#TeacherOpinion Kids are growing up too fast.The things I’ve heard my students say and talk about this week make my teacher heart sad and my Mama heart scared.The things they watch,the words they hear,the sights they see-not the things I think of when I think about Kindergarten
Me: Hey is this your jacket?
Student: I don’t know, does it smell like me?

✏️🍎It’s a beautiful day to register for Kindergarten! My teacher heart is so excited, my mama heart isn’t quite ready yet though! 💙 @CentervilleVB#VBCPS#Kindergarten
One of my favorite days of the month-supply pickup! Love seeing my students and their families in person and suppling them with some hands-on learning goodness 🌻 @CentervilleVB#Kindergartenfun#virtuallearning
Me:Would you rather stay up late or wake up early?
S: I like to stay up early when I go to bed.
They really need a class in college for decoding kid riddles 😅#kindergartenfun#MorningMeeting
One of the toughest things about virtual kindergarten: getting students to hold up their papers simultaneously 😅Spent this morning learning about how Eric Carle creates his unique pictures🐛 @CentervilleVB@vbschools#Kindergarten
Instead of pacing guides, can we all agree to use progressions of learning?
It's not, "Here's when you learn this,"
but rather, "When you learn this, here's what you learn next."
