Last day of school. Taking a pause on teaching to stay home with our sweet son. Going to miss being in the classroom, but I have no regrets for staying home with Bear! Thank you @RepublicSchools for a tremendous experience. Proud to be a #sweenyleader
Prepared and practiced for a live performance of a reader's theater play. They had scene changes, came up with their own props and set too! The kiddos turned our room into "The Benton Theater" and shared their play in front of an audience today. #sweenyleaders
Soaking up my last few months teaching 4th grade. After that, I'll be staying home full time with our sweet little man who is growing too quickly! There will always be more 4th graders to 💙 and teach, but Bear will only be little once. Thankful to get to stay home with him!
Whether it was snow days, AMI days, sick days, home with Bear for cvid/quarantine, and a 1/2 personal day, after tomorrow I will have only taught in person in my classroom 8.5 days this month. What a wild and abnormal month. I miss my students, teaching, & normalcy.
Governor Parson is proposing to raise the minimum starting teacher salary to $38,000. Right now the minimum starting teacher salary in Missouri is $25,000, ranked 50th in the U.S. Half of new teachers leave the profession by their fifth year according to the Governor.
Our One Heart Pantry was looking a little bare. Held a food drive this week, and the families of #Sweenyleaders helped fill this pantry up! One step closer to helping out families in need in @RepublicSchools
