I’ve made the tough decision to stay home with my boys for the next year. I love my students and colleagues, but it’s hard to do it all. When it comes down to it, my kids deserve the best of mom, not the rest of her. This last week is a goodbye for now ❤️ #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

Great Puzzle Challenge progress pictures. So fun to see how each class period added to them! #MediaDesign #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

@WalkerWizardsPJ @InspireLakota So fun! I have used clothespins and students clipped them to the step they were on in the writing process for essays. Great visual to see where the class is at!

Addi even successfully picked up the completed puzzle during 6th bell! (AND put it back down without breaking off any pieces) #therealMVP #MediaDesign #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

More puzzle victories from today! The 300 piece puzzles proved quicker than the 550 ones, but the groups stuck with it, despite the challenge #MediaDesign #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

Dog eating cereal was our first puzzle victory of the day! Will we put together all the puzzles? (Don’t worry - they got to take it apart and start all over again!) #MediaDesign #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

The great puzzle challenge has begun! When you return from maternity leave to a new group of students, it’s a great activity to evaluate teamwork and problem solving. #MediaDesign #WEareLakota #RidgeLife

I had a wonderful day back to work seeing old students, meeting new students, and greeting colleagues. But don’t mind if I spend the rest of the day like this 🥰 #WEareLakota #RidgeLife

I had my hands full this semester (quite literally), so I didn’t always have the time to post. I had some awesome and creative students in class, a helpful crew in Student Council, got halfway through grad classes, and welcomed our third baby boy! #WEareLakota #RidgeLife

Had the cutest littlest helpers join me for the 2nd annual Ridge Color Rush! Thanks to PTO for organizing such an awesome fundraiser #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

[Alexx Cook @MrsCook_RJ]

Ridge, don't forget to dress for spirit week this week! Get your cozy jammies ready for tomorrow. Last week of the quarter: we've got this! #RidgeLife #RidgeStudentCouncil #WEareLakota

@WalkerWizardsPJ These kids never lived through paying 10 cents per text message. Every letter counts!

[Alexx Cook @MrsCook_RJ]

Today I was informed that typing “Ok” instead of “Okay” was an old person’s way of typing. I swear these kids are just inventing new ways to make me feel old! 👵🏻👩🏼‍🏫 #middleschool #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

Today at our second meeting, #RidgeStudentCouncil started making posters for our upcoming Color Rush! So excited to get these hung in the hallways! #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

[Alexx Cook @MrsCook_RJ]

@WalkerWizardsPJ Oooh this is fun!

[Alexx Cook @MrsCook_RJ]

Always interesting to hear their thoughts on social media. I modified our silent debate with printed Post-its so they weren’t huddled over posters to write their responses. #mediadesign #RidgeLife #WEareLakota

Tips for concession sales at home games: put the cutest kid in charge! #RidgeStudentCouncil #RidgeLife #WEareLakota @CoachJones52

@SusanWJackson I was so happy to have this in my bag for the end to this week! Supporting Lakota schools AND getting some delicious chocolate? Yes please! #WEareLakota #westpipeline #RidgeLife

I promised the six year old that if they had candy corn in the store, we could make this lovely treat. Candy corn caramel popcorn is the perfect almost-fall snack! (Yum.)

We took our review of digital citizenship to the next level with Blooket. The engagement was real, and students kept wanting to play another game! Results after a round of Battle Royale with bell 2 #WEareLakota #RidgeLife #mediadesign
