📣 Happy #MotivationalMonday everyone!
🔥 Let's start the week with this inspiring reminder from William Butler Yeats: "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." 🔥
We hope this quote inspires you to approach your learning with a passion and curiosity that ignites a lifelong love for education. 💕📚
🤔 Remember, every day is an opportunity to learn and grow, so let's make the most of it! 🌟
👀 🔍 Seeking out the best!
It’s what recruiters from McDonald County Schools are doing as current teachers are retiring and others are moving from the district. 🏫
The team recently gathered several top prospects from the Missouri Southern State University Education Career Fair. 🧑🏫👩🏫
It’s just part of a push by school leaders to attract educators who are passionate, dedicated, and motivated to make sure our students are provided with the highest quality education. 📚🏅
Here’s a look at a story by KODE/KSN TV highlighting McDonald County at the career fair: https://www.fourstateshomepage.com/mssu/learning-about-teaching-opportunities-at-the-education-career-fair/
Just another way McDonald County Schools make a difference in the lives of every child, every day, whatever it takes! ❤️🖤

🌨❄️ No snow? No problem! 👍
Even before this week’s snow, the students at Southwest City Early Childhood classes got creative with their winter learning! 📚
The students used shaving cream ☁️ to create a snowy sensory experience on their tables and practiced writing their names, shapes, numbers, and letters in the "snow."
Besides being a lot of fun, the activity:
❄️ Provides a unique sensory experience for the students, allowing them to explore and experiment with writing in a different way.
❄️ Helps improve their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
❄️ Can be a good way for students to practice writing in a fun, low-pressure environment before moving on to more traditional writing tools such as pencils and pens.
➕ Bonus: no cold hands or noses! 👃🥶
Just another way McDonald County Schools are making a difference in every child, every day, whatever it takes! ❤️🖤
