No better way to end the week than Mystery Google Meet in fourth grade! Loved hearing all of the awesome geography questions our students came up with and getting to learn about South Dakota! 🗺

@KilianElemMusic @coachhouselk5 We (and our kids!) are so lucky that you joined our district this year! 🎶

@MrsFerrante Thanks @MrsFerrante 😘 It’s easy to be positive when you work with such an incredible team!

[Mallory Farrands @M_Farrands]

@MrsFerrante They were all so excited to share about this with me during lunch yesterday! What a wonderful group!

Being an educator for a long time does not make you a better educator.

Continually getting better through learning from mistakes, trying new things, and being a lifelong learner can make you a better educator.

Next “first day:” all staff report! Amazing energy as the whole Bulldog family gathered for the first time since August 2019. Jamming with our HS band, celebrating our new staff, and being welcomed by our new fearless leader - no better way to start the year! #BSSDProud

There's been a lot of attention on learning loss, but framing student learning that way is a deficit perspective. If students see adults in their lives recognizing the ways that they have grown, it communicates to kids that they are resilient. @NimahGobir https://t.co/05P3BH3lpI

Today was our first “first day” of the school year with an incredible group: our new professional staff! Welcoming these wonderful people into the Bulldog family & touring our beautiful community is one of my favorite days of the year! #BSSDProud

@MrsABlanton Happy Day 1! Hope you have a wonderful start to your year - your kiddos are so lucky to have you!

[Mallory Farrands @M_Farrands]

@MrsFerrante Woohoo! I’m so happy it was helpful & that the students are enjoying them - it’s been incredible to watch our classroom communities come together this week!

Teachers, it’s okay to have a lesson plan fall apart sometimes. Tacos fall apart and we still love them! 🌮

@Ms_Hetrick @Radiolab Concur with @MrNerone about most of his suggestions, especially @anthroreviewed

[Mallory Farrands @M_Farrands]

@Ms_Hetrick @thememorypalace is one of my absolute favorites, & it would be a great to model how you can use creative writing/narrative with historical facts. Episodes are relatively short (10-15 min) - ep 94 is the one that initially got me hooked
