Big change for me this year! After 20+ yrs in Mid School Math & STEAM I'll be at new school teaching 4th gr ELA. Any help to make this the cozy & safe learning space I have always had would be much appreciated #clearmylist #clearthelist #SupportAClassroom amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3G… – at Pittsburgh, PA

At @PghSchiller 1 way we are building #SelfEfficacy is through a #growthmindset and the Power of Yet! We had some help from @sesamestreet and @JanelleMonae @PPSnews @STEAMPrincipal – at Pittsburgh, PA

A few kids decided to share some holiday joy with the staff that makes @PghSchiller so amazing. And just like that I had 4 busy makers on our @dremel digilab laser cutter & @silhouetteam cameo. So proud of how they took what they learned to make people smile #makers #teacherlife – at Pittsburgh, PA
