Ms. Little • 5th Grade Teacher

First week of school 🍎 ✅ First week teaching 5th grade 🤩 ✅ First long weekend spent recovering 😴⏳ Ready for an amazing year at @NorthRidgeES @WCPSS! 🎉

Year 6️⃣ has officially kicked off! I’m teaching Second grade again this year. Looking forward to another great year as an @NorthRidgeES Unicorn! 🦄

@nckhui Sort of. Many people think this, but we are actually paid at the end of each month for roughly the previously 2 weeks of work and then for the upcoming 2 weeks of work. So our August check is for the second part of August and the first half of September and so on each month.

I learned something new today. Wake County doesn't give paychecks in June to traditional-calendar teachers for the days they work at end of the school year. Instead, the August paycheck includes both what they do that month & advance pay for the upcoming June. #wcpss #nced

Iceland lived up to everything I had read about it! My mom and I spent the week road tripping across this beautiful country seeing waterfalls, puffins 🐧, glaciers on black sand beaches, and stunning churches perched on hills in tiny villages. 🇮🇸🧊🦭🐧🐑🐴🌋

Twinning today with @jheywardteaches!

🎉 Thanks to @letterland for selecting 2nd grade’s two syllable words parade idea for their April 2024 “Terrific Teaching” idea! @NorthRidgeES @WakeElementary

@letterland @NorthRidgeES Yes!

@techtoteaching @NorthRidgeES This is FANTASTIC!! would it be alright if we shared on our website / social media?

Today was the @Letterland parade at @NorthRidgeES! These 2️⃣nd graders were 2️⃣ syllable words that they quick coded! I love how creative they were with their syllable signs and costumes! 🐯🕷️🥓🥶

I know some @NorthRidgeES second graders that are going to be excited to see this movie when it comes to theaters! Our class is nearly done with reading aloud the first Wild Robot book by @itspeterbrown and I can’t wait to read book two with my Ss to end the school year! 🤖🪿🏝️📖

🎉🥳 It’s Twosday 2/22 in 2nd grade today! These @NorthRidgeES Unicorns are ready to celebrate our special day! 2️⃣

The only thing better than one mystery reader is two!! Thank you to @tshillings and @jheywardteaches for visiting us today! We heard “Those Shoes” by Maribeth Boelts and “The Smart Cookie” by @IamJoryJohn! 👟🍪📚 | @NorthRidgeES

The @NorthRidgeES second graders had the best time at @NaturalSciences this week! We loved seeing all of the fossils after finishing Module 2 unit from @ELeducation. 🦕

Always enjoy an opportunity to model math strategies! 🤓

🦖 The @NorthRidgeES 2nd Graders had a blast at our Fossil Dig Day! These paleontologists in training did several hands on activities to inspire and prepare for our narrative writing unit. Thanks to @tshillings for stopping by and dressing the part as a “Fossil Expert”!

Excited to have achieved @NBPTS certification today! ✅ 🎆 🎉 #NBCTstrong #NBCT
