Loved serving at Dawson Memorial Baptist Church this semester! @MsHarb2

Such a powerful and emotional video...

If this doesn’t give you a jolt of energy and to know your WHY... I can’t help you.

This is why we do what we do.

We love our Samford professors! Can’t believe we only have one year left with them!

[Ms. Cushing @Miss_Cushing]

To all of our professors: Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We miss you! @SamfordEd @teacherstone @DrLizi @JanemMarlin @kjbteach @Benaye46 https://t.co/lVnlyAmlMA

Throughout this season of e-learning, I have found myself really missing our amazing professors who provide such comfort and encouragement on a weekly basis. @3xjoy, thank you for being such an engaging and loving teacher. I can’t wait to see you again! We love you!

@Benaye46 had us participate in online #professionaldevelopment via Zoom this April for our Teaching of Reading class! I participated in “Strategies to Support Small Group/Guided Reading & Independent Reading” led by @vickidill6! I learned so much about e-learning and literacy!

I am so happy to be a part of an education program that allows me opportunities to grow professionally!! I loved attending the ALA Conference last fall, and I still refer to the notes I took while there! #ALA #literacy #professionaldevelopment

Today I am thinking about what fun @mr_harmonSU, @MsSmith_14, and I had dressing up for our 6th graders at @MBElementary for Boo Bash! Missing my friends and our sweet students!

[Molly Downing @MsMollyDowning]

@Miss_Cushing In addition to TEAMS, I have enjoyed learning to use Zoom! Believe it or not, I had never heard of Zoom before this period of online learning! I love that you can have lots of people in Zoom call and the amount of tools available such as “hand raising” or “thumbs up.”

@theycallme_ms_g I love using Making Thinking Visible to expand my knowledge of teaching and best practices. The layout of the book is so easy to use and is packed with creative ideas to engage students!

[Molly Downing @MsMollyDowning]

So thankful that @SamfordEd has given me the opportunity to write my very own children’s devotional, “When I Feel”!! This video explains the basis of the devotional, and the full book PDF can be found here: https://t.co/5xIITliw8N. @DrLizi #eLearning #Devotional

Beebots make learning coding fun! @MsMollyDowning @3xjoy @SamfordEd

[Molly Downing @MsMollyDowning]

Take a look at the baking themed literacy center I created! It was so fun to practice making QR code’s and activities! #Literacy #Reading #QRcode @SamfordEd

[Molly Downing @MsMollyDowning]

After reading “Iggy Peck, Architect” by @andreabeaty, we visited the #STEAM room to build our own bridges! Check out what @Miss_BeelerSU and I created! @3xjoy @teacherstone @SamfordEd

[Molly Downing @MsMollyDowning]

Celebrating #WorldReadAloudDay by reading “I Am Human” by @peterhreynolds - a great reminder that we are all full of possibilities! @3xjoy @teacherstone @litworldsays @Scholastic
