Learning isn’t done in this class just because ELA testing is! We’re practicing conversions with Pokémon Go today! I love seeing them use their math skills. 💜💜

Test prep escape room happening in 228 today! They are loving showing all of their knowledge and working with their teammates! @TweetDCS_HLIS#raisethebar
This is such an easy way for kids to get exposure to roots, prefixes, and suffixes. They literally go home at night and google words so they can put them on the board the next day. They look for them in the books they read. Also, there is some awesome vocab on this board! 🙌🏻
My Valentine’s Day: Pancake reward breakfast, DIY Escape Room, Silent Reading, cupcakes, and hugs. Being a teacher is what’s up.
(It wasn’t all good today, but there sure was a lot of good, and I’m focusing on it.)

Yesterday was so much fun! We celebrated awesome behavior with the Memphis Hustle, then practiced vocabulary and cursive. Writing on table tops=engaged kiddos. #raisethebar@TweetDCS_HLIS
One student began tracking his reading today on his own, another finished his first chapter book of the year, and another worked independently to complete a writing assignment. It might not seem big, but it was huge to us! #celebratingsmallthings#raisethebar
We had fun cooking breakfast for our staff this morning. Thank you to our EPC for your sponsorship! We love our staff a “waffle” lot at HLIS! #12daysofChristmas#RaisetheBar
So many awesome things all in one day: celebrating Christmas like they do in Mexico, practicing reading our picture books so we can read to 3rd graders Monday, collecting food for the food drive. My heart is so full. I love my kids and my job. ❤️🎅🏼🎉#raisethebar@TweetDCS_HLIS
5th Grade Spotlight students are stepping up as leaders. We’re prepping for the Hunger2Hope food drive beginning tomorrow! #5thgradersarethebesthraders#raisethebar
