Nothing like a break from reality to help me reconnect with my husband and myself. Life often gets too busy and distracts me from what's most important. So… instagram.com/p/BsDpkiuHJAyj…

I'm excited to share that in just under three months I'll have a book published. Using primary sources in student learning have been a passion for a number of years and I'm happy to share the approaches that I use with students to that lead to amazing learning. Please Retweet.

Effective teaching is not a simple matter of executing specific behaviors & strategies, because effective teaching is grounded in human relationships. If teachers don't have sound, supportive relationships w/ their students, the effects of their instructional practices are muted.

To all my teacher friends...keep in mind that the kid who is acting up right now may just be dreading leaving you and facing home for a whole summer. Love on them more. Don't lose patience. #Teachers @teacher2teacher


The area and perimeter practice continued as we designed a yard space for fairies and aliens. Students added pools and patios and then determined how much sod they would need to put down.

Remember, your students - they deal with more than your class.

More than 50% of U.S. children experience abuse, neglect, violence, or challenging household circumstances. We don’t always know what children are bringing to school.

Kicked off our Social Action unit today! Listening to the amazing Lee Ann Lyons as she shares how she uses her passion of literacy to make positive change in the lives of Guatemalan children.

Presented the session, "Igniting Students Curiosity Through the Use of Picture Books," at the Educators for Social Justice conference today. Forgot to take a picture of myself but got one of my books. Such an amazing opportunity to connect with educators in the area!
