VW please do not get rid of the manual transmission for GTI/R model cars. I enjoy driving my 2017 GTI Autobahn edition and want to get another one soon…..R class!! @VW @VWGroup #SaveTheManual

No Bull, I Voted!!

Here are the decorated Christian notecards with up lifting messages. Some students even added their own personal notes of encouragement on back!!!❤️RLS

Today 6th and 7th grades are doing a service project for “Meals-on-wheels.” We are decorating 75 bags and putting with them Christian notecards. They will fill them with toiletry items. These children are talented and amazing!! Resurrection Lutheran School Rocks!! Go Lions!!!

My 8th graders last project for the year. War of 1812 Murals. Going to miss these rising 9th graders that I am so proud of!!! It was a pleasure being your teacher this year!!! RSL Lions Rock!!!

I attended NCCAT this week for BTs. We learned about procedures, rules, and evidence based strategies for our classrooms. Teachers from all over this wonderful state came together to collaborate & learn from each other. Thank you Heather & Denis! ❤️#NCCAT #GCPSCommunity

Just finished “Using Song Lyric Analysis in ELA & SS Classrooms” by Anamarie Neville. I never thought of analyzing music as a way to boost literacy. Going to have to try that as long as I can get Jamboard to work!! #NCBTSummit21

Just finished a VERY GOOD BT session with “SEL in 5 Easy Steps for the BT” given by Meghan Chinn. A 1st year BT at that and obviously a very talented and intelligent woman!! Very informative and valuable session. #NCBTSummit21

Finished watching the live luncheon panelist talk about their experiences with blended learning. It’s refreshing to hear other’s having the same issues as you did through the different learning processes we all had with COVID-19. Thank you!! #NCBTSummit21

I have refreshed my NCDPI website and now found the hyper links are not there. However, if scroll to the bottom there are hyper links for each grade level. You can access the videos there. Keep on moving BTs!! #NCBTSummit21

I cannot get onto the YouTube 6-12k videos because there is a message from YouTube: “This account has been terminated for violating Google’s Terms of Service.” What do we do now? #NCBTSummit21

I am waiting for the opening remarks from Eugenia Floyd, but nothing! Is everything okay? #NCBTSummit21

Just so everyone knows, you can access the interactive notes by clicking on the YouTube portion of the description and clicking on the resource link, then make a copy of the Google Doc. I hope this helps someone else. #NCBTSummit21

Just finished “Enhancing Engagement through Digital Tools.” Wow what the plethora of online tools that can be in-person or remotely. I like the “Factile” online tool, as it resembles a Jeopardy Game! #NCBTSummit21

I have learned about Challenging Behaviors in the classroom & can relate to the “Four Functions of Behavior” and how to be “Proactive,” & having a Cultural Responsive Classroom with building positive relationships with students & being their Champion!#NCBTSummit21

Hey All! I am trying to watch a video on middle school “Challenging Behaviors” but cannot find this UNCP Team has a note taking guide on the slides. Has anyone found this and can direct me. Thanks! #NCBTSummit21

I will be attending the BT Summit this Wednesday and Thursday with my new puppy Gabriel!! ❤️🐶 #ngmsonthemove #NCBTSummit21

Yesterday as I was leaving my school were I teach 8th Grade Social Studies, the sky made me stop and see the beauty of Spring and the longer daylight!!!!! #GCPSchools @NCStateCED
