I was walking through a classroom and noticed that each student has a personalized bookmark from the teacher. All I can say is wow! Thank a teacher today for pouring their all into our future.

@nidhiart shared the best advice! ✏️📓

What does it take? A lot of practice, mistakes, more writing & revising, getting feedback, making changes

Be inspired by life!
You can only move forward!
Mistakes always teach you something!

Such a great session with @nidhiart for #WRAD2023

We loved hearing and seeing Jukebox and drawing along with you! Our #lcschmitt 5th and 6th graders are inspired!

We were so inspired by your Little House of Hope and your story of immigrating from Cuba @TerryCJennings

Thank you for sharing your story with our #lcschmitt 4th graders!

We promise to smile, reach out in kindness, be a friend to all❤️

This chart from a 5th grade class is so supportive and respectful of the different ways Ss can enter into a conversation. 💛 that it honors different entry points and can also be used as a tool to reflect on the type of talk we tend to do & set goals. @rbmsROCKETS #RBBisBIA
