Inspiring kids? Inspiring kids can be downright damned near close to impossible sometimes. And… it’s downright damned near close to impossible to measure. You can’t measure inspiration by a child’s test scores. You can’t measure inspiration by a child’s grades. You measure inspiration 25 years later when that hot-shot doctor, or lawyer, or entrepreneur thanks her fourth-grade teacher for having faith in her and encouraging her to pursue her dreams.
Group work is a beautiful thing.
I love to encourage healthy eating in my classroom!

We are taking a ride on the Polar Express today!
Let the holiday festivities begin!
Couldn’t be prouder.
