Remember our purpose. We serve the students. Not just the physical one in front of us today, but the social, emotional, and intellectual one fifteen years from now.

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

Life is all about second chances and that needs to include affording students the opportunity to retake a test from time to time. It’s a great way to establish trust with your students as well as placing greater emphasis on the acquisition of new knowledge and skills.

A More Efficient and Productive Way to Conduct Math Assessments https://t.co/KBm4yEIpxW

For several years I have been advocating for the less is more" approach to mathematics at the elementary level. This article is a great illustration of this. Happy Teaching!

Take Care of Yourself.
Don't forget to take care of yourself during this busy time. Make sure to prioritize self-care activities and manage your stress levels so you can finish the school year strong. You got this!

Want more engagement and growth from your students? Give this a try- use more-frequent, low-stakes, formative assessments throughout a unit to gauge understanding and fix learning problems in real time.

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

Be Present
We have busy lives, and our minds are often racing toward the next thing that has to get done (this is something I am frequently guilty of). Make the person in front of you (student, parent, or staff) at that very moment, the only priority.

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

Great teachers reflect/re-access. Try writing a new teacher philosophy at the midpoint of each year. It helps to internalize the highs, lows, & challenges of your year & realign your priorities according to the evolving needs of your students.
Happy Teaching!

Please considering supporting this extremely important cause. Ayden has a joy and spirit like no other. Many thanks to the Bordentown Township and Bordentown City Police Departments for championing this cause.

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

PMES was so fortunate to be visited during our Week of Respect by Stone Hands and his message about being a H.E.R.O. couldn’t have meshed better with our PBSIS initiative. Thank you to our amazing PTA for making this event happen. @omegamanschools

Great read & reminder as we gear up for the school year!

Why I Keep Teaching https://t.co/026rcZLF82

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

It’s not always the kid that fails school, sometimes it’s the school that fails the kids. We all have our own path. We all find our inspiration from a different corner of the room. As we start to plan our year, try to remember that.

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

Please see attached Go Fund Me for a 4th grade student at PMES.   We can always count on Ayden for a bright smile and back-cracking hug every day.   If you can help in any way, it would be appreciated.  Please keep Ayden and his family in your prayers.

Today as we were dismissing school, a student yelled out, “Bye Mr. Pascal, I love you.” And that is why we in education, do what we do. To make a difference, even if it’s only one child at a time. So happy to have found a place where I can be part of this mission. BRSD.

Ms. Benson and our amazing chorus performing at Trenton Thunder tonight. They were so good!

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

Ms. Albanese’s class is all about the March Madness and we can’t wait to learn which book will become the tournament champion!

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

1 of the phrases, I love to hear as an admin, & one I frequently used as a teacher was “intellectual risk-taking”. In order for students to become risk-takers, we have to be willing to share our own struggles as students. Be sure 2+ "Thank you for trying something new!"

[Mr. Jason Pascal @MrJasonPascal]

Ms. Benson's music students had a chance to Zoom with composer Tom Shelton, to discuss their performance of his original piece "Animal Imagination". Another example of the rich learning experiences that happen here at PMES.
