Time to shine! Our 5th graders knocked our socks off with their Journey to Success defenses!

[St. Matthews Elem @st_mattelem]

We were blown away with our 5th grade defenses this week! Watch out JCPS Middle Schools - here they come and they’re amazing!!!

[St. Matthews Elem @st_mattelem]

Our 5th graders rock!!! Their Journey to Success is happening!

[St. Matthews Elem @st_mattelem]

Did your 5th graders defenses include walk up songs? Didn’t think so. That’s why our Tigers are THE BEST!!!

[Jen Gray @jenrileygray]

So excited to kick off the final round of musicals for 2023! Did you know at SME, every student is in a musical every year? @st_mattelem

The rain can’t stop our annual tradition of cheering veterans in the Mission BBQ parade! @st_mattelem @MissionBBQ

Conversations around CFAs and data is what drives this amazing @st_mattelem 1st grade collaborative team! Very deserving of the Champion PLC nomination 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @JCPSAsstSuptTL @TeachandLearnEA @JCPSAsstSuptES3

Rather than grading homework, invite students to self-assess on three criteria:

1. I need more challenge.

2. I need more practice.

3. I need help.

Start class in differentiated groups around these needs.

We need to pay extra attention to current third graders because the pandemic disrupted their kindergarten and first grade years when they were supposed to learn foundational reading skills. @jillbarshay @hechingerreport
