Some days call for a little #selfcare. Tea is the perfect afternoon drink on a rainy afternoon! Thanks @JennCIppy! #LightUpDecember @mhetzlernettles @PineViewMiddle

Today I’m #celebrating a student’s awesome work from our last unit! This student didn’t want to “draw” but turned in this amazing project! @mhetzlernettles @PineViewMiddle #LightUpDecember

I #appreciate when my colleagues/friends step in to help when needed! A day like today “took a village.” 🥰 @PineViewMiddle @mhetzlernettles #LightUpDecember

Sometimes #growthmindsets will carry into the next year! @AmedyTeach gave this assignment the previous year and this student is now making an A in science! So proud of her growth! @mhetzlernettles @PineViewMiddle #LightUpDecember

I am so #grateful for the opportunity to be on campus with staff and students, but also be able to help those who are home during this pandemic! These kids bring me joy!

Wanna know my “why” for teaching? It’s the cliche saying - “love seeing those lightbulbs go off!” #LightUpDecember #mywhy @PineViewMiddle @mhetzlernettles @SciencePasco
