreAwesome

@mr_Alsheimer @Converse @Asael_Ruvalcaba @RHbaseballFAITH @drphilcampbell @TaraMartinEDU @CoachGoodman @TeamClydesdale1 @C_Forte4 @thewrightleader @Coach_Ruby1 @docspeaks I have red high tops, and purple, orange, and tie die lows. My kids keep asking what the next color will be 😂

Anyone else have a pair of the BEST teaching shoes in the world? I have too many! Fresh pair of #chucks for #teaching - I’m still waiting on my @converse sponsorship for the perfect “teaching shoe!” 😎📚

Some pre-K and kg teachers on twin day! @KooKooKangaRoo #WeAreFeatherbedLane #twinday

My kg Ss earned about 60 checks on these cards by modeling many safe, kind, and helpful behaviors and earned a prize for it. After pi day, many wanted to pie me in the face so I told them if they get all of these checks all over again they can pie me. We’ll see what happens! 😂

From pi day yesterday! Clearly I didn’t get enough the first time, thanks for helping my girl go big or go home. 😂 #WeAreFeatherbedLane #PiDay

For ‘wear a number’ day, this Capitals fan found another fan (our amazing library media specialist!)…but also found our amazing school nurse wearing…a NJ devils jersey (team rivals, nothi bc personal) 😒😃😂 love my awesome colleagues!

@adamdovico Guaranteeing more assistants w better pay and regular benefit options for them. It’s hard for any school I’ve ever worked at having enough support staff based on our numbers but not necessarily the kids’ and/or staff needs

If you’re a part of the 65% of teachers who have thought about leaving, what is one specific (and feasible) thing that could convince you to stay?

@MrsAskine I love this! Stealing it💜

@Kimmie219 I want to tell EVERYONES kids to get their fingers out their nose!

@MrPenn31 Ok Penn, Bengals or Rams? 😂

Halftime show was eh. 10-12 years too late. Love and respect all the musicians. Wished they had played some new music. Let’s go second half!! #SuperBowl

These kindergarteners are 100 days brighter! We had a blast doing all things 100 related today! Love these kiddos and how far they’ve come. Can’t wait to see how far they go! #kindergarten #WeAreFeatherbedLane #100thDayofSchool

@DrP_Principal If you still need ppl, dm me 😃

My Ed Psych students have an assignment to interview an educator (requires answering 10 questions). If you are willing/able to be interviewed, please let me know. I really appreciate it!
