Every time I work from home and watch my 5 year old interact with her classmates and teachers I am blown away. She has learned so much, she uses a computer like a champ, speaking in two languages, switching between classrooms, and having fun. Mostly she is having fun. 💕

Today I mediated an apology between two 1st graders. After one said he was sorry the other responded by saying “It’s okay, you’re my friend.” And then gave him a hug, took his hand, and walked him back to class.

Today I had lunch w/ the person that had more impact on me and my journey than anyone. It’s been 15 years since I’ve been in her presence and it’s like a day hasn’t gone by. ❤️ She didn’t just see a 22 year old 1st yr teacher - she saw my potential and my heart.
#ForeverGrateful
Every teacher appreciation week I am reminded of how lucky I was my first year to be next door to Ms. Bell. She took me under her wing and taught me everything she knew. I am 100% the educator I am today because of her. She saw potential in a scared 1st year teacher.
