Hey there! Lucy here. Biliteracy Coach. Frantically scheduling my tweets on #tweetdeck so I can enjoy some time with #lafamilia and watch my son"s volley ball game on FB live. #goduhawks#d100chat
A1 2018’s greatest challenge- losing my mom, my hero, my role model. My greatest accomplishment, using that challenge to redirect my focus on what truly matters, personally and professionally. Mom’s name was LUZ, it challenges me everyday to bring light wherever I go. #d100chat
A1: Greatest accomplishment might be $0 in overdue library fines!! I go for a haul of read alouds based on our monthly units 1-2x's a month, so this was huge! Realizing this was also a challenge... #D100chat
A1- My greatest accomplishment and challenge of 2018 was returning to work with 2 kids at home. Some days run more smoothly than others. Thank goodness for personal and professional villages keeping me afloat!! #d100chat
A1: Professionally, I feel my greatest accomplishment in 2018 (& challenge) was running MTSS @HiawathaSchool while @MrsKoza was on maternity leave! It resulted w/ strong relationships with coworkers and becoming more familiar with the process (and servicetracker!) #d100chat
A1: 2018’s greatest challenge—full time teaching, worked a 2nd job 5x a week, AND planned a wedding 👩🏼🏫👩🏼💼👰🏼
2018’s accomplishment—got through it all. 🦸🏼♀️ #d100chat
Greatest challenge- new city, new school, new grade, new position!!! Greatest accomplishment- leaving a Trauma Informed program in Charltotesville that I was proud of and that I could take countless learning experiences from to any new position #d100chat
A1: My biggest accomplishment and challenge were the same thing: re-entering the role of classroom teacher after a 3-year stint as a coach at UIC. Best. Decision. Ever. :) #d100chat
A1: My greatest challenge this year was keeping my head straight! Sometimes personal & professional stress come to a head and life gets tough! I’m still standing so I am putting that in the WIN column! #d100chat#teampershing
Q1: my greatest accomplishment and challenge of 2018 was saying goodbye to my students of two years, who so happened to be my first class. And moving out over winter break! #d100chat
A1: my greatest accomplishment this year, personally, was getting two kiddos off to school and daycare for the first time and they both love it! #d100chat
Q1 #d100chat My biggest challenge in 2018 was finding out I had a form of breast cancer and would need surgery. I'm all done with it now and better than ever! My @KomenskyLions family really helped me out. #grateful#KomenskyMatters
A1: I've reflected on the successes and challenges of 2018, and what I keep coming back to is how both have influenced my personal and professional growth. I've learned just as much, if not more, from the challenges and from the people I connected with this year. #d100chat
A1: My greatest accomplishment in 2018 was having my very FIRST classroom & building such special relationships with each of my students. #d100chat#d100insipres
A1: Professionally... greatest accomplishment was moving into new role as math coordinator... hmmm, maybe that’s my biggest challenge too? 😉 Good thing I love a challenge! #d100chat
A1: My greatest accomplishment is always My munchkin Sonny! Also, I am super excited about the leadership that my #teampershing shows day in and day out! #d100chat
A2 - Personally, one word - survival!
Professionally, improving the MTSS Drive to be more user friendly for our staff (and that @misscotereads doesn't get tired of me!)#d100Chat
A2: Success looks like making the best choices at the time for myself and those involved (both personally and professionally) and then being ok with the decisions I have made. #d100chat#hiawathapride
A2: Success in 2019 will be bringing BALANCE to my life! Work, family, friends, a healthy lifestyle, interests & travel are a few of the many things that I am looking to peacefully be able to manage without stress. #d100chat#hiawathapride#d100Inspires
#d100chat A1. So many accomplishments in 2018- (professionally) breaking ground on a $35 million dollar building project at the district I am School Board President - mentoring a new teacher @jungelsjuniors who has so much to give to @D100Piper - challenges- time
A2: I define success as balance. Being able to be my best self in all of my roles in and out of school requires it, and it happens when I set boundaries and prioritize self-care as highly as caring for others. Easier said than done! :) #d100chat
A2: Piper Success in 2019 will look like a place where people are happy and fulfilled. A teacher community where everyone is committed to one goal-our students. #d100chat
Q2 #d100chat Success in 2019 looks like a group of 4th graders going on to 5th grade ready and excited for their futures. Personally, success would look like me collecting new experiences. I've been pretty boring lately and I'm ready to shake things up! @KomenskyLions
A1: I'm still pondering my greatest challenge and success. But, I do have to say that the ones that are in the running fall into both categories. #d100chat
A2: Professionally CRT and Visible Learning is more present and deliberate in every classroom at Pershing. Personally, my family is happy and healthy & I focus a little bit more on me... might sound selfish but necessary! #d100chat
A2: In 2019 success for me is going to be watching my students grow academically, socially, and emotionally the rest of the year and be all prepared for first grade! #d100chat#hiawathapride
A2: Success in 2019: continued growth in district goals, more visits with staff and students, spending more quality time with family, finding better balance, completing my dissertation, being present in the moment....always #d100chat
A2: #d100chat
Personally: continue to learn how to parent a strong-willed 4-yr old & fearless 2-yr old... including reading lots to them & encouraging their curiosity about math #tmwyk
Professionally: continue to support teachers to become the math T they want to be! ❤️
A2: Success in 2019 will reflect a me that uses my time to its highest effectiveness. I hope to tackle things with an OHIO approach. “Only Handle It Once #d100chat
A2: Success in 2019 would be #investment. Invest in my students. Invest in my family and friends. Invest in myself—setting goals and taking steps day by day to get me there. #d100chat#hiawathaPride
oh, @SarahGamradt, probably the only way in which I have ever appreciated OHIO in a sentence. It usually is associated with THE STATE UNIVERSITY!!! Boo-hiss.#d100chat@KomenskyLions
In reply to
@SarahGamradt, @SarahGamradt, @KomenskyLions
A2. Success. Hmmmm. Personally, making better financial decisions and sticking to my photography course. Professional? Remembering to finish things on my to do list. My memory is an obstacle these days. :) #d100chat
A3 #D100chat: My #oneword2019 is family. Treat others, especially my class and Komensky family, like family. Even when it's tough because teaching Kindergarten is sometimes!!

Q3 #d100chat My one word is 'faith'. I need to have faith in myself - that I can do this thing called teaching, faith in my school to always try to do what's right and in the world to do more good than evil.
A2: Professionally CRT and Visible Learning is more present and deliberate in every classroom at Pershing. Personally, my family is happy and healthy & I focus a little bit more on me... might sound selfish but necessary! #d100chat
A1: Huge Team success this year was putting in our new playground-such a great community experience for all! Very grateful for everyone who was able to help support it! #d100Chat
I love your goal of being PRESENT. Something I need to work on myself. As teachers, we have so much on the 🧠 and we don’t always fully take in all that is in front of us at the very moment. Every bit of growth matters!#d100chat
A1) Accomplishments in 2018 - Being able to build a safe community in my classroom. - Having fun while teaching.

A3: my word is GRAPPLE... what does it mean for our Ss to grapple in our classrooms? What things am I grappling with? What does it mean to think deeply and grapple?? 🤔🤔🤔 #d100chat
A3: as peculiar as it sounds my one word is one! I thought about the book “the Power of One” and thought that it’s such a good point to focus on one thing at a time and to stay focused! #d100chat
A2) Profess - Seeing my students learn and grow in two languages. Seeing them be confident and proud of their Bilingualism. Personally - Being positive about my health and being resilient. Enjoying what I have and my family! Making sure ti make "Me" time. #d100chat#d100inspires
A3: My #oneword2019 is reflection. I feel as though I am a reflective person but I do not leave enough time to reflect regularly. I need to make sure I set aside time to REFLECT! #d100chat#teampershing
A4 #D100chat: Lately, my #edujoy comes from conversations with other Ts and my sister about the silly things we say to Ss each week. Latest: "Try your best to keep your tongue in your mouth until the story is over." You've gotta laugh!! #KomenskyMatters
A3) I have had the same word for a few years..it works for me..#Believe - in my self, that things can be done, being present in every moment and believing that it will be ok, to believe in people, believe that I can be a better person every day. #d100chat#d100inspires

Thank you! With 3 years of first grade under my belt, I am feeling more ready than ever to take on new challenges and explore different approaches in the classroom! #d100chat
