What a great first day of school! The kiddos loved exploring some of the things we have in our classroom! Great practice for building responsibility and teamwork! #Clarkdale#FunFirstDay
@_deemjay I don’t know a teacher who gets 7-8 hours of sleep. I’m with you on the 4-6 hours. Does taking long, deep breaths in the middle of class when I feel like I’m about to pull my hair out count as meditation? Lol
Today we reviewed counting syllables. I’m so mad I didn’t catch the whole thing, but these kiddos were singing a song I taught them to help them figure out how many syllables are in words. 😊#cobbearlylearning
Calling on the first student who raises a hand sends the message that speed is important when answering questions. We should pause and allow every student an opportunity to participate! #edchat
Heard this quote from Teacher Leader Training today. Had a big a-ha moment. To change school culture and increase student achievement, educators must continue to learn and evolve. Learning = Change #beadoer#beaproblemsolver#becourageous https://t.co/OFgsh4hPZz
Ss working together to understand, recognize, and analyze stick letters so they could make them with their bodies! Some great conversations were happening during this activity! #cobbearlyliteracy#ClarkdaleChampions

Teachers that stay comfortable don’t make many mistakes, but they usually don’t innovate either. If you want to be awesome, you have to take some risks.
Day 2 of our artist residency! Ss got to create a character from Frog and Toad using modeling clay! On Monday they get to paint them! #kickstARTcobb#ClarkdaleAI
Day 1 of our five day artist residency was a hit! Ss recreated an event from Frog and Toad after listening to the story and discussing the characters and setting! #KickstARTcobb#ClarkdaleAI
These kiddos really blew me away with their plant models! They were given the choice to use play doh or pattern blocks. My only I instructions: I want see plant parts and needs in your model. #KickstARTcobb#ClarkdaleAI#CreativeKinders
