I pledge that my students WILL NOT face racism or micro-agressions in my classroom. I pledge to continue my pursuit of anti-racist teaching practices. I pledge to continue educating myself! 🍎🖤👩🏽‍💻 #BCPSRace #marsestates #antiracisteducator

This year we plan to make the whole place shimmer @MarsEstatesBCPS! #LoveTheLaughs #Engagement #LoveOurTeam #MarsStars #BackToSchool

So proud of all these amazing 5th graders! I can’t wait to hear all about your middle school successes ❤️ #farewell2023 #marsstars @MarsEstatesBCPS @kellyaoconnell

Working with this amazing team made my year! I’m definitely enjoying summer, but still missing my lunch buddies 🤣 @MissKazin @jenifer_crisp @joelholtry

Join us at the Talent Showcase on Tuesday, June 6 at 6:00 pm! #MarsStars

Another awesome attendance celebration! #marsestates #attendance @kellyaoconnell @jenifer_crisp @joelholtry @MissKazin @megh_erdman @MAliciaBennett

@jessbehar @MarsEstatesBCPS @kellyaoconnell @megpshay @jackielgoldsmih @JennHoltBCPS So so happy I could come even for a little bit and celebrate their hard work!

Could not be prouder of my third grade writers sharing their historical fiction. Thank you to all of the amazing guests who made them feel so special. @MarsEstatesBCPS @kellyaoconnell @megpshay @jackielgoldsmih @nneedlenthread @JennHoltBCPS

When asked who inspired her and deserved a holiday named after them, this amazing scholar picked @lizzo AND for such amazing reasons! Artistic talent, body positivity and representation were all reasons cited in her speech! @kellyaoconnell @MissKazin #ela #RepresentationMatters

My favorite photo from this week! Spotted: a Mars star who was so joyful and proud to receive a lovely Valentine’s Day gift from his parent ❤️ just look at that smile! #ValentinesDay #positivity @MarsEstatesBCPS @kellyaoconnell @joelholtry

Students in Ms. McKisset’s class were polygon detectives today! They measured sides and angles in order to name polygons. Loved the teamwork and collaboration! #MarsStars

On this Valentine’s Day we showed our love for @MarsEstatesBCPS by helping to keep it green. 💕💚#litterchallenge @kellyaoconnell

Fifth graders showed responsibility using math tools to multiply fractions today! This group works hard! #MarsStars @MissKazin @nneedlenthread

We have been so lucky to have worked with Ms. Marie for the past six years. Her hard work, joyfulness, and laughter filled our halls! Wishing her a retirement filled with adventure and a very happy 75th birthday! She will be missed! #MarsStars

And @msabaxter

Had a great time at our mentor event this afternoon with these goofballs! @kellyaoconnell @JennHoltBCPS @MarsEstatesBCPS #marsstars #mentoring #mentor #mentee #funandgames

Today’s mentor-mentee event was a hit! I appreciate all of our @MarsEstatesBCPS teachers and staff who take time to mentor our #MarsStars! Thanks for planning this event @JennHoltBCPS @msabaxter!

Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿 #JusticeForTyreNichols 🎥: Austin Dean

Classroom management means I manage the only person I control. When things get crazy, do I remain calm? Am I respectful to disrespectful people? When someone pushes my buttons, do I react or respond? #thatonekid #edchat #teachers

@offgridteacher @elleek Sounds like they might benifit from having and mtss/sst/504 team look at their data and progress and consider if they might need additional supports to address needs that are inhibiting their full potential from being realized!

@elleek They don’t have the social skills and ability to work with other children that closely.

What should I do for this student? I teach second grade and we’re currently working on adding 3 digit numbers.

@offgridteacher @CGIJason You said they struggle to show their work, but do they still get the correct answer?

@CGIJason Thanks for the reminder. They struggle to show their work during word problems.

Student led learning for the win as we prepare and review for our upcoming unit test! #studentled #visuals #engagement @MissKazin @kestreett @kellyaoconnell @MarsEstatesBCPS
