Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This first year and maybe the next couple are, no doubt, going to be hard and frankly, suck. Having said that, you have an amazing administrator in you. As an admin, you have the ability for your sphere of influence to be so much bigger AND if you decide that’s not for you, that’s ok too. 040
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Mine are scheduled for next week too, along with a shingles shot. The flu got me early this year - I had it last week, but still getting that flu shot because there's more than one strain. I love science. 010

Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Admin make or break buildings. I love working for a principal who knows what she wants, isn’t afraid to say she doesn’t have all the answers, and works to empower teachers. I might have missed my midafternoon nap, but I’m so excited for the possibilities this year holds. 0130
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Anyway, now that I've started, I remember how much I love this series and I want to stay up all night to read it. What could go wrong? 150
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 03/08/2026On the day before school starts, naturally I decided today was the day I needed to start "Oathbound." I've been putting it off because I don't know when the last book is going to be published, but if I'm not done by the time school starts, there's a student who is going to be very angry with me. 130
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Right back at you, but let me be clear: One of the girls asked if I had any. I had to tell her that I had no idea what that was, but I'd be happy to get some if she told me what to buy. She took one look at the baby hairs flying away on my head and said, "You could use it too." 😂 050
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Seriously. Why would a bonnet matter? I keep combs, edge control, edge brushes, and a mirror in my office, just in case. Why do we make it hard for kids when making it easier is easy? 140
Reposted by Christine EspositoChanea Bond @heymrsbond.com · 26/07/2026I’m already exhausted by the respectability politics of this back to school season, specifically as it relates to dress code. Bonnets don’t stop kids from learning, and Black girls don’t need more policing in schools. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. 712915
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 22/07/2026As expected, July Espo is regretting many of May Espo's choices. The biggest one was not labeling the box with the scissors in it. 040
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 20/07/2026My room is in the newly renovated part of CMS. They’re not quite done with all the construction things so the AC isn’t on in that part of the building. 120
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Yes. Yes it should. It’s just a few classrooms in the old part of CMS/Buford. Everyone else has windows. 020
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 20/07/2026When your new classroom, in a new building, has no windows or AC, you find a great space in the lobby-ish area and sit down to work. 270
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 18/07/2026We're down to a 222 from a 288 yesterday. It's supposed to rain later, so I have hope. 010
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 14/07/2026You sound so much like my current principal. When she was moved from our elementary school, I told her I’d go with her without even knowing what level/building she was going to. There are admin who never lose sight of what’s important. I am confident you will be excel at being one of them. 020

Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 27/05/2026This is it. Last day of school. I've taught here for 18 years and today is the last day it will exist in its current form. Two days of packing up all the things that go with being an upper elementary school and next week it begins its next chapter as an early learning center. It's been a great run. 1140
Christine Esposito @msespo.bsky.social · 25/05/2026It is tragic that an educational book published in 2026 to address secondary reading issues needs to devote space to say that learning styles are a myth. 050
