Leeds Elementary

What a way to start the week! Team elephant ⁦@LeedsES⁩ Kindergarten as we finished the Goose Chase Treasure Hunt looking for numbers 6-10 in hidden places in the school. This team is the best (especially the one with a Husker shirt)! ⁦@siouxcityschool⁩

One classroom, many seating options! I suspect I would have focused better in this third grade classroom with so many options to get the wiggles out. @siouxcityschool The staff @LeedsES is incredible and student focused!! #FutureReady

Our @LeedsES students would like to thank a few of the dedicated educators who have inspired them to succeed. View more on Facebook! #SuccessorySaturday #SCCSD

Due to weather conditions no school today!

REMINDERS!🌟There will be NO SCHOOL TOMORROW Monday, February 26 and NO SCHOOL Friday, March 2 due to conferences.

Ask anyone what their best teachers had in common. Often the word "fun" appears. "Children should not be surprised by joy." twitter.com/sel4ma/status/…

"The single greatest determinant of learning is not socioeconomic factors or funding levels. It is instruction." #ICTT2017 #SCCSD

Good school culture is not the result of programs and gimmicks. It's the result of the adults in the school doing what's best for kids.

Kinder Ts @LeedsES are rockstars making their classrooms #futureready #sccsd #sccsdtlc

When it goes well, praise the team. When it doesn't, take the blame. twitter.com/jeff_zoul/stat…

To move from compliance to commitment, we must shift our mindset to get beyond the doing & into the messy & critical world of thinking.
