Last week Kinder researched police officers. Then we were lucky to have Trooper Lopez come talk to the kids and share lots of information. We even got to see his vehicle! Thank you State Trooper Lopez @torisee11! @ParkwayBulldogs #mpesleadstheway #kindercan

Wouldn’t want to spend my days anywhere else. I love learning and growing with the awesome students and amazing staff at MPES #mpesleadtheway

“Teachers need good coworkers. Not just any coworkers, but coworkers who become friends.” ADORE these ladies- so thankful for each one of them 🖤

A4: “In an effort to “help” prepare them for reading tests, we starve readers.” This resonates with me because often times, we are hurting kids more than helping them, when we are striving for the opposite. Students need choice and variety to learn #readicidempes

A3: My kinders are pretty much interested in any book b/c reading is so new and exciting for them right now. BUT I have a variety of books for them to choose from, allow time for independent reading every single day and try to make each text engaging for them #readicidempes

A2: Reading and writing fit hand in hand - the graph shows that reading a variety of texts for fun will increase a students writing. It’s so important for students to have a broad range of reading experience and not only test prep curriculum #readicidempes

A1: If you want a child to eat, they have to be interested in the food they’re eating. If you want a child to read, they have to be interested in the book they’re reading. Students are more likely to love reading if they enjoy what they’re reading #readicidempes

A3: My biggest takeaway is that we, as educators, must find a way to dig deeper into the material taught instead of simply touching on each standard and moving on for time sake. We need our kids to be thinkers, not memorizers #readicidempes

A2: Most all kinders LOVE reading while many 4th graders dislike it. The difference is reading is new, exciting, and fun in kinder. By 4th grade, the pressure of testing and how well students can read and understand has began to sink in #readicidempes

A1: My kinders LOVE getting the chance to read! It is new and exciting to them! However, as students get older, I have seen the struggling readers begin to dislike reading while the strong readers continue to love reading #readicidempes

Excited to collaborate, learn, and grow with these awesome ladies! #mpesLeadTheWay
