Hmm, what do those human letters spell? Our @NIUCOE BAEs represent in Belize, where they’ve traveled this week to facilitate a sports summit to help foster gender equity. First, though, sunshine and warmth! Stay tuned! https://t.co/c2o2jyhiIk @NIUlive @niugradschool @niu_alumni

What an experience today has been. I am so thankful for @KetelsenES allowing me to learn so much. For @SheleneLivas to welcome me into the school. Did a little touring after school and saw so much! -LC

What an incredible week @KetelsenES I cannot thank @janetrodarteroo enough for all that she has taught me in such a short time period. I will always have such a special place in my heart for the “Roos” house. -PW

Time flys by when you are having a good time! I learned so much from working with my cooperating teacher. It fills me with joy to see how much the students enjoyed having me there. Already miss them. Thankful for this experience.#EducateUS-TM

Loved leading guided reading in first grade today! Such a fun, hands-on learning experience! -PO

Had a full day of teaching three 90 minute physical education periods and got to run the athletic period through another workout! Great way to end my experience @FurrHS by watching these kids get so into this game and laugh just as much as they played. -NM

So sad to say goodbye to Memorial Elementary today! I’ve had the most learning packed week and am heading home with so many new tools and skills to use as a future teacher, including this awesome Reading A-Z chart. Not ready to head home, but time to start the semester! -RR

Can’t believe I’m almost done with my last day at HISD, observing a 7th Grade Lab, Helping with 8th Grade and seeing a school Spelling Bee. -CRS
