Even though I am really missing being in the classroom with my students, I am taking advantage of my time and using it to grow as a teacher. Today I am reading a great book while enjoying some much needed sunshine. #learnlikeapirate

Such a fun day today in preschool! We took a field trip to the pumpkin patch and got to experience so much!

We had a little competition with a math game today! @chillwMsChilson and I had so much fun...even though she did beat me.

Over the past year, we have been pen pals with sweet 2nd graders from a local elementary school. It was such a treat to get to meet them this morning! I have loved seeing how much these two kids’ writing and spelling have improved through being their pal.

Enjoyed learning from @ALHistoryEdu last week about history resources that are available! We loved the breakout boxes!

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Don't expect kids to care about the lesson if you are not passionate about teaching it.

[Rachel Ellis @Ms_Ellis_]

This was my favorite from writing in kindergarten today. During recess today, instead of wanting me to push him on the swing, he wanted to push me! So, he wrote about it and drew an awesome picture during writing!

[Rachel Ellis @Ms_Ellis_]

I have loved seeing my sweet kindergarteners write in their journals everyday, but I loved today’s writing even more! It was my last day in their classroom, so they all wrote about me. I am going to miss these sweet kids!

[Rachel Ellis @Ms_Ellis_]

One of my sweet kindergarteners was having fun making letters with the cubes this morning! Loved seeing him sound out my name and make letters to spell it!
