Experimenting with sounds and composing masterpieces on a Friday night. Thank you @POCESMUSIC for sharing your love of all things music. Clearly it's infectious!

So very excited for the show to begin! #HarryPotterInConcert

@2bteachn3 Love the list they generated! 😍Out of the mouth of babes!!! My 2nd graders are loving to too!

Helping our 3rd graders get used to transferring numbers from the computer to their paper to solve computation problems—a skill they struggle with when taking an assessment on the computer (like SOLs!). They actually cheered today when I told them we were using ixl to practice!

Today I was moved to tears by the news that Bob and Karla Curtis were investing back into their community. Not just at the generosity of their giving but that they believe in our kids, our mission, and us. #ThanksBobandKarla #PocaPreK5 #TheyAreChangingLives

@DrJanrichardson You would have been proud to hear @millerscampers #19emPOWer this groups of teacher learners #PocaPreK5

@allison_yandle Great job refocusing and using it to fuel your fire!👍

After a flop of a math lesson last week, I beat myself up about it. Then, I stopped the negative talk, took some time to reflect, and now we’re back in action! #PocaPreK5 #reflectivepractice #productivestruggle #allsmilesinsecondgrade #totalengagement
