Another school year quickly approaching...so excited to be a Seesaw Certified Educator again! @Seesaw
Driving I saw a green traffic light but it was blinking yellow at the same time. I’ve never seen a traffic light do that. Is it a sign? Go but proceed with caution? What area of life am I supposed to apply this message? I wasn’t ready for an existential crisis before breakfast.
When teachers share books with kids...

First day of the new school year in my new position! The start of “virtually” the best year ever! #ACPSFirstDay2020
We had the opportunity to Skype with the VMHC today! We talked about Pocahontas and the Powhatans and how they lived back then. Historians in the making! @MacArthurACPS @VirginiaMuseum
When 25 parents volunteer their time to come in and talk about their professions for your economics unit, amazing learning takes place! Thank you to all the parents who took the time to talk to first grade! The kids loved it!

My students just completed the Three Little Pigs 🐷 Challenge. In a unit on forces and motion, my students were challenged to build a house out of one material that would stand up to the Big Bad Wolf. We used: pattern blocks, wooden blocks, paper, cardboard, cups, clay, & foil.
Tell me Virginia educators, have you read the Technology Plan for Virginia? I appreciate that the VDOE is thinking about how to prepare our students for their life beyond high school.
