A beautiful day both outside and inside the classroom.

There is nothing like experiencing a kid going from someone who hates writing, to someone that can’t get enough.

The PTA at my school bought all the fifth graders a copy of The Creativity Project.❤️

Excited for a day of learning with my #wsdpanthers teammates.

I am thankful to all the people out there that helped make The Creativity Project possible.

My students never stop impressing me. Their kindness is contagious and inspiring.

Audio books in the classroom.

Watching a kid fall in love with reading is magical.

Today we started a new read aloud , and I had some great reading conferences with my students.

School is a marathon not a sprint.

I feel so blessed to have he support of my parents. They sacrifice so much to help me as an educator.

School starts in 28 days!!! I had a good first day working in my classroom.

I've been thinking a lot about my students from last year, and how reading aloud helped us develop community.
