This is so powerful and beautiful. I love seeing an amazing ELD teacher @ChristiKimSLES ‘s work celebrating students’ identities/lived experiences, creating relevant, meaningful work, while weaving literacy & art together. We need more of this authentic learning! So inspiring 😊

The best ever Saturday @NorthwestMSP @NorthwestJags @SouthLakeES Completely inspired by the voices and leadership of young people across @MCPS! A day full of tools and resources to empower our youth to be activists, advocates, anti-racists & ambassadors for RJ! #wearethebluebrint

Value what kids are good at as much / if not more than what they are supposed to be good at. Not everyone is “gifted & talented” but all kids have gifts and talents. It just takes some longer to figure out what they are.

We had our first successful Book Tasting of the year to introduce our next ELA unit: Fables! Room transformations are a whole different level of engagement, and I can not emphasize enough, the importance of providing this experience for students.

Hispanic Heritage Fashion Show was a success! Our students came out reppin’ their countries. We also had a Family Game Night to share the importance of board games and how they can benefit all families! #CommunitySchools
