Great day at Discovery with our Kindergarten orientation for over 30 incoming families! It was a true joy seeing all the excitement and wonder in the eyes of our future students!

I love this story I saw on social media. This is a principal sitting on the floor with a student who simply needed breakfast and a hug. Educators are some of the kindest, caring, loving, and amazing human beings on earth! We need more of them! and every parent should thank them for all they do!

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

Thank you, Mrs. Teets class, for inviting me to your Friendsgiving Celebration today! I enjoyed seeing good friends and playing such fun games with you!

Our Cafeteria Monitor, Mrs. Brown always lets one or two of my kids help clean up our table each day and her waitlist for the job is longggg… just look at the smiles for proof! @Discovery_elem

As a new week dawns, here are some helpful daily reminders…

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

Thank you for allowing everyone to be heard and for valuing all thinking💜

[April Lowe @MrsALowe2]

We love starting math off with our number talks because it lets us see ALL the different ways you can solve a problem. Number talks also lets us become mathematicians and explain our thinking of how we got to the solution. This is so fun to see! 😁 @Discovery_elem

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

Love the multi-sensory activity for your math geniuses!😊

[Mrs. Hornauer @MrsHornauer]

These amazing 5th graders know their composite number rules! They are so ready for their first math test of the year tomorrow! @Discovery_elem #mathgeniuses

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

Thank you for engaging our Trailblazers in such important work that will set them up for success in life! 😊💜

[Miss Madison Elsbernd @ElsberndMs]

First lessons of the year… the kids keep impressing me with their growth from last year 🥲 so proud!!

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

I love that our Trailblazers feel like they have a voice and that they have such incredibly supportive teachers who validate this each day!

[Nicole Bailey @mrsbailey5th]

This student wrote to @POTUS about the environment in @Ms_Swanson_DIS’s class last year and received a response today! So cool & such a great message to these kids that their voice matters! @Discovery_elem

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

Incredible artwork and a fantastic art teacher who helps students like no other find value in all their work. 😊 Thank you @heidi4art!

[Laura Neff @MrsNeff5th]

These 5th graders loved seeing their artwork displayed in the hall! Thanks @heidi4art for coming up with this amazing idea to showcase their work! @Discovery_elem

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

It’s never too late to be intentional.

[edutopia @edutopia]

Being very intentional about routines—and giving students a chance to practice them authentically—can set the stage for a fun and functional classroom all year. 🤩

[Deborah Ragan @AP_Ragan]

Impressive, 5th graders! Better than any store bought posters…love the student voice you’re promoting, Miss Atkinson!

[Mrs. Hornauer @MrsHornauer]

When I was setting up my classroom, I knew I wanted to create an affirmation wall. After I found out how much my students loved technology, I figured my intelligent 5th graders could come up with something more beautiful. I am so proud of my students and their inspiring words. 💜
