First grade learning about some of their community helpers. Having the opportunity to meet them and see where they work thanks to Zoom! Technology is pretty awesome. #firstgrade #communityhelpers #USAF #thepossibilitiesareendless

Please stop saying that we need to increase teacher salaries in order “recruit the best and brightest” as if the best and brightest are not currently teaching.

We need to increase teacher salaries because those currently teaching deserve and earned it.

My first week with first grade exceeded my expectations. I really have found my passion and what I love. I’ve learned “teacher tired” is no joke, teachers need more pay, but most importantly, the heart of a teacher is bigger than most! I’m so ready for week 2!!

Encourage your students to read all summer long with the #ScholasticSummerReading program! 🏖️ Starting today, students can create and keep their Reading Streaks, unlock digital rewards, AND help @SavetheChildren get books in the hands of other kids: https://t.co/7oCfVXkVCt

What’s the best way to keep it all straight and not become quickly overwhelmed? What organization tips do you have before we start our student teaching? #upjteachertea

[Liz Baker 👩‍🏫 @mrsbaker33]

Letter recognition & sounds. The best way to start the day! #preschool #letters #HappyWednesday

[Liz Baker 👩‍🏫 @mrsbaker33]

Showing a child they can do anything they put their mind to....and then watching them beam with pride when they succeed...
I think this may be the main reason I want to teach as many little minds as I can.

It's the little things that make educators so awesome! 🧡

Day 1: I was nominated by @MissAllisonLane Each day I will post a picture from a day in the life of an educator. I will post without explanation & nominate someone else to take the challenge. That’s 7 days, 7 pictures, & 7 nominations! Today I nominate @LabarHannah

When the pandemic came to McKeesport, Pennsylvania, the community didn’t have the resources to enable virtual learning for its students. @craigmelvin is there today with a big surprise for the students of McKeesport Area High School and the middle school next door!

[Liz Baker 👩‍🏫 @mrsbaker33]

As a future educator, student, and mom this new normal is an adjustment. BUT I am so grateful that the opportunity to continue our education is here! My son, not so much 😂

[Liz Baker 👩‍🏫 @mrsbaker33]

Wishing all a happy Easter! Remember all you have been blessed with. This too shall pass... ✝️🐣❤️
