Day 1 of welcoming some amazing educators to the Sycamore Spring Family! District welcome, attendance zone tour, campus tour, and scavenger hunt...just an average day for these rockstars! (Photos from the scavenger hunt!) #sycaMOREyr6#iamDSISD
Kindergarten team is hard at work learning from their students' writing! Celebrating growth and making plans for even more growth! #sycaMOREyr5#PLCinDSISD#iamDSISD
Mr. L created a periodic table from his students’ element projects! Love how it turned out. The students love seeing their work on the wall too! 😃 @SycamoreSprgsMS#iamdsisd
Small group instruction is so important to balance with those amazing class discussions! Mrs. Lehde rocks it out with her reading skill group and notes to keep track of her students' growth. Intentionality + targeted skills = ALL students learn! #iamDSISD#sycaMOREyr5
Mrs. Evans's 2nd Grade partners work together on a series of problems all around the room, modeling their work on number lines, and explaining their thinking to teach others. Mrs. Evans checks in with the groups and poses questions to rev up thinking. #iamDSISD#sycaMOREyr5
2nd grade is all about the money! Finding the value of some October words means recognizing the coin, its value, and then using addition to find the sum! #iamDSISD#SycaMOREyr5#SSES2ndGrade
Pre-K Awesomeness! Name recognition, counting, data collection, community all-in-one. Mrs. Bernhard's class shared that data is information we can see. #SycaMOREyr5#SSES#PreKQuickCheck#iamDSISD
Professor and author Pam Harris spent time with DSISD fourth- and fifth-grade math teachers during their professional development day. Her presentation focused on developing mathematical reasoning and helping teachers build powerful numeracy in their classrooms. #DrivingSuccess
Fourth grade teachers! I've made @openmiddle Depth of Knowledge matrices to show how a single math problem can replace an entire worksheet in fourth grade. Download it now here: https://t.co/0Y1GKIuadH #MTBoS#iteachmath
Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month.
It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.
Winter and the pandemic may be wearing on us educators, so how to we see through to the other side of February? Now is a time for resilience in our selves and our classrooms. #resilientteachers#resilientstudents#pushthroughyourwall
