Get up! Dust yourself off! Take some deep breaths and take the first step forward. Those who matter are by your side. You’ve got this!

Excited to be presenting on phonemic awareness at the Early Childhood Professionals’ Summit! It brings my heart joy when educators come together to support student learning and success!

Some days it is hard or even impossible… but ultimately it is up to us to seek it, nurture it, and grow it within ourselves.

I’m choosing joy. I’m not unrealistic about the future and its uncertainty…. I’m just choosing to focus on joy first. I want to bright light like this persistent little bloom defying the dark and dreary weather.
