Lead by example. Remembering the statement: “There’s a lot I don’t know about my student”, is powerful. #assumebestintent #thewholechild

1st grade fun! Always enjoy reading ⁦@AmeDyckman⁩ books like Misunderstood Shark! Then we explored sharks with PebbleGo. Discovered the author used real shark facts to write her fiction book. Cool! ⁦@OLE_Leopards⁩ ⁦@Grafs_spots_1st⁩ #LeopardLearners

Be compassionate 💜
When a student isn’t doing work, we as teachers try to solve the problem by asking a question like, “Why aren’t you doing anything?” Instead, by asking, “Is everything okay?”, You lead with compassion instead of accusation.

Put yourself in the place of three types of students: the student who you know will take time to complete work, the student who gets things done at an average pace, and the student who is a fast finisher. #OLEGroundUp

We had fun finding digraphs and blends in phonics this week!

God has entrusted us with gifts and talents. Don’t take it lightly. Don’t live passively, just accepting what life brings your way. Shake off the complacency and get focused.
