Nicholas Cline (13u) lines this ball back up the middle, plating a pair of runs on this single to CF. Up-arrow bat with clear pop, that should continue to spray the ball in the MOF as he develops.

During a lesson with our counselor yesterday, I heard my kids saying things like “Be a leader not a follower” and “use self-regulation” and it hit me that they do hear me and listen (and can repeat my words!) 🥰 #teacherproud #iteach2nd #selmatters

[Leigh Cline @MercerCTOY22_23]

Happy #SELday 2023! Honored to be an important part of my school’s SEL team and to help create our SEL activities all year long, but especially today. #SELmatters #proudteacher

[Leigh Cline @MercerCTOY22_23]

By far our favorite part of the day! @MaddalonEHS My kids asked when they are coming back!?! 🐾 #ReadAcrossAmerica #rolemodels #EwingProud #EwingStrong

One thing they never prepare you for in college is saying goodbye to a student quickly. She asked me to tell the class in a class meeting in a circle on the carpet. We all cried. Saying goodbye to my favorite little people can be so very hard. #classfamily #makemeproud #goodbye

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

Things we should say to people more often...

"How are you?" 😊
"You can do this!" 💪
"I'm here for you." ❤️

Such an inspiring conversation with my 2nd graders about Martin Luther King, Jr. and his work. So proud of how many character strengths my students identified. #MLKJr #characterstrengths #SELmatters #lovemyjob #iteach2nd @TheEwingSchools @MercerCo_NJDOE

We did it! 2-Cline completed over 100 acts of kindness in the month of December to grow the Grinch’s heart. As a reward, I’m doubling my own donation to #CHOPpajamaday and doing something kind for them in January! @TheEwingSchools @NJEA @MercerCo_NJDOE @ChildrensPhila

[Leigh Cline @MercerCTOY22_23]

One of my favorite days of the year and not just because everyone gets to wear jammies! I can’t wait to total our donations! #ParkwayCares #CHOPpajamaday #sayYAYtopajamaday @TheEwingSchools @ChildrensPhila

@Principal_DBES @MTL_PWPrincipal So thankful for our wonderful staff in Mt. Laurel stepping up and helping Parkway’s kids. We have an amazing community. #parkwaystrong #mtlaurelschools

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

Kindness counts! 🧡

[Leigh Cline @MercerCTOY22_23]

SEL is not one additional thing. In fact, it can be infused into academic subjects easily. Second graders identified #characterstrengths in Native Americans in social studies. #SELmatters #lovemyjob @TheEwingSchools @njea @MercerCo_NJDOE

[Teacher2Teacher @teacher2teacher]

This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for teachers like you.

[Leigh Cline @MercerCTOY22_23]

@Principal_DBES Happy Thanksgiving!!
