Congratulations to Ms. Katie Arp for being selected as our Teacher of the Year! 🎈📚🎉🍎👋 We are so proud of you and the impact you continue to make with so many of our Walden Lake Eagles each and every day!!! 😊❤ @HCPSArea5@HcpsTeach@HillsboroughSch@MsArpWLE
Check out my summer book recommendation, The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate. It’s one of my absolute faves!! (and the movie is coming out next year!) Enjoy! 🦍🐘🐘🐕📚#WLESummerReads@HCPSWaldenLake@SarahESchafer
This year will bring new staff members, new students, and new parents. Not all of them will like you. That is ok. Be nice anyway and take the high road--because you're awesome. #teachergoals#edchat
Would you like to volunteer this year? Volunteer opportunities include working at the school, in the classroom, running copies, chaperoning a field trip and more. Please go on-line & complete your volunteer application for the 2018-19 school year. These must be renewed each year.
So #proud of our sweet Eagles for showing Random Acts of Kindness! These two students raised money with their lemonade stand to help others impacted by the hurricanes! @HCPSArea6@HCPSCommunity
A5: Research, social media and blogs, and continual growth! I have loved this (my first) Twitter PD because I feel so inspired and empowered by reading everyone's posts. The positivity is contagious! 😍📚 #hcpsread
A4: Research, knowledge, and experience. All of this paired with going the extra mile to prove to students, families, everyone that reading is the one thing that can really open all of the doors to success in a student's life, now and in the future! #hcpsread
@SarahESchafer Yes! I really want to see if I can try to implement some of these things in this last month. Maybe that will make it easier to begin with in August!! HELP! 😝
A3: Conferring and digging into data with Ss, helping them recognize their strengths and find those things they can work on to improve is so much more effective and useful than just asking them to show what they know and giving them a grade. #hcpsread
A2: Thinking about assessment as inquiry means that so many things we do all day long are opportunities for assessment. We get to learn new things about our Ss while they're learning from each other and from us! #hcpsread
