Some of the Class of 2021 I had in my homeroom as 3rd graders! In my ❤️ they will alway be my 3rd graders. No matter how tall they are now! Cant wait to see all the good you will do in the world! @APS_SarahSmith

Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be a two screen teacher. And yet here we are. 2020 is throwing a lot of curveballs, here’s hoping I can keep up. @EmilyBoatright @APSESOL @APS_SarahSmith

Great Saturday morning!

Feeling so ready for day one because of this dream team! We have collaborated, practiced Zoom, prepared lessons, and supported one another for the start of a very unique school year. Let’s do this team! @APSESOL @EmilyBoatright @DrJohnBlackwell

And I join the bitmoji craze 😊 Happy to be back as ESOL this year! @DrJohnBlackwell @APSESOL @EmilyBoatright @APS_SarahSmith

Class awards looked a little different this year, but we all felt close even if through a Google Meet ❤️ @EmilyBoatright @APS_SarahSmith

Made it to the last week of school. I won’t get to hug my third graders goodbye this year. So I thought a personal message that comes by mail is the next best thing @EmilyBoatright @APSESOL @APS_SarahSmith

I didn’t know I needed a teacher parade, but my heart is soooo happy right now ❤️ @EmilyBoatright @APS_SarahSmith @SarahSmithEF @APSESOL

My real kids were as excited as my students that we made it through week 2 of Digital Learning! @ptyut1999 @EmilyBoatright @APS_SarahSmith

The first drafts of our “digital learning” opinion piece are rolling in and they have me all 😢 I miss you all too 😭 @EmilyBoatright @APS_SarahSmith @ptyut1999

[Amanda Larkin @heymrslarkin]

I guess this is what teaching bar graphs looks like digitally. A learning curve for all, and yet the kids seem to be the most adjusted. @EmilyBoatright @APS_SarahSmith

Day 2 of “seeing” my kids while teaching my “real” kids @EmilyBoatright @ptyut1999 @APS_SarahSmith

[Amanda Larkin @heymrslarkin]

@ptyut1999 @SamuelGrantJon1 @domdowell3 @MrsJFrank22 @EmilyBoatright Soooo many kids 😍😍😍

[Amanda Larkin @heymrslarkin]

Took the weekend taking over my husband’s desk to set up my “basement classroom”. Ready to “meet up” with my colleagues for some PD tomorrow and ready to try this digital learning thing starting Tuesday! @EmilyBoatright @APSESOL @APS_SarahSmith

Is there anything better than a piñata on a Friday night?!? Everyone is enjoying our Las Posadas celebration @APS_SarahSmith @DrJohnBlackwell @EmilyBoatright @APSESOL

[Amanda Larkin @heymrslarkin]

@DrJohnBlackwell @EmilyBoatright @ptyut1999 @APS_SarahSmith @APS_SmithAP @pointsbyPortee @APSESOL Thank you so much to those who came out to celebrate! It meant so much!

[Amanda Larkin @heymrslarkin]

We held our first annual ESOL After School Tutoring session today! It was the earliest we ever have ever started, with 12 fantastic teachers, and our largest group of 2nd-5th graders (73 were present)! @DrJohnBlackwell @EmilyBoatright @APSESOL

[Amanda Larkin @heymrslarkin]

My ❤️ just is so happy during our Taste of Sarah Smith night! Great food. Great families. All together! 😍 #weareALLsuperstars @DrJohnBlackwell @EmilyBoatright @Katyaorozcot @APSESOL
