Day 1 of welcoming some amazing educators to the Sycamore Spring Family! District welcome, attendance zone tour, campus tour, and scavenger hunt...just an average day for these rockstars! (Photos from the scavenger hunt!) #sycaMOREyr6 #iamDSISD

Any elementary educators have an HMH Into Reading and TEKS Resource Scope and Sequence Correlation Chart? This would be soooo helpful! #hmhintoreading #HMH #houghtonmifflenharcourt #TEKSResource #RegionXIIIESC #texasreading #texasliteracy

Please retweet this! We are in need of some teachers and I want students to start this year off right! We have the best kids and staff! Come join us!

Kindergarten team is hard at work learning from their students' writing! Celebrating growth and making plans for even more growth! #sycaMOREyr5 #PLCinDSISD #iamDSISD

Great learning today! Strategies that apply to all students for all teachers. #iamDSISD #SSMSyr5

Mr. L created a periodic table from his students’ element projects! Love how it turned out. The students love seeing their work on the wall too! 😃 @SycamoreSprgsMS #iamdsisd

Small group instruction is so important to balance with those amazing class discussions! Mrs. Lehde rocks it out with her reading skill group and notes to keep track of her students' growth. Intentionality + targeted skills = ALL students learn! #iamDSISD #sycaMOREyr5

Mrs. Evans's 2nd Grade partners work together on a series of problems all around the room, modeling their work on number lines, and explaining their thinking to teach others. Mrs. Evans checks in with the groups and poses questions to rev up thinking. #iamDSISD #sycaMOREyr5

Kindergarten Graphing! Data, academic vocabulary, counting, sorting and color words ~ All-in-one! #iamDSISD #sycaMOREyr5

2nd grade is all about the money! Finding the value of some October words means recognizing the coin, its value, and then using addition to find the sum! #iamDSISD #SycaMOREyr5 #SSES2ndGrade

Pre-K Awesomeness! Name recognition, counting, data collection, community all-in-one. Mrs. Bernhard's class shared that data is information we can see. #SycaMOREyr5 #SSES #PreKQuickCheck #iamDSISD

Professor and author Pam Harris spent time with DSISD fourth- and fifth-grade math teachers during their professional development day. Her presentation focused on developing mathematical reasoning and helping teachers build powerful numeracy in their classrooms. #DrivingSuccess

Fourth grade teachers! I've made @openmiddle Depth of Knowledge matrices to show how a single math problem can replace an entire worksheet in fourth grade. Download it now here: robertkaplinsky.com/depth-of-knowl… #MTBoS #iteachmath

New post @https://coachingthroughthecalendar.com ~ March Madness has us considering how to prepare our students to finish strong! #instructionalcoaching #MarchClassroom #SelfEfficacy #Competition #iamdsisd

Today, I am directing every state to prioritize educators for vaccination. We want every educator, school staff member, and child-care worker to receive at least one shot by the end of this month. It’s time to treat in-person learning like the essential service that it is.

New at coachingthroughthecalendar.com using the inspiration of March's contrasts to create impact, interest, and focus int he classroom. #instructionalcoaching #coachingthroughthecalendar #Marchclassroom #studentimpact #iamDSISD

Join us tomorrow night for some bedtime stories! Love, Mrs. Ray❤️#Sycamoreyr4
