When you start with a foundation of respect and building good relationships with your kids, engagement increases, effort increases, perseverance increases… and then learning increases.
Great teachers empathize with kids, respect them, and believe that each one has something special that can be built upon. #education #teachers

Grandparents day was more than an event-it was an experience. 🥹 Our Carter grandparents enjoyed quality time with their grandchildren.🩷We’re talking art therapy, bead making, affirmation rocks, VIP interviews, door prizes, hand art, and more! Day#1 @Carter_AISD @DrWynneLaToya

Our campers were able to “Meet the Counselor”, learn more about what RESPECT looks like, identify healthy ways to show respect, and understand how it impacts a friendship. #Growingseason #respectfully@Carter_AISD @Counseling_AISD #team3 #aldinestory @CharacterStrong

Today, students had the opportunity to practice perspective-taking by guessing someone’s else’s point of view! When we take time to understand other people’s points of view we are showing RESPECT! ☺️👏🏽 @Counseling_AISD @CharacterStrong @Carter_AISD #Team3 #aldinestory

What happened, on the first day of school, that made your butterflies, in your stomach, to flutter away? Read aloud, “Butterflies on the First Day of School!” and writing activity with 5th graders.. @Carter_AISD @chezzadi @aldinelibraries

As a teacher and mom of bilingual children, I see every day that honoring home languages isn’t extra - it is essential! It resonates deeply, the “heartbeat of this work” is our classrooms and the students within them. Thanks for sharing and leading the work!👏
Delighted to share this blog contribution for the @elsuccessforum newsletter. I am so proud to lead this work in the state of Texas, on behalf of all 1.3 million emergent bilingual students. @CrysGonzales7

Love seeing Ms. Hernandez create a safe learning environment with our @Carter_AISD students! I love the opening video created by the fine arts team to share how excited they are for all students to learn about music, dance, art, etc. Love the read aloud “A Letter from my Teacher”
