In all seriousness, this was such a meaningful class writing activity with a real purpose behind it. Moments like this remind me just how lucky I am to work alongside so many talented, inspiring teachers and administrators every day 💛

Shouting out our amazing AP, @LindenAPHCSD, for Assistant Principal’s Week! She’s *all in for kids*—dependable, trustworthy, loyal, organized, and always leading with heart.
Today she played Uno with some Linden Leopards who cashed in their dojo points! #WeBelieve @Hamilton_LN

📚💙March Book Madness @Hamilton_LN was a hit! OUR winner: I Do Not Eat Children by @MarcusCutler; a hilarious tale of a monster chef with very suspicious menu items had our readers hooked! Thank you @MarcusCutler for your playful storytelling and vibrant artwork. @Hamilton_Instr

3rd graders @Hamilton_LN had the opportunity to go see “A Pirate-y Peter Pan” at the Fitton Center today! Afterwards, they worked hard at making connections between the play, book, and movie. We are so proud of their hard work in this @ELeducation module! @Hamilton_Instr

[Mrs. Cook @MrsCookHCSD]

Year 1 Resident Educators @Hamilton_LN completed their 2nd task-Formative & Summative Assessments today, acing a matching activity. Research by John Hattie says formative assessment can double student learning speed by enabling real-time instructional adjustments. @Hamilton_Instr

[Mrs. Cook @MrsCookHCSD]

This morning’s math vertical conversations were “relay” fantastic! @MrsDShadrach led an insightful session on math standards across grade levels. It included a lively team challenge, a deep dive into OST released questions, and powerful conversations! #OneLinden @Hamilton_Instr

[Mrs Mangoff @TeachThemMissM]

These fourth graders are amazing! Using RACES (restate, answer, cite,explain, summarize) when we are preparing for class discussions! Today we did a close read in ROAR block on Daughters of the American Revolution&how they helped the war in ways other than fighting! @Hamilton_LN

[Debbie Shadrach @MrsDShadrach]

Vertical conversations were on fire this morning! ⁦@MrsCookHCSD⁩ led an engaging and impactful PD looking at ELA standards across grade levels. We even had a fun relay race and dove into OST released questions for deeper analysis. #OneLinden ⁦@Hamilton_Instr⁩

[Brandi Hazelwood @LNPrincipalHCSD]

Check out what is happening @Hamilton_LN We are so thankful to be participating in @AdoptAClass ! The impact of positive mentorship is contagious! @Hamilton_CSD

[Mrs. Cook @MrsCookHCSD]

The Instructional Committee @Hamilton_LN met to dive into feedback strategies from Anita Archer's Explicit Instruction. Great ideas and conversations with an amazing team of leaders! @Hamilton_Instr @Hamilton_EleIns #HamiltonCanHamiltonWill

[Brandi Hazelwood @LNPrincipalHCSD]

Ss in @TeachThemMissM class get to choose how they demonstrate their knowledge and understanding on their mid mod assessment. Ss can choose to create a poster, Slides, or Collage. They utilize a rubric to reference their work and include all requirements! @Hamilton_LN 🐆💙

[Mrs Mangoff @TeachThemMissM]

Students taking ownership of their assessments: choosing to show the differences between Patriots and Loyalists in the form of a sort, a collage, or a poster. Then we will self assess and share with classmates to demonstrate our understanding! @Hamilton_LN

[Mrs. Cook @MrsCookHCSD]

The paleontologists in @SHardewig’s class put their learning to the test with a hands-on fossil dig, uncovering their own discoveries after studying the EL fossil module. It was a fun and successful extension of their hard work! @Hamilton_LN @Hamilton_Instr @Hamilton_EleIns

[Mrs. Cook @MrsCookHCSD]

These leopards cashed in their Dojo points for the 💫 top prize 💫 at our ROAR Store - Principal for a Day! Love this incentive and watching these little leaders shine! @Hamilton_LN @LindenAPHCSD #HamiltonCanHamiltonWill

[Mrs Mangoff @TeachThemMissM]
