Our 5th grade science teacher has done such an amazing job preparing this beautiful space for our students- chances to observe nature, write poetry, and learn in the great outdoors. ⬇️

Students who set their own goals and get regular feedback on progress have higher levels of achievement in general, beyond only the goals they set (Hattie, 2009; Henderlong, et al., 2007). Here is a student goal setting sheet. Feel free to use. #LeadInclusion #education #edchat

To belong is to matter. A sense of belonging is closely correlated with feelings of meaning in life. @KGarzaBFK shares research on the science of belonging at the Spring Supt Summit. #BFKSummit

The Snobowl was quite a success! Proud that our students were able to contribute with their line of snow people that welcomed the community to the event. #buildingcommunity #getinvolved #studentengagement

Great editorial by @ACTOY2019 “One of the many reasons why I #LoveTeaching in Caribou is because our community has always served as lightkeepers.”- Kim Barnes

💥 I subbed in 5th grade today. The first thing we did was co-create success criteria for our time together. I entered our agreed criteria into a single point rubric. We filled in Concerns and Highlights throughout the day. It worked well. I'll be using this strategy again!

[Carol Ann Tomlinson @cat3y]

I think about this often because I think it reflects our knowledge of quality curriculum and I see it in classrooms so seldom…

[Brené Brown @BreneBrown]

I love this line from @EmmanuelAcho’s new book. All of us are a little untethered right now, which means a lot of projecting our own fears and anxieties onto other people. Sometimes, if we get really quiet—quiet enough to hear ourselves—we realize we know. https://t.co/XIrIv11FXk

📷 Denise and Alan Michaud of Saint Agathe were enjoying their morning coffee when this happened! A mommy Canadian Lynx and her four babies crossed their front yard. Wild Maine is beautiful!
