Kindergartener: Ms. Jackson can you take this to your new office so you never forget me next year?
Me *while trying not to cry: Absolutely!
I wasn’t sure how I would feel about elementary after being at middle school for 5yrs, but these kids have shown they are pretty amazing.

There’s something special about the energy of students right before winter break. Huge shoutout to @GoshenPostES, @GP_PTA, and Pinebrook Elementary for giving staff some extra special treats to help us make it through to the holidays!

When I remember this is a 5 day week and it’s only Wednesday….who else feels like this has been a long week? And based off the behaviors I have been helping with this week, I think the kids are feeling the same.

Excited (and a little nervous) to be stepping back into the world of elementary after being with middle schoolers for the past 5 years! I can’t wait to see all that I learn this year.

I had an undergrad student reach out asking if we could chat so she could learn about School Psychology. After a conversation about all of the great things the field offers, I’m happy to say she is going to start applying to grad programs and looks forward to learning more!

I love when students come to find me after testing to see how they did because I can show them all of their strengths. After reviewing testing with one of my 7th graders, he looked at me and said, “So I’m not stupid.” He then got out his math homework and said “So I can do this.”

The days can be hard, but then I get a note like this that just makes it all worth it.

Our @sourcesstrength peer leaders focused on their strength of generosity this month. They researched local charities and decided to host a food drive at our school. Through this 125 pounds of food was donated! Never underestimate the power of student leadership.

A student I have had the pleasure of working with for the last 2.5 years was taken from this earth yesterday. I have learned many lessons from her bravery and will miss her smiling face in my office. I am blessed to be part of an amazing team of colleagues with so much support

Started working with a student not too long ago and asked him what he’s good at. He said “nothing except getting in trouble.” Today he spoke about multiple strengths and how he can use them to go to trade school. All students have strengths. Together, we can help kids find them.
