We 💙 welcoming our new kinders last week at our First Kingston Kindergarten Camp! Thank you to our amazing KG Team & specialists for making it such an amazing experience!! #keepingupwithKingston #hearthustlehardwork @jcorsovb @KingstonVBCPS @karenbussey5 @mandyyates @vbschools

@ShumakerDebra @metteillu Yes!!!! @metteillu ❤️❤️❤️❤️ The (face) of PBpitch! Such stunning talent!

@PJMcIlvaine @ShumakerDebra Thanks to both of you for running it all these years. My oldest turned 10 in May. Writing PBs were my life until my kids came. They are growing older and someday too soon I’ll be back in writing. It makes my heart so happy that you provided opportunities for pb writers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

An incredible way to show appreciation for your staff! Our principal recognized each person for a unique trait or characteristic. This meant a lot! @KingstonVBCPS @kingston_vb @Sarah_AllardVB

@brolabears This is awesome! And just the thing I need to up the journal quality!

@mandyyates Yes! And is always random when I give them out. The Dollar section at Target is my go-to for socks!

Congratulations to my first Knock My Socks Off Award winner this year!! Students can earn this at anytime with amazing writing!!

@newsintern97858 @MrKWisconsin 🤣 and who would be applying for these fresh new positions?

Here’s a thought. Let’s prioritize large salary increases to educators who are committed to staying in the classroom long term.

@MrKWisconsin Honestly I’d rather have more time than more money.

@Sarah_AllardVB @kingston_vb @NicoleMBemis @KingstonVBCPS Welcome to Kingston! ❤️ @NicoleMBemis you are awesome and continue to amaze me! ❤️

Welcoming several smiling new faces to @kingston_vb today. We cannot wait to introduce these dynamic educators to our community next week! Thank you for creating such a welcoming space for our newbies @NicoleMBemis ❤️ @KingstonVBCPS #keepingupwithkingston

@Sarah_AllardVB Who ran first? I still can’t tell them apart. 😬😳

These two gals are on top of the world! Daddy is home ❤️ (watch your ears - N hits Mariah Carey octaves) #purejoy #welcomehome

@Teach_jules 🤣 Where is this?

They got along for 5 minutes! Happy almost summer!

Today @kingston_vb was overflowing with literacy! We had our inaugural vocabulary parade and ended the evening with Reading Night! It was an amazing Monday! 📚❤️📚 @KingstonVBCPS @MrsBoswell25 #KeepingUpWithKingston @karenbussey5 @mandyyates

Yes! All teachers should watch "The Right to Read" @RightToReadFilm and Emily Hanford's Sold A Story" @ehanford because it sheds light on the critical issue of literacy in education. #knowbetteryoudobetter

@CarlyWhiddenArt @Sarah_AllardVB @kingston_vb @KingstonVBCPS @CatieHennessey Completely! Frida Friday Forever! (In my other life I’m an art teacher…or an artist.) ❤️🤎🧡💙💜

@Sarah_AllardVB @kingston_vb @KingstonVBCPS @CatieHennessey @mandyyates This was the best idea EVER! Love this team for your support of the arts and artists. I might have to rock my flower crown more often- FRIDA FRIDAY! :)

It’s Multiples Day here at @kingston_vb and we had to show our love for Frida ❤️ @KingstonVBCPS @CatieHennessey @mandyyates @CarlyWhiddenArt

Multiples Day at Kingston! I love a team that loves a good flower crown! Inspired by one of my kindergarteners who loves Frida! (I mean who doesn’t?)

Kingston Cougars! Our amazing Ms. Naud is running a fundraiser for Make a Wish! See pic for more details! Let’s reach our goal!

All the things… 100 Reasons We Love Kindergarten (100 reasons grouped by tens) Teaching Kingston Kinders makes my heart so happy.

@sckteach 😂❤️

Happy 100th Day!

@sckteach It’s funny how we easily forget when we get wrapped up in being on pace and not reacting to the needs of the learners. It’s such a balancing act!

Friday is for friends sharing their writing and listening with a caring ❤️.

@sckteach Friday all my kids were begging to share their writing. In my mind I was thinking we don’t have time to share! Then I remembered how it’s a part of the writing process that is necessary and purposeful and motivates them to continue writing! So we ALL shared!!! 🤎💜💙
