Even though my birthday is on Sunday, I fully felt the love today from all my coworkers and students. When THE entire 8th grade sings you happy birthday in the cafeteria, you really do feel some type of way. #wpms#8thgraderocks#lovemyjob
Sitting here with my patio door opened and I can hear the marching band at @SocasteeHS makes me miss playing all those Friday nights. #nostalgia#fridaynightlights
Dear Students,
Your intelligence cannot be measured by a number. Your intelligence is defined by your willingness to learn, problem solve and try new things. You are more than a number. You are a brilliant person with unique ideas. Share them!
Sincerely,
Your Teachers ❤️
#TuesdayTip - We must remember to be good to each other. Dismiss the differences among friends and family and focus on the similarities. We are in this world together. We are all different colors but united we form a beautiful 🌈. #SpiritedWarrior#StarfishClub@melanie_korach

We’re back! Things are different, but kids are still able to share their thoughts. Had a guessed appearance from @jessica_reddout great to have everyone back together #hcsmsela#seminormalcy
The last few weeks my kids have worked hard on their graphic essays and I’m so proud of the work they put into them! Their little artistic abilities really came through. #8thgradeela#graphicessay
You know how everyone is frustrated with how politicians are handling the Covid virus pandemic? Now you know how school admin and teachers feel EVERY DAY.
We officially have plexiglass in the classroom. Keeping a positive mindset and hopefully I can pass that on to the kids. We can only control our attitude, words, actions, manners, and effort. If we do that, we can manage the things out of our control. #positivemindset
@GuptonTeaches We’ve been in hybrid model and the amount of testing (MAP and common assessments) that we’ve already done has taken at least 4 weeks (again due to hybrid) of instruction away already, still have another CA and MAP. I’m all for assessing their progress, but not like this.
Try something different this year. Instead of focusing on improving weaknesses which is generally our goal, focus on developing your many strengths. You will be exponentially more successful if you do!
