Thank you @Wes_Kieschnick for your incredible sessions today on engagement, reciprocal teaching, power strategies, relationships, and so many other life lessons. Everything was practical, meaningful, inspirational, and will make a positive difference in so many classrooms!
Amazing field trip yesterday exploring Sugar Skull City in downtown Aurora with Puertas! We saw beautiful ofrendas & street art, heard from an admirable local artist, and were inspired by IL State Rep Barbara Hernandez! Thank you @alexandria_rios for joining & supporting us!
Feliz Día de los Muertos—a holiday that recognizes those who helped shape us and whose love continues to guide us and shine through us. Thank you for supporting Puertas and celebrating with us. We hope you have a meaningful and reflective holiday remembering those you love!
Jolette Jiménez bailando un baile folklorico de México para celebrar el primer día del mes de la herencia hispana. She brought culture to our cafeteria and tears to our eyes and filled our hearts with so much love and pride. Amazing job, @JoletteJimenez1! #orullomundy
Johana Maldonado cantando el himno nacional de Mexico para el primer del mes de la herencia hispana! She did a beautiful job honoring her home country by singing its national anthem in front of her peers! #orgullomundy
Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana del club de Puertas! Yesterday, these kids did an awesome job decorating before & after school! Today, members Johana Maldonado & Jolette Jimenez did an amazing job kicking off the celebrations by performing before school in front of their peers!
Our Summer School kiddos helped pack hundreds of meals today at Feed My Starving Children. They loved that they were able to help others and work towards a greater cause. @fmsc_org

Celebrated Día de los Muertos at school today with class discussions, reflections, selling cempasúchiles (marigolds) to honor loved ones, and a school-wide ofrenda created by Puertas. #orgullomundy
My heart sank a little when I heard it was International Dance Day because of the realization that due to the pandemic, we’ve had to cancel El Baile 2 years in a row. But I know we will return next year with more joy, spirit, and pride than ever before! #ElBaileparasiempre
This year, w/ the backdrop of COVID, BLM, & other educational & social justice issues, it seems like performative allyship & self-interest take precedence over courageous, inconvenient actions for the collective good. If we are going to see real change, we ALL need to step up.
So proud of my students for how above and beyond they went for our Random Acts of Holiday Kindness competition! Their reflections of how easy and enjoyable it is to show simple acts of kindness made it even sweeter! Love my students and their big hearts! #MundyPride
