Ms. Reynolds-Hugley’s first class of first graders at Pittsburgh Lincoln included a quiet six-year-old who helped the class understand the short “u” sound. During the lesson, Ms. Reynolds-Hugley introduced the Tugging Tugboat card from the Open Court Reading curriculum. Terrence surprised her by asking, “Do you mean like Usher?”, and he began singing and spelling Usher’s name. The entire class joined in.
“I was amazed at how this shy student led such a lively moment. It is no surprise that Terrence grew up to become a DJ, showing his early love for music.”
Terrence and his classmates made Ms. Reynolds-Hugley’s first year of teaching memorable and fun. Despite the challenges of a first-year teacher, their kindness and enthusiasm showed her that teaching could be enjoyable, shaping the teacher she is today and reminding her of the importance of joy and connection in the classroom.
