No matter how much they standardize curriculum and testing, they can't standardize engagement, relationships, and who you are. #teachervoice #BeYou #teachergoals

Just a reminder that there is no school for students tomorrow. Teachers will be working hard on learning new things to share with their students. #pd58learns

Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weekend and break!

'Twas the night before Thanksgiving ... brain breaks, writing, and reading all about turkeys with my Kindergarten friends! They are such experts with SEESAW! What a great way to spend the last day of school. Happy Thanksgiving to all @PierceDowner families! @CClavenna

We must get students to focus on what they are in control of, or they'll go into adulthood still blaming others #charactercounts

Kids need to see that reading is a part of life and not just a school thing: https://t.co/Ax0Frk7NgS

If we each made one positive comment to another person every day, just think how uplifting & transformational that could be... #positivity
