I love Book Character Day because it’s a chance for me to share titles my kiddos haven’t yet discovered. Inspired by @colbysharp, we read the first 3 chapters of Holes, and I sent 12 students home with a copy for Spring Break! #growingreaders #GMSDinFocus

All it takes is a drive on the backroads to remind me why I love Tennessee so much. Then our legislators continue to make decisions that make no sense, aren’t supported by their constituents, & often make our state a less accepting and less safe place to live. It’s disappointing.
Honored to accompany Rogersville City School’s girls’ Class A basketball state champions as they were honored by the TN Legislature on the House floor today. I was also honored by Rep. Gary Hicks and Sen. Jon Lundberg for being the #NTOY24. I’m proud to teach in a public school!
Please follow the great @Missytesterman! ❤️

I was so honored to be inducted into the UTK Educators Hall of Honor tonight in Knoxville. Bob Kesling was a great emcee, and meeting legendary running back Leroy Thompson was an added bonus. Thanks to Dr. David Cihak for nominating me for this honor.
How great is this for TN! We are so proud to have this excellent TN educator representing all teachers! Congratulations @Missytesterman and Rogersville City Schools!

We are thrilled to announce East TN assistant principal, Abbey Kidwell, from Clinton Elementary School in Clinton City Schools has received the 2024 @Milken Educator Award, otherwise known as the "Oscars of Teaching." Congratulations! tn.gov/education/news…
On Saturdays (once a month), we focus on STEM learning! The kids had a blast learning from experts and participating in a fun challenge. Thank you Memphis, Light, Gas, and Water for your support! @MLGW
We got a new student - a newcomer who speaks no English. We read the book “Gibberish” (highly recommend!) & talked about how we could welcome her to our class. My kids made her cards ♥️ & built a welcome message before her arrival. So proud to be their teacher. #chapelhillchamps
One of my favorite events of the year! I love how STEAM equips kids with habits and skills they need to succeed in the world- skills they used as they persisted through engineering design challenges and presented their projects to our community! #STEAMeducation @theTSIN
Future engineers, negotiators, inventors, teachers, architects…the possibilities are endless. Great STEAM in the City! 💪 💡 @TNedu
I am proud of Representative Gary Hicks for introducing this bill that will provide pathways for promotion for thousands of TN 4th grade students. Additionally, this bill will allow students to receive support to continue making academic progress.

The Teacher Advisory Council members are remarkable educators who provide insight from across the state and include various grades and content areas. They want the best for teachers, students, and anyone who cares about education in TN. Bravo to them all!
