Whether it’s behind the computer screen or in front of the class (or both) teachers and students have been putting in work this whole time!

Anyone who says this was a “lost school year” hasn’t been around a teacher the past 14 months. They’ve worked their tails off to make the impossible possible!! Much love to all the teachers grinding away every day! It hasn’t gone unnoticed!!#TeacherAppreciationWeek #FLHornets

Times may be tough and uncertain but there’s just something about Kindergarten writing progress that puts a smile on my face (esp when one friend successfully sounded out the word dust on his own 🤩)

“Ms. McGhee I’m going to play an April fools prank on you. When you call my name for attendance I’m going to say Not Here! but I’m actually here do you get the joke? I’m not absent!”

Ms. Lowry is a great teacher and colleague!!

[Kim McKnight @ClassMcKnight]

Way to go, Miss Lowry! Check out those jeeps by our amazing Petersburg resident @TeachRTR @vcusoe. She also has been selected by faculty as a @TeachersPromise

A fantastic read. https://t.co/6fRB1Hq8CH

As I finalize my taxes, I am reminded of a few things:

- Teachers can only write off $250 for school supplies

- The average teacher spends well over $750 on school supplies, especially this year

- Teachers spend more on school supplies than Trump paid in taxes

This morning we were discussing how our hybrid classroom would work. One student raised her hand and asked, “Ms. McGhee, if there’s kids on the computer and kids in the classroom how will you teach all of us?! There’s only one of you!!!”

“If you were making a map of Petersburg, what would you put on your map key?”
Student: “Church because we need ~JESUS~!”

[Kasey McGhee @ms_mcghee_]

Student: “can we go into a breakout room? I need to show you something!!”
*in breakout room*
Student: “I wrote you a note it says “I love Ms. McGhee she is always on my heart” and I drew a heart!”
Me: 🥺

[Governor Ralph Northam @VAGovernor73]

GOOD NEWS: Because of our strong fiscal management, and Virginians working so hard to mitigate #COVID19, we are projecting an additional $700 million in revenues over the current budget cycle—that means a permanent raise for teachers and additional relief for Virginia families.
