Grade 4. Gift for the teacher. Has no connection to any of our curriculum. I most certainly was not doing this on my own when I was this age, and I did end up studying Chemistry and Engineering. This is what Love of Learning looks like. I am so honored to be this kid’s “teacher”.

👀 at our ROCK ⭐️, Miss Perry! Then and now. This amazing young lady was in my first Grade 4 class and now she is headed to NC State’s Elementary Ed teaching program. She spent this year in my classroom as an intern and these kids adore her! Congratulations, Faith! We ❤️🖤🤍 you!

Full day of LETRs AND tracking into a new room that was occupied by another group of students until 1:45. (Do you realize what your schedule does to multi-track year year round teachers, wcpss?) I could 💯 not have done it without the help of these lovely young ladies. THANK YOU!

Exploring Tunisia! Grateful for Carolina Navigators at UNC-CH for the Tunisian culture kit, and one of our own students for the first-hand accounts of his parents’ homeland. This was so much fun! @BESFirefly
