2nd graders focused and learning phonics skills. Ss using multiple ways to learn. @WaupunSchools

[Tara Jaeger @MrsTJaeger]

One way to learn about a classroom’s environment is to look at what is on the wall. The teachers in these two rooms value S voice sense of belonging, team growth and reflection. Great things happening @WaupunSchools

[Randy Swift @RandySwift9]

If you are still teaching “I do, we do, you do” you are successfully teaching mimicry in the math classroom, nothing more. We know better. We need to do better.#mtbos #elemmathchat

Reading letters from families explaining how they decided on a name for their child. Great way to build community among Ss @WaupunSchools

So much learning during choice time today in 4K. The Ss love the sensory table where they could use their imagination to create anything. I also enjoyed a lunch that was prepared by two friends who like salt on everything 😊 @WaupunSchools

[Tara Jaeger @MrsTJaeger]

Taking time in small group to work on foundational early literacy skills. @WaupunSchools is creating strong readers at an early age.

Teaching Kindergarteners the purpose of and how to use the classrm library @WaupunSchools Their joy and excitement for books was so fun to see and hear.

[Tara Jaeger @MrsTJaeger]

T modeling how to write the letter “q” & Ss showing perseverance w/ this more challenging letter. Way to go @WaupunSchools!

@WaupunSchools Amazing writing project for our Ss. “The Best Part of Me”. Loved pausing and reading these today. Made me smile!

[Tara Jaeger @MrsTJaeger]

@WaupunSchools Art Ss learning about form and value in Mrs. Senn’s class. Used drawing of 2D & 3D shapes to teach these techniques and vocabulary. Great cross over of math and art! All students were engaged.

[Tara Jaeger @MrsTJaeger]

Couldn’t agree with you more! @plugusin @WaupunSchools

[Tara Jaeger @MrsTJaeger]

Day 2 of AVMR 1 @WaupunSchools The debates, justifications, & collaboration is fun to watch. The activity is about different strategies & their level of sophistication. It’s my favorite activity from course 1! Thank you @Mrs_Liermann for leading this!
