Our 3rd Annual International Lillian Day! (For her birthday in 6th grade she gifted me this ridiculous flag 😂) My very favorite part of my job—relationships matter even when they become big kids years later 🤍 @schroederms_gf
The perk of having some hardworking 6th graders who finish with their class work early: fixing their teacher’s wobbly desk!! Thanks so much, Callan and Parker!! @schroederms_gf#Every1Matters#Every1Fixes
Today I installed some extra “whiteboard” space on my cupboards with student shoutouts in mind! I can already tell I am going to LOVE this positive reinforcement visual in my classroom!!! @GFSchools@schroederms_gf#Every1Matters#Every1Seminars
I. Love. 6th Grade. I told this gal about a WACKY dream I had about her getting a new pink hairdo and today she surprised me with it. She radiates sunshine everyday and today, it’s pink and sunny in here 🩷 ☀️ @schroederms_gf@schroederms_gf#Every1Matters#Every1WigsOut
She may have moved on to 7th, but putting #relationshipsfirst calls for putting up the Mr. Worldwide banner for Natl Lillian Day!! Happy happy birthday to a very sweet gal who has great gift giving talent 😂🤍 @schroederms_gf They never stop being our students!
Day 1 of the snowstorm of the decade—lots of awesome 6s sending in pics of them working on their at home reading Bingo cards :-) Home readers make great readers! @schroederms_gf@GFSchools#Every1Matters#Every1Reads
This afternoon, our 6s had the privilege of watching our 7s and 8s put on an AWESOME matinee performance of Matilda—SO proud of these former students of the 6th grade wing! 🤍❤️🖤 @schroederms_gf@GFSchools#Every1Matters#Every1Performs
What do we do when our teacher realizes we are still struggling with the difference between “Big Idea” and “Theme”?! Practice and write on our desks about it, of course!! @GFSchools@schroederms_gf#EngagementStrategies
Our 6s are hard at work doing lots of choice reading, academic reading, and producing some of the most scholarly writing I’ve ever seen! Very proud of these kids and how much they’ve already grown since August! @schroederms_gf@GFSchools#Every1Matters#Every1Reads#Every1Writes
We also had the opportunity in our lesson today to share about books that changed our lives… and took the opportunity to have a student read “The Book With No Pictures”—> books that create memories can change our lives!! @GFSchools#Every1Matters#Every1Reads
