Can I just tell you how much I love Breakouts? Watching these Ss in @ApacheJohnson1’s 1st grade, work hard on their math and language skills was exciting! They proved they were ready for second grade! #teamwork#showwhatyouknow
Today’s 1st grade problem solving activity: How do we fit all 21 students into this tiny triangle. After a lot of student led leadership, collaboration, reconfiguration and brainstorming, WE DID IT!!!! @ApacheIS512
All schools and offices in the Shawnee Mission School District are closed on Wednesday, January 23, 2019 due to inclement weather. Only essential SMSD personnel need to report to work on January 23.

So proud of the growth and hard work these 1st graders put in this semester. We showed over 207 (stars) points of growth in reading & 194 (stars) points! They couldn't wait to put their stars on our posters but the best was hearing them cheer on each other as they placed them!!!
We had a great time celebrating with Thanksgiving activities throughout the day. I loved seeing all the teamwork and creativity, but most of all, I loved reading about how thankful we are for each other. Enjoy the much deserved break, 1J!!! @ApacheIS512
Hey Eagles!! Check it out: Mrs. Fuller wants you to read at home SO MUCH that she is donating two chiefs tickets to the @ApacheIS512 reader who logs the most minutes in November!!! Read, read, read - then go to the Raiders vs. Chiefs on 12/30! Winner announced on 12/17!
@agraham_andrea@brpumphrey@ApacheIS512@theSMSD We are having community helpers come in over a series of 3 days. Ss will do a research/writing project over the community helper they choose, a self portrait, make a tool the community helper uses and then do a green screen video that they will present during our wax museum!
What a way to kick off our community helper PBL unit. We loved having our special guest come and tell us about what they do to help our community! @ApacheIS512@theSMSD
Learning isn’t incidental. The culture of a school isn’t accidental.
Each interaction between adults and students impacts both.
@ApacheJohnson1 led 1st graders through a simple but powerful routine of noticing and noting before phonics work. @ApacheIS512 teachers rock!
Eating lunch with First grade - love these kids! @ApacheJohnson1 you are a rock star and you make your kids feel like stars too! #AllThrive@ApacheIS512
