September in kindergarten is one heck of a ride! So thankful it's October not only for cooler weather, but routines and consistency is paying off now. So glad you got to get away! Cheers to spirit week!

For LETRS I would meet up with others and complete the work and assessments together online. It helped a lot. Also, the answers for all of the tests are online. We didn’t have to do the case study.

[@alb8539]

My district started Letrs 3 years ago. We pushed hard year 1 through the 1st book which is intense and full of info. When we got to the 2nd book the district realized they needed to slow down a little and spread it over 2 years. It definitely gets easier when it moves into more of the practical knowledge that you use with the kids so hang in there!

[@readsandeats2263]

You have a lot going on. So glad you had a lovely personal day. Just take all your training and Masters study one day at a time. Maybe try planning what you want to achieve with each one a week at a time

[@beingmalachi]

I’m so glad your enjoying this year! 🔥🤍✨

[@nuviamar1]

Thanks🎉🎉🎉 we always support ypu. I understand is a hectic school year. I appreciate yoy for your enthusiasm and dedication as a teacher and dedicating time to learn Spanish. ❤🎉

[@mzzzzzzday]

I wish my district paid for us to get letrs training! or if the state paid. I had to crowd fund training for myself!

[@andreakidd7900]

Kim😊 I am also currently doing my LETRS training. I feel like I am in the same boat trying to stay on top of it all. In addition to that I took on a new role as the ESL coordinator/teacher at my school so I am also doing classes to get my ESL endorsement on my standard certificate. Please share any tips you have I would also love to know how you and others are finding ways to manage it all.

[@marisolmartin1329]

Happy fall

[@JesseB38]

I am also doing letrs training for Unit 1. Are you on Unit 1 or 2?

[@mariacortez7050]

Where are your biker shorts from?

[@ElementaryInTheMitten]

Aerie!

[@djthereplay]

Hi Kim !, Have you ever had any of your students tell you that you look good in your outfit(s) or try to ask you to come out and play with them at recess? - Dwight

[@teresafavors9148]

I don't see how you can teach with no air. Is this district wide? It's a shame that your school subject you to this. I could not do it.

[@jesusiskingofmyheart]

Agreeeed !
