Your Attitude is Your Life
"The only difference between a good day and bad day is your attitude."--Dennis S. Brown
Answers are sometimes more important than Questions
I found this on Twitter the other day and had to share. We will be focusing on questioning, wait time, and randomizer(s) next semester with learning walks and PLCs. It really is a great quote.
Feedback/Group Strategy
Ms. Hickman uses this group pairing strategy to get feedback and ask small group questioning. Neat idea!
Exit Ticket with Sentence Stems
What a great way to provide sentence stems for our students! Way to go Ms. Hickman.
Winter Wonderland
Our Holiday Hullabaloo was fun! We enjoyed making things for you. I hope you liked it. Shout out to Ms. Flores, Ms. Smith, Ms. McMillan, Ms. Galan, Ms. McCauley, Ms. Bonsal, Ms. Cardenas, Ms. Blair, and Mr. Gentry.
"Breakfast in Bed"
The PJs I saw were cute. I think mine are a little tighter today!
Bonding with Staff
The brave 5th grade team sat on the floor to eat their breakfast. We are a community here!
