Proud mom, fun-loving educator in Lexington. I enjoy watching students engaged in learning. I love watching them grow, even if it’s one small change at a time.

Many months ago, maybe even at the start of the school year, I mentioned that I love these plants and would like to get one. I had no idea a colleague was taking it in and presented this to me this morning!❤️ It made my day so special! #PeopleDoListen #peoplecare #BigSmiles

‘Write’ from the heart

April is a fun month for my Ss and me. It’s poetry month and autism acceptance month so we have fun exploring both!

What a great way to get them to write!

There were sessions offered by teachers from both middle schools. Parents interacted with each other or joined the activities and former Ss returned to help!#WeAllBelong #JoyInLearning

Here’s a great way to celebrate Black History in schools, take a bulletin board walk w your class! Students can: 1. Choose a book to add to TBR list 2. Read a biography 3. Pick a favorite quote @EslShand @EocLexington @TenacityMuseum #blackhistoryiseveryoneshistory

[MsShandESL @EslShand]

I get excited when my students are curious! #JoyInLearning #CuriosityInLife

Black History is being celebrated in my classroom! We also decorated our hallways and shared important information with those who passed by.We’ve had some great conversations this year. Up next, Women’s History Month!
