@mrdearybury Teachers are on your child’s side! This teacher loves your child!

@mrdearybury Those who can do those who can’t teach...#TeachSC

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury The ability to reach all of them, and give them everything they need.

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury I agree, but until we have developmentally appropriate practices and tests aren’t the be all end all in education, I don’t think we can create that environment. Maybe my mindset isn’t right...

@mrdearybury #TeachSC I’m not sure we can. Disney has control, of the product. We don’t have control of the raw materials we receive. We can Maslow before Bloom, but I don’t know if we can get to the magical place. In a school work is required at Disney it is all play.

@mrdearybury Disney has/had an issue with Mother’s mostly- killing them off. But I love the message In Brave!

@mrdearybury Hi in Tracy Montessori teacher 1-3 in Spartanburg #TeachSC

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury I was thinking of one when I was a child- I guess I have done as a mom

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury Cool idea!

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury We were supposed to go to the pumpkin patch on Thursday- 100% chance of rain, thunderstorms, and strong wind gusts... not feeling it!

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury I can see both sides of this- looks like tomorrow night will be a bust. I like it on Halloween but as a tired teacher/mom the next day sucks- #TeachSC

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury #TeachSC I don’t have a Halloween memory...

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@jratterree @mrdearybury Oh you can have that!!!

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury #TeachSC full sized candy bar- There is very little I toss!

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury #TeachSC I bought myself a evil queen costume many years ago- it has served me well- not sure where those pictures are...

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@Beth_Heidemann @mrdearybury yup I am sitting here doing report cards trying to create some sugar sandwiches...

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury My students take home a weekly workplan. The back is a self evaluation with an area for comments from me. I also have a private FB page where I share what we call "week in review" the children tell about our week, I post pictures of the kids durning work and play... #teachsc

[Tracy Bankhead @bankhead_tracy]

@mrdearybury not intentionally... but I think allowing the children to talk about themselves and encouraging their conversations is a bi~product of a student-led conference.
