Thought for the day: Don’t lose sight of the fact that sometimes learning can be more about the skills learned during the process than it is about the success of the final product...via #Culturize

Star Wars themed musical chairs! Fourth graders loved reviewing fractions with this @lead4ward strategy #weareWetmore #gopublic

Although we were sad to miss our field trip to the Alamo today, we made the best of it and created some great art depicting Spanish Missions in San Antonio. #weareWetmore #rainydays #fourthgradefun

A6: If our ultimate desire is to cultivate cultures of excellence where people feel secure in striving for greatness, then we must learn to navigate around the status quo. #neisdpln #weareWetmore #Culturize

How cool is it that @casas_jimmy is in our chat! Who would have thought that a few years ago a book study would be on Twitter and the author would just jump in! #neisdpln

[Katie Garant @MissGarant]

@JulieNall1 Totally agree! 😂

A6: Refresh your mindset so you see the role of teacher or principal as a way of life, not as a job or a title. #neisdpln #weareWetmore #Culturize

[Katie Garant @MissGarant]

A4: Sometimes the hardest thing to change is our mindset. Being open-minded breeds innovation and excitement in the classroom! #neisdpln #weareWetmore #Culturize

[Katie Garant @MissGarant]

A3: Continue to encourage those on the awesome train! Be the positive force that will inspire change in others, offer a helping hand when you see someone struggling. #neisdpln #weareWetmore #Culturize

[Katie Garant @MissGarant]

A2: Prioritize the most important tasks and utilize resources (teammates, district resources, technology) effectively. Work together and divide the tasks to save valuable time #neisdpln #weareWetmore #Culturize

A1: Being new to my campus this year has given me an opportunity to meet and interact with some amazing educators! I try to surround myself with people who have a positive outlook on life and the teaching profession. #neisdpln #weareWetmore #Culturize

Fourth graders had so much fun learning all about electrical circuits and then collaborated to create a complete circuit! 💡#wearewetmore

[Katie Garant @MissGarant]

A5: I strive to be a champion to students every day. Most days it is in the small moments: a high five and smile in the morning, an encouraging word to a struggling student, making sure students feel included. #neisdpln #culturize #WeareWetmore

[Katie Garant @MissGarant]

A4: It breaks my heart to hear a student say they aren’t smart enough. Kids are hard enough on themselves - they deserve an educator who genuinely believes that they can. I work through this by believing in my students 100% and setting high expectations. #neisdpln #WeareWetmore
