Not a better way to start a Monday! I kickedthe week off with an observation in Ms Bickelhaupt’s class. Student ownership of the learning process is the driving force in this room! @BuckhornCreekES #BuccaneerPride #WeAreCrew

[Dr. Daniel Simons @DrDanielSimons]

Great work Crew! You are making a difference!

[North Chatham Elementary School @north_chatham]

Fantastic instruction during our @ELeducation Learning Walk this morning. Our teachers and students have gotten off to a strong start in the first 30 days of implementation. 🖤💛

Document Panels are not just to highlight the learning process for students…they can also showcase staff learning! Our @BuckhornCreekES Crew has been busy growing this year! #BuccaneerPride #WeAreCrew

[Dr. Daniel Simons @DrDanielSimons]

I always love walking our school with new Crew. It is a great opportunity to learn through their lens and reflect on our practices. Looking forward to hearing about the impact of the work they are doing!

Today we welcomed teachers from @ChathamGroveES & @HerbertAkinsMS into our Crew! Observing @ELeducation in action & the equity moves that bring learning to life was our aim. #WeAreCrew #BuccaneerPride @WCPSSLiteracy @ChathamCoSch

As a principal, this is what keeps me going. Those small moments when I can sneak in a few lessons and truly connect with kids. #BuccaneerPride #WeAreCrew

Day 6 of school and Learning Targets with reflection are already in place. I count this as a major win! @BuckhornCreekES

First grade @BuckhornCreekES is examining how tools make a difference in certain tasks. Which tool is best to flip something over?? #BuccaneerPride #BucsTreasureOthers

[Dr. Daniel Simons @DrDanielSimons]

Well day 2 was a hopper @BuckhornCreekES ! 13,000+ steps in but only got one picture. Good thing this one was fantastic one! #BuccaneerPride #BucsTreasureOthers

[Dr. Daniel Simons @DrDanielSimons]

Today moved so quickly but what an amazing first day @BuckhornCreekES . I got a few pictures but not many as I was trying to be in the moment and enjoy the kiddos. #BuccaneerPride #WeAreCrew

[Dr. Daniel Simons @DrDanielSimons]

Today we have been working to build our connections as a Crew! #BuccaneerPride #WeAreCrew

When the @BuckhornCreekES Admin Team escapes the building for lunch..fun is had. Having lunch together & leaving the school never happens. #BuccaneerPride #WeAreCrww

[Dr. Daniel Simons @DrDanielSimons]

We have spent 2 days planning the next steps for @BuckhornCreekES. Personal PD pathways for our Crew, tightening Crew Structures, and designing PD to deepen the @ELeducation Core Practices. Already getting excited for next school year! #BuccaneerPride #WeAreCrew
