Something I will forever love about teaching 1st grade is the constant excitement over the seemingly smallest things - making shadows, getting to explore a flashlight, candy hearts, valentines…just so much joy 💚 pausing to remember what it’s like to see life through their eyes!

Hoping my first graders are having a safe, warm, & fun snow day! I can’t wait to hear about your day 🤗💙 and what you think I might be up to on this snowy day… ⛄️🛷 #NoviPride
