Excited to open the mail today! Thanks @TechNinjaTodd for this awesome giveaway. I cannot wait to read this book! #whenkidslead #kidsdeserveit
What an absolutely amazing day! I hopped in my car with my kids to make some special deliveries 🚚 today. I got to see a few of the sweetest 3rd graders I know (from a safe distance) My heart is so full. Even though we’re apart, we’re together in heart. #KissingsKiddos4Life ❤️
I love brave spelling. ❤️

She wrote a letter to her teachers at Jefferson School. 😊

Reality of “work-from-home” - My own kids have wanted to join in on my read alouds to my students. Unfortunately, my almost-2-year-old doesn’t have the attention span to sit that long 😂 after Marshal exited the camera shot, he decided to dig in the flower pots and “mud paint”.

A copy of my favorite book for each of my students while we’re apart. My heart aches with each one I’ve signed with love. Teaching is so much more than paper packet worksheets. I hope this book warms their hearts just like it does mine ❤️ #WednesdayThoughts #iteach3rd

We love our students and parents!!!!
Teachers in Marion and Crab Orchard are going the extra mile to make sure their students know how much they are missed. wsiltv.com/2020/03/31/local-…
Thank you, Joe Szynkowski, for letting me share what I love about teaching! It’s so hard to put my love for my work into words, but it was fun to try. ❤️❤️
Like many in our region, Michelle Kissing’s work world was upended with the temporary shuttering of public schools across Illinois due to the new coronavirus. But when you’ve planned on being a teacher your whole life, adaptability and ingenuity take… thesouthern.com/business/loc…
Can I just say, we have the most amazing neighbors?! ❤️ We went out for a walk today and found lots of bears and hearts! My kids were so excited and can’t wait to go walking again. 🐻❤️ #QuarantineActivities

This whole #SocialDistancing thing sucks. It’s been difficult to explain to my 5-year-old. Thank goodness for creative ways of interacting like walkie-talkies and #amazingneighbors who will join in on a “bear hunt” (though ours appears to be being held hostage 🤣)

I took my kids for a walk in the woods today. We found lots of great things! I challenge everyone to get out and look for something beautiful. 🌸 Things may be uncertain right now, but a little fresh air and a new perspective helps everything seem a little better.

Today’s challenge for my 3rd graders was to get outside and show me something fun they found-I took my own kids out morel hunting. I shared pictures with my class to see if they could research and find out what we found. (I know what they are 😉) Anyone else know what these are?
Reading aloud to my students is one of my favorite parts of my job. So thankful for today’s technology that allows me to continue reading to my students even while we’re apart. My own little lady helped me build a stand for my phone so we could record our read aloud together! ❤️
Figuring out how to stay connected with students during this school closure is a new challenge, but one that I’m up for! We’ve stayed connected through a class app and today I made a video asking them to send me a picture of themselves in their weather safe spot in their home.
Had my two little helpers with me at work tonight, getting ready for Pizza fun day tomorrow! #kissingskiddos #kissingskitchen #learningisfun #thirdgrade

It’s hatch day! Welcome to the world, little friends! We have 7 currently hatched and several more working on it. And a whole class of excited 3rd graders 😉❤️🐣 #kissingskiddos
