This first grader wrote a letter to her future self as a way to reflect on the times we are living through. Thank you @garrisondcps for giving this and all your students the place and space to use their voices.

Spent my morning with these amazing kindergarten writers and readers in DC, and felt about a million miles away from impeachment. Some days (ok, most), I love my job. 🙏
We celebrated our Unit 2 writing on Friday with toasts, gallery walks, debates, and by reading aloud to our families and classmates! #writingworkshop #TCRWP @TCRWP @dcpublicschools
Kinder Show & Tell authors are creating patterns from their labels. “I like my house.” “I love my couch and my TV.” Check out how we use first sounds to bravely spell! Check out our flaps! #tcrwp @TCRWP #ShowandTell #writingworkshop @lizziehetzer @mcmounteer @garrisondcps
Thanks for visiting @garrisondcps Chancellor Ferebee! Great to have you join an ELA data meeting. @dcpublicschools @RelayGSE – at Washington, DC

I shadowed a 2-5th grade ELA LEAP meeting at @garrisondcps this morning as our educators were analyzing student data to coordinate small group instruction. LEAP supports the growth of our educators, so that they can set all learners up for success.
