These @WataugaSchools students spent all year alongside their classmates building Mabel Made. Yesterday, @GEARUP_NCWest hosted a Big Idea Pitch Competition. These two students placed first in the community based pitch category-so proud! @Mabel_SC @LauraqTurnerWCS @BooneNCChamber

Best 2 weeks! @WataugaSchools 9th graders had rich experiences that built new relationships & developed leadership capacity all while authentically engaging w/content-- Leadership Collaborative Camp was one of the most rewarding experiences I've had as an educator.#NCSummer2Excel

My daughter's love for @tate_teacher runs deep. Ms. Tate always goes over and beyond for her students. What an amazing celebration for @WataugaSchools students tonight at the @joneshouseboone! Ashley, you're the best of the best! I'm so thankful to work alongside you.

@LBmathemagician @MrVaudrey @CKalinecCraig I would love access to this. Can you please share?

[Sumer Williams @Sumer_Williams]

Look at all these model train speed comparison strategies. 😍 I love that @Desmos allows countless opportunities for @MabelSchool students to engage in discourse that highlights their thinking while also making connections to their classmates' methods.

[Sumer Williams @Sumer_Williams]

Digital Tracing Paper?? Okay @Desmos, I see you! 👀 This curriculum has been amazing...but this was exciting to experience as a teacher. Can't wait for my students to engage with this feature! Kudos! Only wish this had been more readily accessible during the main lessons. All ♥.

@jlwilliams314 @MsLyonsDen This totally made my day and is amazing news!! ❤️ I'm so glad we're getting you back! Many of our @WataugaSchools students just hit the math ed jackpot for August and don't even know it yet! Congratulations, friend!

[Sumer Williams @Sumer_Williams]

@Desmos consistently brings energy into my classroom that goes unmatched. Mathematical discourse and curiosity happen so organically. Your development team is amazing...talk about endless low floor, high ceiling opportunities. 😍 Needed to type it out because today was great!

[Sumer Williams @Sumer_Williams]

@WataugaSchools @EllingtonErinm @MabelSchool @PKYPatriots You are so deserving @EllingtonErinm. You continue to represent our district and @MabelSchool with professionalism, poise, and an unwavering dedication to our students. It is absolute honor to teach alongside you. Congratulations. ❤️

@theNCForum Hearing Dr. Flood speak during my time in @epfp_iel was one of the most pivotal and influential moments I've experienced as an educator. Thanks for sharing a snippet from such a fierce advocate for equity.

[Sumer Williams @Sumer_Williams]

Is this button new @Desmos? I cannot imagine teaching math virtually or F2F without @Desmos. IMO, it's hands down the most crucial resource for my classroom other than relationships. Happy Friday to me, that button is amazing regardless of how long it's been there. 😁

[Sumer Williams @Sumer_Williams]

Yes!! @Desmos did another thing. 😍 What an amazing way to start the weekend... @Desmos for another win! 🏆 I feel like I've said "game changer" every update you've given us lately. Keep those surprises coming!

[John Stevens @Jstevens009]

Uhhhhh @Desmos, did you just do a thing? I think you did a thing. And I like it. A lot.

[Sumer Williams @Sumer_Williams]

@ReubensBoone @MabelSchool @WataugaSchools @laurenpharkey I'm so excited to experience @WataugaSchools through the lens of my own child this year. ❤️❤️ Here's to kindergarten!
