It was an amazing experience to have @paulguerra56 hand my last baby his diploma and shake hands with his former principal now Interim Superintendent @jim_vasquez20. Thank you @SocorroISD for providing amazing opportunities for all three of my kids.

Day 2 @MSmith_PDNFAA and these kindergarteners were ready to try a Kagan strategy. Learning how to be active listeners and amazing speakers. @AEscobar_PDNFAA @ESanchez_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4

SEL ✅ Draw a case for your friends to solve. Science✅ Guitar building and pancake making- energy. ELAR✅ Authors purpose and text to self connection 🥞 @MSmith_PDNFAA @AEscobar_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4 @mpina01_PDN @REstrada_PDNES @JSalgado_PDNES

Teachers, it's not unprofessional to say No, set boundaries and stick to them, or speak up for yourself. In fact these are some of the most important aspects of self care. https://t.co/RURp1BXrEb

Kicking off our Hispanic Heritage Month with a Text to Self connection. Having a concha and listening to a text about Latino food. @MSmith_PDNFAA @AEscobar_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4 @mpina01_PDN @BArsola_PDNS

SEL Friday in action! Purposeful talking explaining how we feel when we make a mistake. @MSmith_PDNFAA @AEscobar_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4 @mpina01_PDN @JSalgado_PDNES @REstrada_PDNES

Day 1 of Heart Academy was full of engaging activities. Thank you to our amazing leadership team for making this possible @MSmith_PDNFAA @AEscobar_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4 @mpina01_PDN

I see future Prop Masters in the making. Designing using base ten blocks. Second graders integrating fine arts with Math. @MSmith_PDNFAA @AEscobar_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4 @SISD_FineArts

Principals, stock up on Post-it notes for fall! When you visit classrooms, leave a post-it note on their desk telling them how lucky their students are to have them & share something you learned or enjoyed about the visit. I call them "Post-its of Praise"

PDNFAA 2nd grade teachers ready to #Be_Creative @MSmith_PDNFAA @AEscobar_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4

Embedding fine arts with our team building! #BE_Collaborative @MSmith_PDNFAA @AEscobar_PDNFAA @PDN_Mccormick4

Admin, when you drop in classed for visits this fall, check to see if the teacher needs anything, like running to restroom, or bring them a water/ coffee. The little things are the big things in the daily grind!

Admin check on your work. Leaders check on you.

Day one of Summer Tutoring @PDN_Academy was filled with fun and excitement. Kinder working on begging sounds, penmanship, building numbers, addition, subtraction, and stations. @MSmith_PDNFAA @lwaters_PDN @sperez_PDNES @PDN_Mccormick4

Getting ready for our senior Aztecs to walk the halls @PDN_Academy one last time. Can’t wait to see my son as he returns to his once K8 school. Another one of my children graduating from @SocorroISD. @MSmith_PDNFAA @lwaters_PDN @sperez_PDNES @PDN_Mccormick4 @EDAztecs_HS

Super proud of our students @PDN_Academy for showcasing their technology skills while embedded fine arts. @MSmith_PDNFAA @lwaters_PDN

What do you like about yourself? @PDN_Academy our SEL lesson had our students discussing what they like about themselves. Our amazing lesson even had a reflection piece after our lesson. @MSmith_PDNFAA @lwaters_PDN @REstrada_PDNES @JSalgado_PDNES

Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers don’t need to be fixed, but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated.

Exciting week @PDN_Academy. My students preparing for Techy Tikes event . I was also lucky to see my grandson enjoy his Easter egg hunt in our new playground for our PreK-3 jaguars. @sperez_PDNES @PDN_Mccormick4 @MSmith_PDNFAA @lwaters_PDN
