I served on the 2018 Bond Committee and tonight I saw the finished projects that we had once dreamed of! As we embark on the 2022 Bond journey, feel free to ask me questions as we dream together of our next steps in @HumbleISD!

“Under Construction” I love how this preschool teacher allows students to leave projects in play up from one day to the next. Awesome idea to support high quality engaging play environment! #earlymatters

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning.
But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood"

The recent paper, “The Long-Term Effects of Universal Preschool in Boston," confirms the importance of preschool for young children and expands on what makes it valuable and necessary. On the blog, we share three key takeaways from the paper. #ece https://t.co/tR8KFLc9S4

I'm still in awe of the learning that took place with @MisterMinor in Humble ISD last week. There's a collective shift in the atmosphere because you stretched us and challenged our thinking in such a way that we can never return to the same. Thank you!
