Congratulations to Dr. Edna Varner, PI Residency Coach, who was awarded the 2022 Humanitarian of the Year at the Alton Park Development Corporation’s celebration of the newly renovated Piney Woods Elementary School Community Center. Edna grew up in the Alton Park housing project.
Today I’m celebrating a Day of Remembrance with my @HillsElem 4th graders. They think it’s double independent reading day, but as for me, I’m “remembering” that reading is mostly for fun - not test prep!
You know what they say -Work hard! Play hard! Write hard! Read hard! I love when 4th graders @HillsElem are so into their work that they don’t know I’m camera spying on them!
Not normally a fan of passing notes in class, but this made me smile. We’ve learned that ethical people consider the feelings of others. Just reading, “You are not a weridow.” Probably made someone feel much, much better! @HillsElem@ELeducation
@HillsElem 4th grade English teachers wish to thank the generous and thoughtful anonymous community member who sent our team a gift and a sweet card today #GiveWhereYouLive You made us feel supported and appreciated!
Still hate that we’re being forced to do this, but overwhelmed with appreciation for the volunteers helping teachers @HillsElem inventory their classroom libraries! Ann Ray, mom of our literacy coach, scanned in 353 books today. She lifted my mood!
Please take time to watch at least the beginning of the School Board Meeting tonight. I was so proud of the 5th graders from @HillsElem lead the entire room in a “Crew” exercise they use for community building at CHES. Great job @LindsayStarnes2 !!
4th graders at @HillsElem explore @eleducation Module 1 Research Reading texts. Using a Peruse and Choose protocol, each student then presented the reasons for their choices to the whole group. Leaders of their own learning! @CurriculumMatrs
@HustlinTigers Class of 2018 right here! Josh got his start in Ms. Banks’ cosmetology class and every time I see him these days he’s adding another celebrity client to his portfolio.
"Students were explaining their thinking, talking in small groups, presenting... They were able to solve the problems in multiple ways – not just the way the teacher taught it." @CarvajalHageman on @SeafordBluejays@IllustrateMath.

The words you speak into your students matter. Be sure you’re speaking GREATNESS at all times! Their current situations/circumstances do not define them nor dictate their future!!!!!!
@HillsElem we work had and play hard! Watching the enthusiasm and team work of my 4th graders in an epic Over Under Wet Sponge Relay was magical! Thanks Related Arts team for organizing the first field day they have had since 1st grade!
