@MTL_Poolaw So happy for you!!

Looking for some recs- my ELA class is reading a novel about a Native American tribe, Nez Perce, and are super interested in naming ceremonies. Does anyone have any local (Southern NJ) connection to a guest speaker who could come to our class and share their knowledge & culture?

Spent the morning @GlassboroPSD observing some amazing educators to help us implement our ELA pilot & the afternoon with some inspirational I&RS team members at @HaddonSchools SJ I&RS Consortium w/ @LinnehanReads & @fellonateach to learn from each other and grow in our roles ❤️

We celebrated #startwithhello and #respectweek @HTWPSchoolsNJ this week and this was our culminating activity 😁

How amazing is this…our local @Wawa called this morning & said they were bringing over coffee and donuts for our whole building 😍 What a delicious and delightful way to kick off Friday of Open House week! #magnifykindness @HTWPSchoolsNJ

15th BTSN and it felt SO good to have a “normal” night for the 1st time in (what feels like) forever! Parents were so thankful & appreciative & it truly made my week.💚 being a small part of my Ss educational journey & sharing all the amazing things we’ve done in only 11 days.

First week = our first science lab. Ss had to “save Sam” (gummy worm) using only the tools they were given without touching him, his boat, or his life preserver. One of my fav lessons to teach about persistence, collaboration, scientific processes & not giving up! @HTWPSchoolsNJ
