Our Kinder ESL students performed a puppet show today. Some chose to talk about firefighters, policemen, teachers, and paramedics! We also saw their work with plants and soil. It was wonderful to see! Great job! #SummerStateMandated2021 @NisdBILESL @Espinoza4810 @VictorRaga1

Day 1 take aways from 2021 @TMEA virtual conference. “We don’t learn from experience, we learn from reflection on experience” -John Dewey. Make sure your students feel a sense of belonging-use gray scale emojis and different composers. Many amazing things for music and SEL! ❤️

Can’t believe our wonderful art teacher for my entire teaching career-Lisa Fuentes @artduck_fuentes is retiring today. It’s been a blast and @NISDCNE will not be the same! Let the relaxation begin! Thank you for everything and for all your work with @NISD_FineArts. Best wishes!
