I pledge that my students WILL NOT face racism or micro-agressions in my classroom. I pledge to continue my pursuit of anti-racist teaching practices. I pledge to continue educating myself! 🍎🖤👩🏽‍💻 #BCPSRace #marsestates #antiracisteducator

When asked who inspired her and deserved a holiday named after them, this amazing scholar picked @lizzo AND for such amazing reasons! Artistic talent, body positivity and representation were all reasons cited in her speech! @kellyaoconnell @MissKazin #ela #RepresentationMatters

Students in Ms. McKisset’s class were polygon detectives today! They measured sides and angles in order to name polygons. Loved the teamwork and collaboration! #MarsStars

[Jenifer Crisp @jenifer_crisp]

On this Valentine’s Day we showed our love for @MarsEstatesBCPS by helping to keep it green. 💕💚#litterchallenge @kellyaoconnell

Fifth graders showed responsibility using math tools to multiply fractions today! This group works hard! #MarsStars @MissKazin @nneedlenthread

We have been so lucky to have worked with Ms. Marie for the past six years. Her hard work, joyfulness, and laughter filled our halls! Wishing her a retirement filled with adventure and a very happy 75th birthday! She will be missed! #MarsStars

Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿

Classroom management means I manage the only person I control. When things get crazy, do I remain calm? Am I respectful to disrespectful people? When someone pushes my buttons, do I react or respond? #thatonekid #edchat #teachers

[Emily Brannan @nneedlenthread]

@offgridteacher @elleek Sounds like they might benifit from having and mtss/sst/504 team look at their data and progress and consider if they might need additional supports to address needs that are inhibiting their full potential from being realized!

[Emily Brannan @nneedlenthread]

@offgridteacher @CGIJason You said they struggle to show their work, but do they still get the correct answer?

[Emily Brannan @nneedlenthread]

Student led learning for the win as we prepare and review for our upcoming unit test! #studentled #visuals #engagement @MissKazin @kestreett @kellyaoconnell @MarsEstatesBCPS
