I get on twitter in the summer basically just to read what @lesahaney has to say. Lesa is such a great educator, advocate, and thought leader during all of the unknowns with covid. Miss you sweet friend!
Tonight is the final Multicultural Game night! Join us on the zoom at 6 to learn watermelon chess and hear the lesson on China taught by this awesome RSE 2nd grader. Supplies needed: cardboard, marker, two sets of six counters #iamdsisd#RiSEtogether2019#sycamoreyr3
REMINDER: RSE/SSE Rising 6th grade lunch bunch today at 11 and RSE/SSE 4th grade lunch bunch today at 12! Come get to know your fellow GT students from another campus! #iamdsisd#sycamoreyr3#RiSE2019
What creative writing projects have your students been completing during distance learning? Here’s one we did called “Not a Paperclip”! If your student wants more, check out “Its Birthday Party” on the ELA option sent out two weeks ago. #iamdsisd#sycamoreyr3#RiSEtogether2019
Time for another GT RSE/SSE combined lunch bunch! 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders, join the 11 zoom to get to know GT students from another campus! #iamdsisd#RiSEtogether2019#sycamoreyr3
Students are completely obsessed with word ladders. I loved seeing who could come up with the most variations to get from the beginning to ending word. Can your student find at least one way to solve this new word ladder? #iamdsisd#RiSEtogether2019#sycamoreyr3
Before signing up for classes, GT 6th graders came to talk to us about what to expect in middle school. Does your student still have questions about GT/middle school? We will be having our second GT Rising 6th grader meet up on May 1st! #iamdsisd#sycamoreyr3#RiSEtogether2019
Thinking back on the fun spelling bee DSISD hosted where the winners from all elementary and middle schools competed. This amazing 2nd grader was the must humble winner beating a strong middle school student! Such a proud teacher moment! #iamdsisd#RiSEtogether2019
4th graders grappled with the question: Who am I? They brainstormed characteristics, responsibilities and roles that make them each unique. Students traced pictures of themselves as a template and then layered their attribute list on top. #iamdsisd#sycamoreyr3#RiSEtogether2019
When the 4th graders heard that 5th got a zoom meeting to get to know one another, they scheduled one for themselves too 😂 Love these sweet friends, and can’t wait to see them at 12 for the RSE/SSE 4th grade GT lunch bunch meet up. #iamdsisd#RiSEtogether2019#sycamoreyr3
Rising 6th grade GT lunch bunch today at 11! Can’t wait for both SSE/RSE 5th grade students to come together and talk about middle school! #iamdsisd#RiSEtogether#sycamoreyr3
Today we start Multicultural Math Monday! All RSE/SSE GT students are welcome to join the zoom at 6pm tonight where we will learn a “three in a row” style logic game from Kenya. Check your email on what supplies to bring! #iamdsisd#RiSEtogether2019#sycamoreyr3

A common question students asked during their (optional) one on one conferences this past week was about Smart 60. We will wrap them up and present whenever we go back to school! Here is a glimpse at some aspects of their projects! #iamdsisd#sycamoreyr3#RiSEtogether2019
