At the end of each school day, we share our glimmers ✨ from the day… Today’s glimmer ✨was the excitement this sweet friend of mine felt when she realized we were twinning today. 🥰
Today starts Teacher Appreciation Week - which in @OrioleTweets means we start recognizing Teacher & Support Staff of the Year. 1st stop - Hickory Elementary! Congrats Mrs. Acton & Mrs. Havrilla. Their teams were so excited for them!
Such a beautiful day for a field trip to the state museum ☀️🤍
I somehow managed to make it to year 4 of teaching with never going on a field trip until today! What a great group to experience my first teacher field trip with 🤍

There are so many things I love about teaching, but my number 1 thing will always be the relationships. My heart is so full from watching one of my former second graders play basketball with some of my current fifth graders. 🥰
This job is hard, but man is it rewarding 🤍
We hire teachers for their strengths, yet we fixate on managing their perceived weaknesses. Imagine the impact if we not only identified and celebrated strengths but also created a culture actively nurturing and amplifying them!
Administrators who invest in building relationships with their teachers/ staff tend to have more engaged and committed teams. Engaged teams are more likely to be productive, creative, and loyal.
I am so saddened by the news of @RalphHartnagel3 passing away. I was lucky enough to have been in his classes all through hs. He was such a great teacher who really cared about each of his students & continued cheering us on even outside of his classroom all of these years later.
