No better way to start the school year than with lots of surprises - the band, Bernie, and Barner! Happy new school year, Greenmen Nation! @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH

Shout out to the one and only Mrs. Skeels for showing us how to use @magicschoolai rooms for students to use for writing feedback & more. Shout out to Mrs. Dorner for coming along & bringing her student teachers for bite-size PD this morning! @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrWarders

Reading Club is underway this morning - we are discussing our books, reading, and learning how to sketchnote the details of our books (which can carry over to other school subjects)! @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrsMcNally_LES @MrWarders

Round 2 of reading club started this morning! @MrsMcNally_LES and I used clues to reveal each of the 13 books we will read. Students then went to work forming groups and getting started. Greenmen Readers Rise! @MrsMcNally_LES @MrWarders @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH

The first session of Rise and Game club was underway bright & early this morning. Shout out to @MrsMcNally_LES for planning an amazing morning for these gamers. Happy to co-host with her! Thanks for the community support @AuroraSchoolsFo @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrWarders

Round 1 of Leighton’s reading club has wrapped up with our second morning of book battles! Congrats to all of these readers for showing up…reading…and having fun! Round 2 starts soon! @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrWarders @MrsMcNally_LES

This morning, we finished round 1 of Leighton’s reading club with our “Battle of the Books” competition. We loved learning and growing with these readers! Here is group 1! - group 2 comes tomorrow! @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrWarders @MrsMcNally_LES

These readers are back at it bright and early this first day back from break! Readers unite! Reading Club is back! @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrWarders

Thanks to Aurora City Schools for providing a January return-from-break treat for staff members. Looks like it was a hit! @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH

It’s always an honor to spend time with Ohio’s @GovMikeDeWine and First Lady @FranDeWine. This is my favorite event of the holiday season - the Governor’s holiday open house! Also, this is likely my last “official” engagement as 2025 (District 9) Ohio Teacher of the Year!

We had a fabulous 3rd grade "Leighton Day Parade" presided over by @ACSD_MH & @MrWarders with special guest @DrPMilcetich! Students learned the history and science behind the Macy's parade and then designed their own floats. #Thankful for this moment!

Thankful for our @auroraelemPTO for letting teachers pick out a very generous amount in books from the fall book fair. The Bindus/McNally kids have already swooped them all up and are reading away! @MrsMcNally_LES @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrWarders

We love learning about the city of Aurora’s earliest days with the one and only - Mr. Kudley! @MrWarders @DrPMilcetich @ACSD_MH @MrsMcNally_LES

I work with the best team anywhere! Jurassic Park - here we come!

Thank you @mrsmindynewell for the book recommendation for my ride home. What an inspiring read (aka listen). Thank you for being such an inspiration to me over this last year! Loved this book and can’t wait to share it! @JonGordon11

I’m taking part in the kick off to this year’s Teacher Leader Network. This morning, we are learning about Ohio’s priorities for education.
