This school year so far has shaken me to my core and made me question everything I know about education. I like it. 😎 I’m excited to be part of the LET committee on campus this year!

Persians: Can we seek refuge in your country? King of India: we don’t have space. See this cup of milk that’s full? There’s no room for y’all. Persians: see this sugar dissolve in it? There’s room. King: 😯 @letmisd #letscelebratediversity #youbelonginmesquite @AchzigerElem

We couldn’t decide which one to read! We had some fantastic conversations about diversity of race, culture, religion, and gender. ALL are welcome! @letmisd #letscelebratediversity #youbelonginmesquite @AchzigerElem

I can’t wait to read this book to my classes today! @letmisd #letscelebratediversity #youbelonginmesquite @AchzigerElem

[Rachel Elmalawany @RElmalawany]

Sharing this awesome book with my last class of the day! @letmisd #letscelebratediversity #youbelonginmesquite @AchzigerElem

Caught @heatherhcp reading to students in the hallway this morning. 💕 @letmisd #letscelebratediversity #youbelonginmesquite @AchzigerElem

[Rachel Elmalawany @RElmalawany]

Today’s read: Not So Different - What You Really Want to Ask About Having a Disability by Shane Burcaw and Matt Carr 😊 @letmisd #letscelebratediversity #youbelonginmesquite @AchzigerElem

[Rachel Elmalawany @RElmalawany]

Today’s read-aloud with my fifth graders: Rainbow Weaver/Tejedora Del Arcoíris by Linda Elovitz Marshall and Elisa Chavarri. It’s an amazing story of a Guatemalan girl who learns to make her own “rainbow.” 😊 @letmisd #letscelebratediversity #youbelonginmesquite @AchzigerElem

[Rachel Elmalawany @RElmalawany]

Reading All Are Welcome by Alexandra Penfold and Suzanne Kaufman this morning! @letmisd #LETSCelebrateDiversity #YOUBelonginMesquite @AchzigerElem

Teamwork! The #fifthgrade team successfully completed the cup stacking challenge. Using a rubber band, string, and NO HANDS, we had to stack 6 cups. Fun activity for the classroom, too! #AchzigerAllstars #EmpoweringPositiveGrowth #MesquiteISD

I won the most coveted door prize during a PD session today. I’ll never have enough pencils! 😂 #MathTeacher #EmpoweringPositiveGrowth #misdproud

@caseydband I used to sit and cry when I had to do math. Now I teach math at a Title 1 school in DFW and I love helping kids learn to love math and build their confidence. Here’s my list for them.💕 Thanks for all you do! https://t.co/q9Xfdl6cCi #clearthelists #support_a_teacher

[Rachel Elmalawany @RElmalawany]

@GuyCivics @support_a_teach Math used to make me cry. I literally sat and stared and cried at my work. Now I teach math and I love helping kids who are just like I was: scared, confused, and frustrated. I love seeing them learn and build confidence! Here’s my list for THEM. 💕 https://t.co/q9Xfdl6cCi
