Just a friendly reminder as we end Teacher Appreciation Week. 💪🏼 Thanks to our stellar admin for spoiling us all week! 🤗 #DMSGens @dcpsmoss @JavondaTucker @adams_leighann1 @crowder_frankie

Move aside, Elvis, today is our boy’s birthday now. ❤️ Everyone meet the new #DMSGens member, Nate.

#dmspreholidaychallenge - Post a photo in my wackiest holiday attire. Not super wacky, just super grateful I could actually fit into a medium ugly Christmas sweater at 8 months pregnant. Happy break, everyone! 🎄 @dcpsmoss

#dmspreholidaychallenge - Post something that made me smile or laugh today. This was not filmed today but this kid always makes me laugh, even if she likes to shut us out of our own home.

#dmspreholidaychallenge Day 5 - Wear your favorite flannel or holiday shirt, so I obviously had to rock the flannel mask with my Home Alone shirt.

My inspirations every single day. ❤️ The three who have my heart (the third arrives in January 🥰). #DMSPreHolidayChallenge

When you’re reading “The Outsiders” to your kids and your coworker orders you an adorable mask, you have to wear it. Stay gold, Ponyboy. ✨ @catina_chapman

@PGS_Amanda_Clay Ok. Prince George needs to stop taking our people! 😂😂 They’re getting something great ones!

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

One of my sweet students brought me a cupcake and balloons and thanked me for doing a great job teaching her. 🥺 It might be tough some days but I definitely do adore these babies. #DMSGens #MUSTbesuccessful

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

Merry Christmas everyone! #DMSGens #dmsgensonbreak

@DcpsKellyD He said he was looking bad today and had to send me a good one. 🤣

Day 14: Mr. Wilson is such an important part of our school. Not only does he have so much energy to keep up with the kids, he also runs the OP Center flawlessly. #dmsgenspreholidaychallenge #DMSGens

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

When one of my kids wants to get me a gift and his mom asks what I like and his response is, “I mean, she has a baby so she likes coffee...” 😂 This truly is the perfect present for my constantly tired self. Thank you again Triston & @dcpsbooe ! 🤗 #mykidsknowmetoowell #DMSGens

Day 13: Someone who always has my back is 100% this wonderful lady! It doesn’t matter if I bust up in her room in the middle of her lesson, she is constantly helping me with ideas to improve my lessons. I adore you, @catinachapman ! #dmspreholidaychallenge #DMSGens

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

Day twelve: a picture with any grade level or department colleague and I had to choose our amazing administrator. The 7th grade definitely wouldn’t be able to function without this wonderful lady. We appreciate you so much @JavondaTucker! #dmspreholidaychallenge #DMSGens

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

Day eleven is about a student I appreciate and why. Honestly, I couldn’t choose just one so I chose a class. With break looming, my fifth period still worked so hard today and I appreciate them beyond belief for that. #dmspreholidaychallenge #DMSGens

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

Day ten of #dmspreholidaychallenge is about something I’m proud that I accomplished and this is not school related at all, but I’m excited to have Christmas shopping done! 🤗 #DMSGens

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

Cheating again with an old picture but day nine is about a colleague you don’t get to see often and mine is dedicated to this amazing lady right here! I miss working with you everyday, @sandeemoore3 ! #DMSGens #dmsgenspreholidaychallenge

[Courtney Morton @MrsCMorton]

Day eight: These kids always make me smile and laugh. Students practiced chronological order by using BrainPop Make-A-Movie. This is just one of the lovely things my kids drew today to show their lives in time order. #DMSGens #dmspreholidaychallenge
