A great start to a great school year with my new ECE student teachers, our seniors, and my favorite teaching partner, @mrs_lorko

Ready for a groovy year! 🏵 Can't wait to see all our juniors and seniors on Monday morning.

[Hilary Duffala @MrsDuffala]

Our seniors designed some super cute ECE gear for this upcoming school year. Get them while you can!

A little late, but nothing but proud of the nine ECE student teachers who competed at the FCCLA state competitions. 1st place in Lesson Planning and a 2nd place in Chapter Service Display (& nationals bound) is quite the accomplishment! #ohiofccla #headedtoDenver

Nothing is better than taking your student teachers to their first ever OAEYC state conference. ❤️ Seeing them take part in meaningful PD and grow makes my teacher heart happy. #OAEYC2023 #teacherofteachers

If you live in a major city, you can pay more than $17,000 a year per child for child care.

For many families, that’s more than you pay for a mortgage or a college education.

It’s overwhelming.

That’s why today I'm signing an Executive Order to make child care more affordable.

Super proud of my ten student teachers for their accomplishments at the FCCLA Regional Competition! 3 gold and 4 silver 🏅 medals! #proudteacher #leadership #ohfccla

Calling former students! Want to come back to ECE and help us judge FCCLA projects? We'd love to have you!

I had the best mystery reader today. She even planned a sorting by size activity to do with my class. 🩷 #futureteacher #prek

Super proud of my student teachers for planning such a great project for such a great partner in our community!

Nothing like sweet second graders at their Christmas concert! Oh, and these two pre-k pals then and now.

Today @mrs_lorko and I spent the day learning how to reach and teach children who have experience trauma from Dr. Becky Bailey! #consciousdiscipline #PD #relationshipsfirst
