Our 4th and 5th grade @Chimborazo_ES students loved our special visit from best selling author Dhonielle Clayton,Tuesday. The best part of this Chimbo Jaguar’s pic that you can’t see is the stack of 7 other books he brought with him from the library that he wanted to read. 🥹


Reason #1 to wear biker or slip shorts under your dress when working in elementary: Sometimes crying 1st graders like to use your dress as a handkerchief and expose your body to the world as you walk them to the bus 🚍 after school. 🤦🏽♀️ Today, I was prepared! 🤣🤣🤣
💙💙💙 The @Chimborazo_ES family is so proud of Kyshawn!!! He will always be a #ChimboJag
Highlight of my day was meeting Kyshawn, an MLK student who’s learning Braille. He taught me how to write A, B, and C. All means ALL.

I used to do this with plastic Easter eggs when I decided to try to teach my goddaughter how to read during our “extra time” at the start of the pandemic, but I like this even better. Great idea! @porterkm2 @mkavula01
