Little life update! In May I ended my beautiful chapter with @LeanderISD & couldn’t be more grateful for my 20 years there. Now: a new adventure as an 8th grade SS teacher in @FrenshipISD! Feeling SO blessed to be a part of such tremendous districts & so excited at all to come!❤️
Congratulations on such a wonderful season @LHSLionsBBall!! It’s been such a joy cheering you on this year & I’ve been so proud of your perseverance, passion, & teamwork. You guys are awesome & you should be very, very proud of yourselves!!❤️⚾️💙 #proudteacher#foreverfan
So exciting to cheer on some of my kiddos & the whole amazing @LeanderSoftball team today...currently ranked 1st in state and 2nd in the NATION!!🤩🎉❤️🥎💙🏆 What a stellar season already!! #proudteacher#talentedstudents
This activity using @PearDeck was the surprise success of the week! Students illustrated a slide to represent themselves & the class tried to guess whose each was. Usually quiet students were sharing & seen, we learned more about each other & it was SUCH great class bonding time!
Once the correct person was guessed, students shared about their slide & what the illustrations meant. This is when the quiet ones really started sharing! It was beautiful even hearing students saying each other’s names & every one of them felt seen & valued for a minute.❤️
This week’s been all about reconnecting & just enjoying being back together; there aren’t many days I’ve enjoyed more! We’ve laughed, learned about each other, had friendly debates over ‘would you rather’ questions & usually quiet students shared SO much! We really needed this.❤️
I’ve seen a whole lot of my students’ pets while virtual teaching, but I have to say that today was certainly a first! The class is now brainstorming Texas History names for our new virtual class pet.🐔😂 #talesofvirtualteaching#yearoffirsts
#1LISD Fine Arts Student of the Week Jessica Egelsee carries herself with an air of authority & altruism. The RBMS 8th-grader serves as the captain of the Silver Stars performance & dance teams. Busy 15+ hr/wk rehearsing with a private dance co, she also excels in her studies!
It’s so fun to hear them talking about the colleges, and it’s been such a great way to connect with each other. And I’m sure learning a ton, too!! #classroomfun#collegeawareness 🏈🏆🏀🎉
This is so much fun!! To increase college awareness in a fun way, students can choose a college football team to be ‘their team’ for the season, I update rankings weekly & those with the winning team win a little prize. This year I’ve added basketball, too & it’s been such a hit!
