Modeled a 3.9Di lesson today with a text based on Thomas Jefferson. Of course I had to get into character πŸ˜‚. Our kids enjoyed it and made connections quickly to the 1700s using their text features. Coaching tip: make your lessons impactful! 😁🧐 @LFSmithElem #CoachLife

That’s a wrap for the 24-25 NCA! These amazing first year LAR coaches shared spotlights from their first year. We loved mentoring these coaches and can’t wait to see what year 2 has in store for them. @pisdesela @MariellyTristan @Garci_Elisabeth @mrswthornhill
