Ms. Esquivel & I worked w/ 5th graders today on how to "blurb like college students" (annotate w/ shorthand notes) in both whole & small groups! The students rose to the challenge & had fun competing to create strong paraphrases. 🙌📚 #activereading #chunkandchew @PrincetonISD

Seeing Rockin Review come to life in real classrooms with real students across @PrincetonISD is energizing! 🙌 3rd–5th grade teachers are keeping learning engaging through meaningful games & activities while continuing to strengthen key skills. So great to see it in action! 💙📚

Rockin Review Day 2 is in full swing over here at Godwin Elementary! Students engaged in meaningful pre-reading and during-reading activities that helped them to actively think through and analyze text. #handson #exploration @lead4ward @PrincetonISD

Students at James Elem this AM were rockin' their review this morning! Kids were engaged in games and hands-on activities as they prepare for STAAR, which is only about 2 weeks away! @PrincetonISD @lead4ward

Rockin’ Review hit all the right notes today! 🎸🎶 Directors, Coordinators & IC's leaned in as learners—digging into high-impact, content-based STAAR review strategies we’re ready to share w/ @PrincetonISD teachers. This STAAR season will be a chart-topper! @lead4ward

@ChasityDBass @PrincetonISD Thanks! I'm still not over all the smells of "newness" in nearly every building around here. 🤪💟 And seeing the new campuses pop up is really neat!

@SSralonso @PrincetonISD Wow!!! Impressive!!

@PrincetonISD is blessed with beautiful, natural light-filled schools. 🤩 Bright spaces may seem small, but they set the tone! Class visits and connecting with teachers & kids in their element will always be the highlight of my job.

@pkehoe06 @BES_Cowboys Yes, yes, yes!! 🎉

Model it. Say it. Hear it. Explain it. Intentional language practice in Mrs. Dominguez’ Kindergarten class! @BES_Cowboys

You’re at a restaurant, The bill is $72-how much are you tipping? I’m trying to prove a point.

@ChasityDBass @GISDTLD @gisdnews Oooh, tell me more! Love this!

We are “The Brain Builders”! We are collaborating to create a literacy framework PreK-12!! Let’s go!! ⁦@GISDTLD⁩ #RBIS ⁦@gisdnews⁩

📣 EDUCATOR Friends‼️ @PrincetonISD is growing & we’re opening plenty of sections at existing & new campuses! We’re currently hiring for gen. ed. teachers, bilingual teachers ($10K stipend!!), campus interventionists, ICs & APs. Give me a shout if you are interested.

When students paraphrase, reading stops being passive and becomes a brain workout! 🧠 Putting ideas in their own words deepens understanding. Today, notetaking was consistently implemented in James's 3-5 classrooms. 🙌 #ReadyOrNotSTAAR #HereWeCome @PrincetonISD @rach_leeann

I spy an excellent language scaffold being used across @princetonisd campuses! 👀 Do you see it?! #shelteredinstruction #sentencestems

Strong vocabulary is key to closing #TheKnowledgeGap. Today at James, I saw several classrooms where vocabulary was woven seamlessly into lessons—intentional, natural, and impactful. 🌟 #WordPower #EquityInEducation @natwexler @PrincetonISD

Check out the “file pockets” Lowe’s 4th Graders keep within arm’s reach at all times while working. Building resourceful citizens — way to go, Ms. Perkins! @PrincetonISD

Building automaticity with sound–spelling patterns is the foundation of fluency — and the stamina students need to tackle bigger, more complex words. SGLI is well under way, here, in @PrincetonISD! 🙌📚

Look at the sheltered instruction support Ms. Allender has available for her students! Simple supports go a long way! @PrincetonISD

Got to meet some wonderful folks, see new, exciting curriculum resources & scored some goodies at the IMRA showcase today! @PrincetonISD @Region10ESC

@lisastewardRISD @RISDrla @kristinleeper9 Isn't it great?
