I'm all in for year 10! Let it begin with playdough creativity. I'm reading Teach like a Pirate. My first read aloud was "Be You" by Peter Reynolds. Our class motto is "If it is to be, it is up to me!"

Our quote for the day : "Always look on the sunny side". Students wrote reading strategies and colored their eggs. We ended the day with an Egg-Cellent cookie decorating party.

Mindful Monday Moments

I said in June I would write notes to my students. I finally finish writing notes to my students today. It took awhile since I had to personalize and print. Off to the post office I go. I wanted to share a few. #whyiteach

@DrQMil You nailed it! Self-care has to be a top priority. Family is love in action.

What would you do if a flight attendant threw a snack at you on your flight while you were watching a movie on your phone?

I am at a lost for words. It's been 45 days and no response from Southwest Airlines. I even mailed a letter to them on June 27th. I was on the phone with them today for 32 minutes. I was told they are behind and will respond.

The students were engaged and focused. I loved hearing them discuss the strategies they can use for the Reading STAAR while playing the games!

As long as we have memories, yesterday remains.
As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits.
As long as we have love, today is Beautiful.

Thankful Veteran! My students could not find me in my Air Force yearbook from 1983 (LOL). I had not worn my BDUs in 15 years. The student's made me so proud to serve again. #AirForceVeteran #justsmile #cyfairread180 #thorntonpatriots
