Last day of school… Some of the kids asked @AndreaLuisi12 to climb up the climbing structure. After she did, they asked me to do it. It led to this. Teaching is hard. That makes moments like this more special and real. #FogartyPride @MFogartyES @CMonterecy @Mr_Tyrrell

"Out of the 50 elementary, middle, and high schools across Rhode Island that earned a rating of four or five stars, 45 of them didn’t have enough MLL students to qualify for that category – which means they’re essentially being rewarded for their lack of diversity."
My latest column: Don't panic over Classical High School's two-star rating. But don't ignore it, either. bostonglobe.com/2024/01/09/m…

My students loved their "Buddy Read" time in the class of @IamaroneMelissa. They came armed with their own books, but also had an opportunity to have these little ones read to them too. @MFogartyES
