Kicked off our WIN group today with the Baseball Practice @ExemplarsK12 and introduced this group of students to the three read protocol. They loved being the “eyes closed reteller.” There were so many strategies shared today! @FreyElementary @CobbMathDept

I spent time digging into the @ExemplarsK12 Ambassador courses yesterday and was amazed at the updates. Anchor charts, photos to share for see, think, wonder protocol, rubrics and possible solutions. Can’t wait to use Exemplars in my classroom this week.

Spending the day learning more about the reading brain + how to build skilled readers with @KatieBaggott3. @FreyElementary

[Megan Willis @WillisTeach]

Our longest paper chain challenge was a hit! The students learned the importance of planning before beginning a task, how limited resources can impact the challenge, and then we reflected on their strategies when the challenge ended. @FreyElementary

Third Grade - the best grade! @FreyElementary

Made the shift to desks for the first time. My students are thrilled to organize their desk drawer bucket and have their supplies ready. 📚

We’re kicking off 4th grade and year 13 at Frey! It’s been a busy week of sneak a peek, first days, getting to know each other, sorting supplies and learning indoor recess activities in a heat wave!

Frey was so excited to welcome back former students as guest readers for Read Across America week. Loved having @allatoona_hs and @DurhamLLC guests today! @ashermly 📖 📚

[Megan Willis @WillisTeach]

In honor of Read Across America Week, we dressed as our favorite Jory John book characters. We love using these books throughout the school year as anchor texts in 3rd grade. @ashermly @FreyElementary

@S_MBurnett Thanks! Hope you have a great year too!

[Megan Willis @WillisTeach]

I can’t wait to meet the @FreyElementary third graders who will spend the next 177 days with me. I’m excited to learn and grow together! Frey Flames, Shine Bright!

[Megan Willis @WillisTeach]

@forthekiddoes @DrRoberts96 @robertjmarzano Yes! He does! It was a great session. I’ll share the information with you in an email.

[Megan Willis @WillisTeach]

I enjoyed exploring strategies for deepening understanding with @DrRoberts96. So many of the strategies reminded me work from the gifted endorsement with @forthekiddoes. I can’t wait to implement them with my new kids!

Year 11 at Frey ✔️
This year was full of fun and learning but also some curveballs with Samuel having surgery in May. He and I are both so thankful for our Frey Family and can’t wait to be back at school together in the fall.

Math Jeopardy was a hit!

Congrats to my amazing co-teacher!
