A Kindergarten teacher who loves coffee and joy. Everyone has a story, here’s a few snippets of mine.

We had our field day opening ceremony parade today. We were the Groovy Geckos. A great way to end the week. #peacelovefieldday

I told my class that if they could all help each other learn how to count to 100 by the end of the year, they could pie me and my assistant in the face. I am so proud of them all!

We created a defining map today of questions we had. We were able to answer most of them by sharing our own knowledge. This particular question however, was answered with “that’s their job”. 🤪

Great way to end the weekend. Fabulous musical and an early dinner. Sunday Funday!

I conquered my fear and ate Vietnamese food for lunch today! I have never had a spring roll or Pho before and I have to say it ranks up there with popcorn! It’s the little things that just make my day.

It was such a fun learning day as we solved missions together to find Zero the Hero. Loved the teamwork I saw today with my students. Happy 100th Day!

Celebrated Alex’s 21st with a great day of our favorite games and food. Love making new memories with my kiddos.

The K team wants to celebrate the upcoming 90th day of school by having a "Guess the Baby" slideshow for the kids and a 90's dance party. I love to dance but I am pretty sure I will standout on the slideshow considering I was in my 20's! It's gonna be Da bomb!

We had a lot of fun today learning about teamwork. 😂 We also learned our family would not do well on any game show. #beveragetime

Watching my son’s cat, Lilly so he can focus on passing his finals. She loves feeding the squirrels every morning. Never thought I would be a cat mom. The things we do for our children.

Thank you Goodwill for helping me out with all the dress up days this week. Tacky Day and Animal Day wouldn’t have been the same. I’m so lucky to have such a fun job.

[Darnell Murillo @murilloSES]

We had a blast today learning about the 1950’s. I just love dress up days!

[Darnell Murillo @murilloSES]

I love it when my kiddos get to use their imaginations and build something. Making a new toy out of recyclables is always one of my favorite lessons. #joyfulFriday

A great weekend with good friends who humored me with my crazy plans. Oktoberfest fun, a treehouse, and a paranormal investigation where we got to hold the EMF readers!! Many laughs and great memories I will cherish.

[Darnell Murillo @murilloSES]

My K students had so much fun today trying this new teamwork activity. So many laughs and smiles. Thank you @mshuff_HPE for this great idea.

[Darnell Murillo @murilloSES]

Spending our Saturday getting psyched for the game of the weekend. Go Browns!

[Darnell Murillo @murilloSES]

Thank you @mr_Alsheimer for the fun cup activity. My K students learned about having a growth mindset today and this was a great activity to accompany the lesson.

It’s my last Friday of the summer and I’m celebrating this morning because I FINALLY won a pickleball game against my son. #nevergiveup
