Our 5th graders working in breakout rooms to make inferences from a picture. Sentences stems helped start and guide their conversations @andersonfrisco @FisdB @friscoisd

Love learning ways to be more effective as a coach and build capacity @adrianmendozaed @FisdB @andersonfrisco @friscoisd

I love planning with our 5th grade team. They are always intentional when embedding sentence stems into daily lessons and truly believe in the value of modeling for our students.@FisdB @friscoisd @andersonfrisco

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

The kids love the randomizing wheel we used during our co-teaching time with Ms. Stock’s class. All the students were engaged and waiting to see who would be next. Love this easy 7 Steps strategy @Seidlitz_Ed @friscoisd @FisdB @andersonfrisco

Second grade is learning all about how to figure out the meaning of unknown words by using their context clues @FisdB @andersonfrisco @friscoisd

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Our first graders are learning to use clue in the text and their schema to make inferences. Love how they use sentences stems to support their learning @FisdB @andersonfrisco @friscoisd

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Co-teaching with Ms. Green’s class today was amazing. Our first grades were able to use text evidence to support their inferences. @andersonfrisco @friscoisd @FisdB

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Our third graders are creating Getting to Know Me slides to help write about themselves @FisdB @andersonfrisco @friscoisd

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Our 5th graders are hard at work identifying the authors purpose and using text evidence to support their reasoning. @andersonfrisco @FisdB @friscoisd

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

This year may look a little but our mission and the heart of what we do is still the same. So blessed to being part of @FisdB @friscoisd @andersonfrisco

Understanding that recent acute trauma from COVID could lead to chronic trauma is key in supporting our learners going forward #R10PowerofUnity @FisdB @Region10ESC @friscoisd

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

We need to understand our students have been through crisis schooling and prepare to support them going forward. #R10PowerofUnity @FisdB @friscoisd @Region10ESC

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Excited to finish the day out learning about ways to support my EL students impacted by trauma #R10PowerofUnity @FisdB @friscoisd @Region10ESC

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Ready to learn how to better serve the other half of our student population including our GT and EL students #R10PowerofUnity @Region10ESC @friscoisd @FisdB

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Every child must have access to both”window” and mirror” books. As educators we need to ensure classroom libraries and curriculum has a variety of both types of books. @FisdB @Region10ESC @friscoisd #R10PowerOfUnity

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Understanding testing issues and knowing the traits of gifted CLD students is important when identifying EL students as GT #R10PowerOfUnity @FisdB @friscoisd @Region10ESC

[Krista Gillen @AndersonElem_LC]

Excited to learn how to better serve out GT EL students @Region10ESC @FisdB @friscoisd
