Amazing thinking happening today as Hybrid Math students analyzed and drew conclusions using various data representations! #buildingthinkingclassrooms @LoneStarElem @pgliljedahl @KISDMathSquad

Repost today for a chance to win the first #LuckHappens VIP Experience on April 5 from @TexasLottery during the Silver Boot Series! Must be 18 or older to enter.

So proud to work with this amazing teacher and teammate!

First time at our vertical workstations in a while. Love the rich conversations and thinking by EVERY student when we work at these! #buildingthinkingclassrooms @pgliljedahl @KISDMathSquad @LoneStarElem

ICYMI: @CBSNewsTexas shared about @LoneStarElem's mission to promote inclusivity and kindness as the only nationally recognized Unified Champion elementary school in the state. #CelebrateKISD youtube.com/watch?v=0DXlXb…

So proud of these kiddos! Ready to see them rock it in the finals!

Thank you @PinkAggie08 for the BEST Red Ribbon Week door! The kids LOVE it and it’s been a hit with everyone who has seen it. So thankful for creative people who take on these tasks! #AddamsFamily #RedRibbonWeek #learninganddrugfree

Public Education is in serious trouble! Please, please, please educate yourself on what is going on in the Texas Legislature, contact your representatives, and VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Finally got our vertical whiteboard stations up and running to incorporate @pgliljedahl #BuildingThinkingClassrooms strategies! Everyone was talking, collaborating, writing, and most importantly THINKING! Can’t wait for our next task! @LoneStarElem @KISDMathSquad

Another day of my Hybrid math students blowing me away with their ability to think critically! Today we created decimal numbers that met certain criteria to see how place value and # of digits affects how decimals compare to each other! @KISDMathSquad @LoneStarElem

Our 4th graders are becoming great communicators! @LoneStarElem

Great discussion in Hybrid Math as we deserted thoughts on block “labels” and rigid place value columns to use base 10 blocks to represent decimals in lots of ways! I wish I had taken a picture before erasing the board, they thought of so much more! @KISDMathSquad @LoneStarElem

These kids impress me everyday! So lucky to be their teacher and share them with amazing arts educators like @LSES_music!

@perla_pearls10 @FRES117 @KISDMathSquad Love this! May have to steal for next year!

We are finishing strong! My students created board games as a final project, and those games are including many of the skills they learned in HM! I’m SO proud of them! @FRES117 #eagleSOAR @KISDMathSquad #chargernation

End of the year checklist time! So sad to see @lindilambert1 leave LSE, hanging the bosses chair, wrapping things up with the best nurse, and @ChelbeyTatum and I trying to keep our sanity with the infamous office cow! #LSERocks #CelebrateKISD @LoneStarElem

Got the sweetest gift from a student today! Love the personalization that went into this…all the way down to the bun on top of my head!

Completely in denial about not having this sweet friend to spend my Friday mornings with anymore! We’ve been Buddies for ~10 years! Going to miss you! #LSERocks #CelebrateKISD @LoneStarElem

@lse_theatre Me too!

I received the coolest gift today! The hair color is even spot on. Love it!

@SteveHurst75 is the reason @LoneStarElem is #theplacetobe. His leadership, the fact that he is a champion for all kids, and the family he has built on the campus makes this award well deserved! Congrats!

If you’re lucky, you get to know and work with this fabulous lady! If you’re extra lucky, you get to have her as your work wife, the other half of your teacher brain and hands down the best teaching partner! So proud of you @LSE_SRollings and thankful for our partnership!
