No amount of college courses or professional developments could have prepared me for distance/hybrid learning, but parent recognition messages like this is what keeps me going! Always striving to push my students and see the best in them ✏️☀️ #cougarsofbchs #wearebousd – at Fullerton, CA

Stuart Little Zoom watch party to celebrate the end of our novel study! We got our drinks, snacks, and the kids got comfy in bed. This was some much needed restorative time for the 5th graders in Room 15! #cougarsofbchs #wearebousd – at Fullerton, CA

Today, we learned “What would happen if you didn’t have a skull?” from Mystery Doug! Room 15 tapped into their prior knowledge and had some great discussions with each other across the Roomers & Zoomers platforms! #mysterydoug #mysteryscience #cougarsofbchs #wearebousd

Group work looks a little different nowadays, but students were SO stoked to get back into a (partial) groove of things with Hybrid Learning! #cougarsofbchs #wearebousd
Country Hills’ room parents (mine especially) are the best! I definitely felt the love and appreciation walking up to school this morning!! 😭❤️💛 #cougarsofbchs #wearebousd

Thank you @cougarsofbchs PTA for this grand donation to all of us teachers! Grateful for the support that we’re receiving to support our kiddos and make learning fun, even through Distance Learning. Extremely helpful for a first year teacher like me, too! 🤗🍎 #wearebousd

After a long week of testing, Room 15 deserved a mini break by taking a *virtual* field trip to Walt Disney World! We walked around the park, rode some rides, calculated time, distance, cost of food (this still counts as Math, right? 🤷🏽‍♀️), and most of all, had a BLAST together!

So grateful to be part of a team that prioritizes building community and creating a social emotional learning space for our students. I’m so lucky that I get to do these fun things with my kids, even if it’s just through Zoom! #cougarsofbchs #wearebousd

It’s so weird to be out of FSD because that’s ALL I’ve ever known in terms of teaching, but I am ECSTATIC to say that I’ll now be part of the #cougarsofbchs family! Meet your new 5th grade teacher at Country Hills Elementary - Distance Learning has nothing on me! 🤗🍎 #wearebousd

Been homeschooling a 6-year old and 8-year old for one hour and 11 minutes. Teachers deserve to make a billion dollars a year. Or a week.

Thanks @FullertonSD for giving these @fisler_school PATHFinder students the opportunity to watch The Nutcracker ballet tonight! Through the PATHFinder Program, Ss are provided with resources to cultivate their passions, such as dance! 👯‍♀️🎄 #navigatorpride #FSDlearns – at Fullerton, CA

I was SO surprised and SO stoked to see two of my 6th graders from last year (whose topic for their Passion Project was dance) perform in the show tonight too! It was so nice seeing you, Tiffany and Alize! Keep on dancing and following your passions!!!!!!! ✨✨✨ – at Fullerton, CA
