Today was this fantastic band teacher’s last first day of beginner band students playing their instruments for the very first time. #musictohisears #banddirectorsaresaints #TMMSin205 #rps205proud #ourstudentsrock #ourteachersrock

Ready to start a new week! This insightful and inspiring book by @patricklencioni was just the reminder I needed. It is a must read & a great reread. #principallife #putpeoplefirst #catengagementlookslikenapping

Looking forward to our science PLC today! #marshallstrong💜 #rps205gifted

Student heard a story from one of her teachers about how ducks have superpowers (water resistant feathers). It inspired her to make this cute little animation! Our teachers are inspiring creativity, and helping instill good values in our students. #TMMSin205 #MarshallStrong💜

Today we MAP tested all 6-8th grade students REMOTELY! Here’s the test session screen from just our 7th graders. When technology works, it’s pretty amazing! #TMMSin205 #MarshallStrong💜 #assessingduringapandemic #ourstudentsrock

When you can look up & look back down, you have a better view (& a clearer perspective). @ilprincipals @Joe_Sanfelippo #impactingthenarrative

Thanks @Joe_Sanfelippo for reminding me of what is truly important! “Take care of kids and those who take care of kids.” Great advice! #impactingthenarrative

So grateful for the work being done at TME and how responsive and involved our teachers have been as they’ve worked daily to connect with kids! Thank you @TracyJaconette for the support you have been giving our staff! #TMEin205 #impactthenarrative

I miss my colleagues! It was great to connect today and talk through what our next steps in distance learning might look like. #TMEin205 #ourteachersrock
