First day of school ✔️

School should be a joyous place! Get the kids excited! @gcouros #region7esc

@Bored_Teachers I called about some extreme behavior issues. Mom said “she’s your problem until 4 o’clock” and hung up on me.

Let us know in the comments below!

Adults in schools... Taking ownership is not about accepting blame. Owning something is about claiming the power to do something about it. Owning something allows us to accept the reality & affirm our ability to change it. Own it. Change it. For the better.

I couldn’t imagine doing this job anywhere else!

@WeAreTeachers I got a thank you note this week. I’m sure it only took a few minutes to write and stick in my box but it was exactly the encouragement that I was needing.

@kincade_dj @BlinnWbb @treebrooks_10 @coach_triley12 @LadyDogsBasket1 I went to Blinn and loved my time there! Congratulations!

what a great way to start off tha 1st of tha month ;) @BlinnWbb @treebrooks_10 @coach_triley12 @LadyDogsBasket1 #Wegotladydogs

Headbands in the dark to work on our inferencing skills!

When you lose power, you figure out a way to keep Space Camp engaging! We did a read aloud about the Milky Way and created our own galaxies using chalk.

Because engagement after the STAAR test is hard! Granny wig and a fun inferencing activity keeps the kids in! @chmsbulldogs1 @CHISDCurriculum

Today I got to tell a student that she passed out most recent unit test. This student has never passed a reading test. This was such a huge confidence boost for her and exactly why I continue to show up for my kids every single day.

These 2 groups when way above what was required! So proud on them! @chmsbulldogs1

I have taught The Trial of SpongeBob for 3 years, 6 classes each year. My kids are still picking out pieces of evidence that I never even considered! I love the engagement! @chmsbulldogs1

@Christen2121 @chmsbulldogs1 I’m out tomorrow for UIL but the kids should still be working on it! The kids will be presenting their claims and evidence on Friday.

We started the trial of SpongeBob today and my kids are so engaged! I even had other teachers tell me that my kids were discussing it in their classes! @chmsbulldogs1

My daughter's stunning new novel is out today! I am so proud.💛I am giving away a copy to 25 educators to share with your book clubs, libraries & classrooms (US only). RT to enter! #bookgiveaway #MirrorGirlsBook🪞

These cuties love their Bulldogs! @ChapelHillFB

Buc-ee’s and Bulldog football? Sounds like a great weekend! @ChapelHillFB

Cheering on our December Dawgs! @ChapelHillFB

There’s a 2nd Baptist somewhere on 59 north of Houston. I saw it last Friday when we had a playoff game in that area.
