When we published a video about a powerful student-centered model of blended learning at a high school in DC a few years ago, one question that we got the most was: "Does it work for elementary?" Well, see for yourself! @modernclassproj

There may be things wrong with education, but the amazing teachers, staff, and admin in our schools, are one thing right with education.

I love implementing RULER in my classroom! ❤️💙💛💚

To help young learners understand their emotions, give them different ways to express how they feel.

A glimpse into our Mind Gym time. We love working our brains to make them stronger!! During this time, students get to choose what they work on @TISDGOES #agency #kindergarten #GOseastheday🐯🖤💛

The GRANDest OAKS were once the littlest acorns. 🌳

Students represented numbers, added within 20, added and subtracted with regrouping, and multiplied to create acorns for our new fall display. @TISDGOES

Dissecting owl pellets was a huge hit with our kinder tigers! Shout out to @mscqualls for the idea! Also, huge thanks to @mcreynoldssteph for coming to help!! Our tigers practiced their life principle of cooperation dissecting in groups! @TISDGOES #rockyourschool

[Ana Paez @PaezMrs]

We also used our chem lights to find numbers in 10 frames around the room! Students got to choose how to represent the numbers they found. Differentiation doesn’t always have to be more prep on the teacher!! @TISDGOES #GOseastheday🐯🖤💛 #rockyourschool

We had a blast using our chem lights to learn about nocturnal animals this week!! @TISDGOES #rockyourschool #GOseastheday🐯🖤💛

"Principal Niesa Glenewinkel at @TISDGOES is a magnet of positive energy! She leads with humility, grace, & wisdom on a daily basis! She loves the students like they are all her own children! I’m grateful to have her as my Principal and as my daughter’s first Principal!" - Staff

You can’t have a testimony without a test.

You’re strong enough to overcome whatever you’re going through right now, just endure. 🙏🏾

[Amber Naylor @AmberNaylor11]

Many students lag in communication skills, behavior is how their needs are expressed.

Connection and relationships are crucial for our students. We all perform better for those we feel care about us. #DestinationExcellence

[Emmanuel Acho @EmmanuelAcho]

Don’t let anybody or anything steal your joy today.

It’s my favorite time of year!!! BOOK FAIR! @GOESLibrarian @TISDGOES #GOseastheday🐯🖤💛 #Kindergarten

[Ana Paez @PaezMrs]

I asked the same questions @MeredithHolmes asked yesterday & look at what happened!! She helped me give a voice to EVERY student. Trust me, I haven’t taught addition or subtraction…. That’s what our kindergarten students already know!!! @TISDGOES #feedbackmatters #GOseastheday
