That's two years of GROWTH on TELPAS! I can't wait to meet with my students and show them how much they've grown in just 2 years and start setting goals for this year! 📈🎉 #risdbelieves @JHErisd

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

I can't think of anyone more qualified for this job! I am going miss my teammate and friend so much, but I couldn't be more proud her for following and reaching her dream! ❤️

[Sarah Villafane @MrsVillafane]

Year 10 is starting out a bit different… I accepted a position with T&L as the RLA specialist for 3rd-6th grade! I’ll be transitioning through the fall, but I am so excited to help teachers district-wide improve their literacy practice! #RISDBelieves #RLABelieves

[Sarah Villafane @MrsVillafane]

At Jess Harben, we are committed to every child, every day! @MrsMetcalfESL @Mertavation @MrsAngieMendoza #RISDbelieves

@MrsVillafane @Mertavation Um I am so jealous that my two favorite people are getting to spend the day together without me!! Dream team right there!

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

@DustinBurson We love you!

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

Did a little 6th grade classroom makeover today with @MrsAngieMendoza! Can't wait for our kids to get a fresh start in the new year tomorrow. A few more finishing touches in the morning and we'll be ready to go. @MrsVillafane, can't wait to coteach with you in here! @JHErisd

[Sarah Villafane @MrsVillafane]

Twinning with my favorite @MrsMetcalfESL today! #JHEtakethelead #RISDpoweroflove

Got the best gift from @MrsVillafane today! A new book AND a stamp with my giant puppy. Now I need to go stamp ALL the things...even if it isn't a book! 😍 #risdpoweroflove @JHErisd #books

Watching @ashley_bouras put our school musical together is AMAZING. I am so excited to be a part of this! #risdgreatness #jhetakethelead @JHErisd

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

The best part of getting to spend the day back in the classroom is getting to do read aloud with my kids again. I live for that moment when they beg you to keep reading! #readaloud #risdgreatness @JHErisd

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

Excited to meet with my ESL students this week to look at their TELPAS data and set specific goals and areas to focus on! We are all about taking ownership of our learning and having a #growthmindset 😊 @JHErisd #RISDgreatness #risdpoweroflove

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

@MrsVillafane They loved it! You and your quick question writing skills will never cease to amaze me!

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

@Mertavation works magic in the library! I love how much our students LOVE going each week and how excited they were to get so many books in their hands! @JHErisd #risdpoweroflove #risdgreatness

[Christina Merta @Mertavation]

6th graders happy to be sitting in flexible furniture just able to read! @LIBRARIESinRISD

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

Enjoyed participating in the 5th grade density lab this morning! It's so fun to see kids doing hands on learning. Their excitement is contagious! You are doing awesome work @Lmanning01 #RISDpoweroflove #jhetakethelead @JHErisd

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

Got to pull some of my kids and get to know them better! Being an ESL teacher is the best! I am getting small group and one on one time with kids from all over our building. I love it! #risdpoweroflove #jhetakethelead @JHErisd

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

5th grade ending the first week of school with a book tasting is the absolute best! I loved getting to pop in and chat about books with kids. @averyangstadt is going to do awesome things in here this year! #JHEtakethelead #risdpoweroflove @RISDLitandInt @JHErisd

We will not sit by as Governors try to block or intimidate educators protecting kids against COVID-19.

This isn’t about politics. This is about keeping our kids safe and taking on this virus together.

[Alyssa Metcalf @MrsMetcalfESL]

Can't wait to be back on campus with our JHE family on Monday!!

[Sharon Newman @drsharonnew]

Excited for our staff to come Monday!! Cannot wait for everyone to feel #risdpoweroflove and be ready to #JHEtakethelead this year! Thank you to @MrsVillafane, Ms. Janet, @jennielew, @DustinBurson, and our custodian Dora for making the magic happen!
