We had our last Buffett meeting this morning! It was such a great experience and I learned so much, especially about the value of collaborating with with center based ECE educators. I really want to find a way to continue to engage in school/center collaboration! #iteachprek

It was our first night of EDU 199 Child Development tonight! I am so excited to teach this content, especially with such a great group of teacher candidates. It’s going to be an amazing summer! #adjunct #childdevelopment #teachereducation

FFN's bill tracker makes it easy to monitor bills that affect the care, education & healthy development of #Nebraska's young children. It updates bill information in real time from the #NEleg, so you can stay current on early childhood policy discussions. https://t.co/hSQb04Ujso

Relationships are everything, people are everything. In everything I do I am standing on the shoulders of giants. I hope to one day be able to nurture, support, and empower young teachers in the same way that I’ve been supported.

I’m feeling very grateful for my job, my team, and the school I teach at! Environment is everything in education and I have one of the, if not the, best leadership teams in the district. Our school is amazing! Because of the people in it!! #iteachprek #opsproud @OPS_Highland

I met my current principal when she was one of the instructors in my teaching program and she has guided and mentored me for my entire career, even when I wasn’t on her staff. Now I am an instructor at that same university and I hope to follow her model of excellence in teaching.

Big garden day in Pre K! We transplanted our bean seedlings from their sprout houses to carton pots so students could take them home, and some new friends moved into the garden! We used our new hallway feature to identify pollinators! So fun! #iteachprek #opsproud

[Emma Bona M.Ed @erbonacci]

We had so much fun today! We planted flowers in our class garden, harvested some wild dandelions to make jelly, and had a mini Star Wars party! May the fourth be with you! #iteachprek #opsproud #maythefourth

The fastest way to become very popular at pre k recess is to hold a beetle 🪲!! So fun to connect our study learning to little critters on our playground! #iteachprek #opsproud

[Emma Bona M.Ed @erbonacci]

Today we read “When Charley Met Emma” and learned about limb differences as part of our Limb Loss Awareness observation! Young children have such a deep capacity for empathy and kindness. #iteachprek #opsproud

[Emma Bona M.Ed @erbonacci]

Today we celebrated Earth Day by beginning the germination process with bean seeds! Friends also designed their own bugs at Art Center!! 🌏🌎🌍 #iteachprek #opsproud

New reads! I will be incorporating more AI strategies this fall in EDU 204 Tech for Teachers! AI is such an exciting and fast moving area of EdTech, and practicing gratitude is at the core of my being, as a human and as an educator. #iteachprek #opsproud #adjuntinstructor

Schools with positive team culture have people who root for others' success. They view themselves as a team not competitors. An individual success is the team's success. Next week look to Celebrate team!

We’re starting Gardens/Insects, it’s our last study 😢!! I’m excited for lots of outside, inquiry based learning!! #iteachprek #opsproud

Thanks so much to @OmahaPubSchool and @OmahaCM for a great Early Childhood fun night!! My son, Aivars, and I had an amazing time! We even ran into one of my students and he and Aivars hugged! Best moment of my life. #opsproud #iteachprek #earlychildhood

Did you get to pet a kangaroo and honk a recycling truck horn today? Pre K friends at @OPS_Highland did! Thanks so much to @WastelineOmaha for demonstrating how all the truck mechanisms work and @WildEncounters2 for sharing your incredible animals! #iteachprek #opsproud

Intervention blocks don't have to be rote review—this format based on computation practice and games can boost engagement and learning. https://t.co/s0RXpeXHGK

@OPS_Highland has the best leadership team @kerrimurtaugh @OPS_MRHILGER !! #opsproud

[𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐝 𝐉𝐨𝐡𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 @DrBradJohnson]

Teachers, never take for granted a leader who makes you feel supported, encouraged, and appreciated. Let them know you appreciate them too.

Elementary educator @garrisonshan told her students a story about her cats, and asked them how much food the cats would need during an upcoming trip. Unbeknownst to the students, they had their first lesson about mixed numbers. https://t.co/qxgE7wFv2k
