This 1st grader got to hang with the awesome @jmscyclones this morning, and got some hands-on #steam learning with our Urban Agriculture class.

@OMSMediaCenter @PrincipalOMS Great sweater, Ralph!

[Amanda Farris @Mandy7919]

Thanks to @jmscyclones Media Center for helping us pick out some new favorites and giving us a break from the screen. #cpsbest

Got more students back in the building on the same day we have our first snow. Today was a good and busy day!

[Amanda Farris @Mandy7919]

I feel like most #cpsbest are up emailing, troubleshooting and planning (and just being excited!) for tomorrow; but I think I’ve got one of the cutest working buddies.

@comosepta Thank you so much!!

[Amanda Farris @Mandy7919]

So excited to be back! Thank you @comosepta for the welcoming messages! #cpsbest #jmscyclones

My typical response after Zoom meetings about next year, our almost 2 year old has started mimicking me! 😝 Wishing this year had the typical excitement instead of the anxiety, but we can do it! #cpsbest

Raising readers. Jackson’s excited face, John’s focused look, and Lorelei, once again, falling asleep with a book in her hands. My teacher, book-loving heart is so happy. #raisingreaders #bookworms

@robyn_schelp Have a great year, we’ll miss Nate at JMS!

[Amanda Farris @Mandy7919]

So excited that thanks to this grant, our teachers will have a chance to interact with our students a little more normally. So many of our students struggle with communication and allowing them to see their teacher’s faces, will help them tremendously. Thank you @robyn_schelp!

Just got a $250 grant for face masks/shields to make sure the special ed dept at Jeff Middle has clear face wear. If you have @Thrivent insurance, consider using the Action Teams to support your local schools this fall! #cpsbest https://t.co/yNUJcnyYwf

Bonus of the pandemic is being able to help conduct interviews in PJ pants and still look professional. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

#CPSspiritweek Missing all our friends at Jeff Middle and Paxton Keeley, but loving the time with the little photo bombers.
