@ShumakerDebra @metteillu Yes!!!! @metteillu ❤️❤️❤️❤️ The (face) of PBpitch! Such stunning talent!

[Mandy C. Yates @mandyyates]

@PJMcIlvaine @ShumakerDebra Thanks to both of you for running it all these years. My oldest turned 10 in May. Writing PBs were my life until my kids came. They are growing older and someday too soon I’ll be back in writing. It makes my heart so happy that you provided opportunities for pb writers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

An incredible way to show appreciation for your staff! Our principal recognized each person for a unique trait or characteristic. This meant a lot! @KingstonVBCPS @kingston_vb @Sarah_AllardVB

@newsintern97858 @MrKWisconsin 🤣 and who would be applying for these fresh new positions?

[Mandy C. Yates @mandyyates]

@MrKWisconsin Honestly I’d rather have more time than more money.

[Mandy C. Yates @mandyyates]

@Teach_jules 🤣 Where is this?

[Sarah Allard @Sarah_AllardVB]

Today @kingston_vb was overflowing with literacy! We had our inaugural vocabulary parade and ended the evening with Reading Night! It was an amazing Monday! 📚❤️📚 @KingstonVBCPS @MrsBoswell25 #KeepingUpWithKingston @karenbussey5 @mandyyates

[Melanie Brethour @melbrethour]

Yes! All teachers should watch "The Right to Read" @RightToReadFilm and Emily Hanford's Sold A Story" @ehanford because it sheds light on the critical issue of literacy in education. #knowbetteryoudobetter

Multiples Day at Kingston! I love a team that loves a good flower crown! Inspired by one of my kindergarteners who loves Frida! (I mean who doesn’t?)

[Sarah Allard @Sarah_AllardVB]

It’s Multiples Day here at @kingston_vb and we had to show our love for Frida ❤️ @KingstonVBCPS @CatieHennessey @mandyyates @CarlyWhiddenArt

@sckteach 😂❤️

[Mandy C. Yates @mandyyates]

@sckteach It’s funny how we easily forget when we get wrapped up in being on pace and not reacting to the needs of the learners. It’s such a balancing act!

[Mandy C. Yates @mandyyates]

@sckteach Friday all my kids were begging to share their writing. In my mind I was thinking we don’t have time to share! Then I remembered how it’s a part of the writing process that is necessary and purposeful and motivates them to continue writing! So we ALL shared!!! 🤎💜💙
