This week, 5th Grade ELA Champions-representing each school in the district-studied how to “Read like Writers” @ConferringCarl Mentor Texts with @ReadWithMalcolm The Magician’s Hat for what was real ✨ magic ✨ in showing, not telling, Author’s Craft @my_pcs @slaughter_holly

I visited Southern Oak ES and Ms. Otto’s class last week and can attest to great culture and high academic outcomes in her classroom!

Happy #WorldOctopusDay! A large Patagonian red octopus, Enteroctopus megalocyathus, rests on a bed of sea urchins at Isla de los Estados, Argentina in this image from our archives

Never met a Book Fair we didn’t like! Glad to be at Skyview ES today and buy books alongside 2nd & 4th Grade 📖 💵 📚 @my_pcs

@slaughter_holly @slaughter_holly omg 🤸‍♀️ 🤸‍♀️ the best timing!

@my_pcs 5th Graders are so lucky that such a rare find is now in our own back yard. Bringing the stories of courage & hope of the Danish Resistance during the Holocaust to life in a way you could never write into curriculum. Thank you @FLHolocaustMus

Special viewing of “Thor” on the 80th Anniversary of the Danish Rescue. A peak at the @FLHolocaustMus Collections, Preservations Research Center & speeches by the women who made this rare find happen-whose parents were among Jews rescued on fishing boats just like “Thor”.

We had a hefty agenda for 3 hours: from Levels of Student Engagement thanks to our learning from @DFISHERSDSU to the relevance and “why” of what we do. @my_pcs 23/24 5th Grade ELA Champions is in the books. 💡 🧠

So much fun with some of @my_pcs at the @CFPExtraYard Alumni Event with @educationUSF 💚🏈💛 @2022FloridaTOY @educhris5

School murals not only beautify a campus but display the values and personality of a site. The 2nd year in a row our Coaching Institute brought us to Ponce de Leon Elementary and drew us towards this campus mural giving us Panther Pride, as well 🐾 @my_pcs @2022FloridaTOY

Where it all began. My first 12 years teaching 5th grade were in this classroom. Jumping in to teach yesterday felt like being back at home ❤️📖 @my_pcs

Dodgeball w/ paper, giant Uno, cheering (screaming) in a battle of Rock, Paper, Scissors…Integrating games, competition, music, movement and collaboration into content. All that we want with students and teachers we did today with the Teaching & Learning Dept @my_pcs

Year #2 of my First Day of School looking different than it used to, but the Birds Eye View of all that goes into a single school day, let alone day 1, continues to amaze & impress me 🍎 ✏️ @my_pcs

Our podcast has returned- back to school & the importance of perspective 💡

Providing support & gradually removing it as students gain more confidence and capability. A full day with our @my_pcs 5th Grade Teachers creating scaffolds for Writing Pop-Up groups. ✏️ 💡

Final PD of the summer was another successful one 🎉 Pop-Up Small Groups: A Simple, Yet Powerful Approach to Differentiate ELA Instruction 📚 @my_pcs

Two Summer trainings down, 1 to go before the 23-24 school year kicks off. @my_pcs 5th grade readers & writers are in great hands with these literacy leaders. 📚

@varshabajaj @my_pcs Thank you! Excited to share your message with our readers 📖 📚 @varshabajaj

@Kate_E_Wilson1 @my_pcs I hope you embrace Minni and her story with all your heart. Like Minni, don’t quit dreaming when life gets difficult.

Thank you! 💧
