ELL teacher at Rising Star Elementary. They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. ♥️

@mrs_whiteside_5 @kcbornheimer @Miss_E_Stout @jewett_miss You are phenomenal 👏🏻🤍.

That feeling when your PLC ends with differentiated assessments so all our babies can show what they know, a solid plan for future PLCs, and a (life giving) cup of Betty's Blend...🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻. Love being on this smart, positive, efficient, coffee loving team🌟

This beautiful painting was gifted to me from a student who moved to the US less than two months ago. Today she did the morning announcements. I am in awe of the courage and grit our students show daily. @RStar512

Using visuals to strengthen vocabulary and phonemic awareness. Win/Win!

A huge thank you to @MrsRush_5 for coming in and doing a lesson about the effects of hurtful comments! The students loved their “new student” blue! @RStar512

First quarter has established so many great connections and brought on many moments of growth. What a special place to belong. @RStar512 #youbelonghere

@Miss_E_Stout found the PERFECT book for her classroom family and I was lucky enough to read it to them. Sometimes things come together in a way that reminds us why we're here and what teaching is all about. @RStar512 @jg_risinger #youbelonghere

Expanding vocabulary through engaging play! Pickles to Penguins is a favorite here @RStar512.

The cutest explorers you ever did see! Identifying and labeling colors around the room. 🌈
