Love my "J" hanging in my office. Stretching my skills & using artistic areas of my brain.

This afternoon the #RISDecs leadership team took time to learn a new skill from the amazing @mscfigueroa! Stitch by stitch, our team strengthened our skills and our bond. #RISDprek #RISDcla #RISDflc #RISDtnl #RISDdreambig

Little Mustangs CLA toddlers got to enjoy sensory play with pudding. We know parents shy away from this at home… but messy play is our jam! #RISDDreamBig #RISDcla #RISDecs ⁦@RichardsonISD⁩

Partnerships open doors & build bridges. Through @Gatewayofgrace, RISD is helping build new beginnings through early childhood training, job opportunities & English language support. We're empowering families in ways that reach beyond the classroom. 🔗 https://t.co/u00r06w9hW

@IamBranum challenges district leaders to #RISDDreamBig by shadowing colleagues—sharpening our skills and deepening our connections. @StephanieT71956 we loved having you at LE today! Your leadership shines, and your friendship is a gift.

@DallasStars look who just got our stuck with reading kit! Roxan the cow is excited to share these with our smallest of readers Kinder! We love the STARS IM THIS CLASSROOM!💚🏒

Only in this job could I dress as a taco-loving dragon, read to the sweetest kids on earth, and call it a celebration of early literacy. That’s my kind of #RISDDreamBig!

Little Mustangs Fall Festival was a blast last night! We had a craft project with peeling stickers (for fine motor), duck fishing and a bean bag toss for hand-eye coordination, and edible “sand” for our young learners to explore, and more!!! #RISDcla #RISDecs #RISDBeTheOne

This week, two of the @RichardsonISD @LittleEaglesCLA leaders presented an interactive training about #sensoryplay for childcare caregivers at Gateway Of Grace ESL classes. We all grow better together in partnership. @RISDecs #risddreambig @katyphinney

Shoutout to our incredible Year 3 HIPPY moms! 👏 Today’s group connection reminded us how powerful learning and connection can be!#RISDDreamBig #RISDecs

RISD community partnerships.

Today in the toddler classes, we explored how squishy pumpkin “guts” can be. We also explored how a pumpkin feels and painted a mural with apples and pumpkins. #fallsensory #messyplay #pumpkinguts #risddreambig @RISDecs @LittleEaglesCLA

RISD opened the Little Rams and Wildcats Child Learning Academy in August and held the official ribbon-cutting ceremony this week 💝. The three #RISDcla have been a big dream for @IamBranum & the Board of Trustees to provide as an added benefit for teachers & staff #RISDDreamBig

A beautiful night for a Ribbon Cutting for the final @RichardsonISD Child Learning Academy. We are the #RISDDreamBig of the RISD board coming to completion. @IamBranum @katyphinney @RISDecs

Big thanks to Richardson FD for visiting our tiniest helpers-in-training at Little Eagles CLA! You made the end of our “Friends Who Help Us” theme so special—kind, calm, and full of smiles. 🚒#risddreambig

I work with most amazing group of women at our Little Mustangs CLA! They surprised me today for Boss’s Day by decorating my office, designing T-shirts for us to wear, and by dressing like me- from the oversized T-shirts to my signature hair style. 🥰 #RISDcla #RISDecs

Dual language #RISDprek teachers: don't miss out on this opportunity to learn along side your peers with the MET team! #RISDtnl #RISDecs #RISDdreambig

When you & your #RISDprek bestie both wear your sparkle shoes… it’s a fabulous Friday! #RISDecs #RISDdreambig #RISDtnl

Kicked off Friday with a parent meeting at Mark Twain which included the cutest #RISDprek performers! Thanks for the invite!! #RISDecs #RISDtnl #RISDdreambig
