3rd Grade Teacher, Fountain Hill Elementary School. Before students can learn, they must feel safe and valued, and possess the tools needed to self-regulate. ๐ค
Itโs been a funny teacher-dream of mine to plan a Field Day. And with the help of Mr. Corsi and dozens of other staff members, my goal was achieved today!
I love my school so much, all because of the people inside of it. Thank you for a memorable day, Fountain Hill! ๐ซถ๐ผ
Principals want teachers to be sensitive to the โWHOLE child.โ
Well principals need to be sensitive to the โWHOLE teacher.โ
Maslowโs theory was not just about kids; it applied to ALL humans.
Rediscovered this quote in my SEL course at @LehighU and it hit me at exactly the right time. This is such a key idea that students AND staff should consistently practice: space between an action and your reaction.

Phonics training today at @NEMScommunity with lots of my old pals. Learned so much about how to scaffold and use multisensory strategies during phonics instruction.

One reading group brainstormed and picked a topic to research, gathered information, categorized their facts into sections, collaborated on a shared Google Slides file, and presented their project, 100% student-led! Iโm in awe of their hard work and self-motivation. Bravo! ๐๐ผ
The thing that makes me happiest as a teacher is when students work together EFFECTIVELY and continue their collaboration even when they think Iโm not watching. That is true engagement! Proud of my crew for taking ownership and diving right in, even if itโs overwhelming at first.
Love watching my class take ownership over the Reading Big Words routine! So empowering for students to have the tools they need to tackle multisyllabic words independently!
