Finally got to use my magnetic poetry kit with my freshman today! They did not disappoint. Some goofy, some deep. All took lots of effort and concentration. Huge shoutout to @VHSRoom109 for letting us use her magnetic baking sheets!

Congratulations Van Horn High School Class of 2020! 🎓 #isdstrong @Vanhorn_falcons

[Independence School District @ISDSchools]

Students at Van Horn began a special project back in January to honor their teachers who have deeply impacted their lives. Watch and listen as the teachers opened their special gifts for the first time during Teacher Appreciation Week. #isdstrong

[Ditch That Textbook @DitchThatTxtbk]

Teachers, thank you for everything you do.

Each and every day you make a difference in the world.

Your ripple effect as an educator is far-reaching.

Never forget your impact.

@Mrs_Schoff Cohen was my fav part of every zoom meeting with you 😂

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

@mrsashcook @Mrs_Schoff @mromero0717 @surrey_42 @TedDiepster @VHHS_Koon Kara is amazing and I will miss her greatly in my classroom next year!

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

A5: HUGE shoutout to @Mrs_Schoff would not have survived at all without her. Also @mromero0717 advocated for and pushed me all year in the best ways! @surrey_42 @TedDiepster @VHHS_Koon for being a great department with great ideas about everything!! #isdnta19chat

@Miss_Sturges So glad the fellows program connected us Lydia!! Couldn’t ask for a better group of friends who support and challenge me as an educator

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

@MrEdwardsTHS @MrsGreenstreet @MrsRScott Buddy!! I would have been so much worse off if you didn’t live right across the hall. You challenge me and make me a better teacher

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

@Mrs_Schoff I couldn’t have done it without your support!! You definitely helped make that unit a success in more ways than one!

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

A4: I’m most proud of stepping outside of my comfort zone in teaching a book my teammates weren’t doing. It paid off because kids LOVED it. “Dear Martin” by Nic Stone if you want to check it out! #isdnta19chat

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

@MrEdwardsTHS Couldn’t have done it without you! Glad I had you all year to brainstorm and vent with!

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

@mrsashcook Yes! But I already know next year, while probably not perfect, will be WAY better!

[Miss McCain 🌸 @mccainVH]

Most challenging thing as a first year teacher was 1.classroom management. I didn’t really know what worked and what didn’t, so it was hard to stay consistent. 2. Building a curriculum that I liked from scratch #isdnta19chat
