Today I am meeting with the parents of my students from Riverside Elementary for the First Quarter Parent Teacher Conferences. I am so excited to remind my students about their Monster projects and inform parents about the NaNoWriMo project that we will be starting next week!
However, in order to meet with every parent possible conferences have been scheduled well into the evening with the last one being at 7:40 pm. With almost 50 students on my roster I cannot afford to miss out on this opportunity and I regretfully will not be able to make the TPS School Bard Candidate Forum at the YWCA. While it is very important to speak with voters about my platform I must also recognize the monumental responsibility I have to my students.
If you have any questions about my platform please feel free to send me a message or leave a comment!
Thank you to the YWCA for hosting this forum and good luck to the other candidates.
All the best,
Ruth Leonard
TPS Board of Education Candidate

Today my students realized that I do not play when it comes to my deadlines!!! They have been working on their first drafts for their Halloween essays and I told them that the final draft was due on Halloween and they were shocked!!! They have had 3 class periods to work on it, they are off tomorrow and Friday and peer edits start Monday so there are no excuses!!! I am so excited to read their essays!!! Plus, I got their editing warm ups all done for next week, they go through excerpts of formidable works of literature and correction the mistakes I created, next week they will edit Morrison, Fitzgerald, Hurston, Adiche and Michael Jackson!!! Oh and they are working on mastering adding intergers and they competed against each their for the gift of either knowledge or chocolate!!! They were so serious about winning!!! Today was a great day!!#LeonardForLearners #RuthForTPS #TPSProud

Today was my first day with my kids by myself and we learned about descriptive language. When I tell you I was all over the classroom describing the difference between telling someone you "made cupcakes" and describing cooking a cake on an episode of Ultimate Cupcakes!!! The kids were smiling, they had big eyes and they were so excited to do their writing prompts!!! Of course it was picture day so both classes didn't get the full lesson but there's always tomorrow!! #LeonardForLearners #RuthForTPS #TPSProud
