After a well played, close match on Friday vs. Catholic High of Point Coupee, the Hawks prevailed with a win. They are headed to the next round of the State Volleyball tournament on Thursday. Go Hawks! #hailmissmcgehee #athletics #leadingwomen

What changes can we make to programs & services that will create a less stress-inducing environment for people whose core capabilities are challenged? What can we do to help adults who have faced adverse conditions build these core life skills? https://t.co/vsoXvnUmIN

What better way to spend a Saturday morning than at the Little Gate playdate! Families had fun on the playground, in the butterfly garden and enjoyed face painting and much more. #reggioemilia #earlychildhood #familyfun

“If we can get past the discomfort, opening our doors to other teachers can be a fantastic source of professional development”. I love creating opportunities for our Little Gate teachers to visit and observe other teachers. #leadingwomen @mcgeheeschool

Having a schedule at home is so important for children and their families. “If you follow a routine at home, your executive function is better developed than it might be if your home life is unpredictable.”

[edutopia @edutopia]

When teachers film themselves in the classroom, it helps them reflect on and improve their teaching practice.
