95% of our @LeanderTigers tested, passed the AP Spanish Language & Culture exam, earning the possibility of a combined 204 hours of college credit @UTAustin in 8TH GRADE! Congrats Maestra Santos & our incredible 2018-2019 AP Spanish IV students! #TheWestDen 2-5s, 12-4s & 5-3s

I left school this week feeling extremely proud! My students worked hard to present weather data using line graphs in gallery walk-style presentations.

@MissStefanski New Zealand! Weirdly enough, people from New Zealand are also called Kiwis, rather than New Zealanders.

"There is a gender equitable way to teach mathematics – that also happens to be a better way to teach all students."

Did you catch @JoBoaler's blog about the factors at play when girls are excluded from maths?

I spent the morning networking with education professionals in Austin, TX and surrounding areas, learning more about potential careers in the Lone Star State!

With Spring Break starting today, I took some time to reflect on how lucky I am to teach young people. I’ve already lost track of number of times I looked back at the notes my high schoolers wrote me on my last day. I can’t wait to hang these up by my desk in my future classroom!

Every day, I’m blown away by the curious, creative, and innovative minds of 6th graders.

Last week, my 5th and 6th graders investigated properties of right triangles to prove the Pythagorean Theorem! #YesButWhy
