Several years ago @fcpscanning introduced us to the 📚 Seeds and Trees by @DearMrWalden. Ever since then I have used it during the 1st wk. of 🏫 to build community and “ask and answer questions” about the text. I then do a follow up reflection assignment. See their 💭 👇🏻

When you have 500 students 8 years old and younger, it takes intentional planning, organizing & monitoring to make sure it all goes smoothly! This team has it covered! Morning arrival, school wide announcements and lots of smiles from Principal Fox and AP Sipe! #bettertogether
