So much joy at the 1st West Meade EEC social emotional skills family night. Over 70 families attended!

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

I’m incredibly grateful for the 10 people pictured with me. Our team has a sense of magic that turns work into laughter and challenges into sparks of creativity. Belong. Grow. Succeed.- it’s more than just a motto

It’s going to be an amazing school year! Special Ed Bootcamp is off to a great start.

It may be unknown where the path leads but detours and barriers are part of the climb

I got this email today that reminded me of my why after a challenging week. I believe every child can succeed. I’m glad my PreK colleagues and I made a difference for a little girl who needed a lot of love. Belonging and inclusion matter to me.

Spreading some holiday joy at BWI this morning on my way to visit family. Bringing holiday activities for little ones to do on their flights has brought smiles to the faces of little ones and more holiday fun for me too.

Playful learning and structured teaching may seem to be opposing philosophies but they actually go together to meet diverse needs. Thanks to the SLES Special PreK team for learning together. It’s been a great couple of days.

Self-care Saturday. Keeping my promise to myself to take time for me.

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

Spending the morning with adorable 3 year olds made it an awesome workday! @SES_Seahawks are doing great things.

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

Thankful for work I love! It was an amazing early childhood PD day for PreK and K staff @calvertnet.

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

I spent the past 4 days taking time for mindfulness with fellow @calvertnet educators at the Wild Heart retreat in Colorado.

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

It was a great night of professional learning and collaboration on playful learning at Prime Time Children’s Center. Thanks @ECSupervisor for joining me in working with childcare staff.

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

It’s a great evening of learning for school readiness at the @calvertnet PreK and K Round Up! @ECSupervisor

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

Spending the day learning at the MECLP conference. We can’t wait to bring the learning back to @calvertnet to raise the bar for all learners through building a sturdy bridge between play and rigor in early childhood education. @ECSupervisor

The most relaxing way to spend a Sunday is cuddling my nephew. Family time is the best time.

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

Such a great day at Inclusive Track and Field!

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

Taking some time to enjoy the beautiful weather with a 5 mile hike. I’m trying to prioritize mindfulness.

Mrs. Finn @WindyHillElem is instilling a love of literacy in her PreK learners.

[Kristen Johnson @KJohnsonECSE]

Family first even when it means rearranging life— not a planned trip, but happy to be here with this little man
