Here is one of my favorite lessons to do every year with Design Thinkers, Leadership, or any content area that would like to work on school culture & add their voices to the elective choices being offered: Invent THAT Class! https://t.co/CuuUNFW7Hs #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

Our fabulous UMS Site Technology person, Mrs. Adams, not only provides prompt service, but does it with a smile (see it in her eyes?) And, she always asks me how I'm doing. True kindness. #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

A huge 💐 to @AnnaLeunga for her help with my questions about health benefits. She promptly and carefully walked me through what I needed to do and let me know when the process was completed! #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

Today we used Legos to create/explain something connected to our realistic fiction short story. Thanks to @LisaGuardino for making the activity from my "we need something kinesthetic and verbal for students to do after returning from vacation" ramble! #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

@MrsSilvaDMS @mrslandis5 @usdlearns @DartmouthMS https://t.co/10AXlqLHb3 Me looking at this list and trying to manage my expectations... which are currently out of control... as I want to make everything! 😂

@MrsSilvaDMS @mrslandis5 @usdlearns @DartmouthMS And, I will bet the rest of the slide deck has a page for each recipe? 😀

2020 was not just "the year of COVID," it was the year we lost all three of our senior cats. Fast forward to now: meet Newton, Darwin, and Ada. Our hearts are full. ❤️ #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4

Saturday mornings mean hiking with Snapper, @mil_tastic, and Star the dog. Today's route took us 5.8 miles through parts of Quicksilver County Park. #teamUMS #UMStwitterBingoV4
