Beautiful day of racing at the Bill Dawson Invite! Always a fantastic meet, I have great memories running this invite when I was at Warren. Loved catching up with my past Viking runners. #GoBlueDevils

Never too old for story time! The perfect brain break after testing. And to make it even more exciting - the book, Our World of Dumplings, was written by my cousin Francie Dekker! ❤️🥟 they were upset the book didn’t come with samples! #d56achieves

@JennSWhite @anniek_p Make sure if you leave butter out unattended it’s covered! We’ve found the top of the stick fully rough(?) from cat licking 😣

@FlenorlLaura @Desmos When it comes to grading quizzes & end of unit assessments, make sure to take a look at their attached “assessment summary and rubric”. It made grading free-response questions SO much easier and way more consistent. I do keep all the paper resources digital on my end.

Track is back! First Viking track meet since spring 2019. Don’t let the pics fool you, the temps Thursday night were cold with 45+ mph winds. It was a very late night, the last races were run in the dark. The kids were all troopers!! #vikingD56 #d56achieves
