First day of FOURTH GRADE for my girl and my FOURTEENTH YEAR of teaching! It made my heart so happy to see all of the kids walking or riding their bikes to school this morning. Have a beautiful Tuesday, friends! #CISD1stDay23 #CISDMissionPossible

This week, I got to play with art. Create it. Write it. Bask in it. Dance with it. Perform it. Feel it fully. This was an experience I will never forget, and I am so thankful to @ngadc for filling up my soul! #CHS9Family #CoppellISD #teachfromtheheart #heART
