My heart melts seeing Power Hour lessons happening in the classroom, complete with questioning, critical thinking, discussion & collaboration- all taught by a student teacher!! Well done! @MES_MathCIC @MES_Lions @jensmith207 @NicoleG_MES @EmilyLoftin4

Congratulations to our 3rd grade student teacher- Ms. Huynh for receiving a scholarship from the New Braunfels Retired Teachers Association! You are going to be a fabulous teacher! @EmilyLoftin4 @jensmith207 @KimmyBennett_ @MichiNicole11 #mesjoy

I think this is my favorite valentines present so far 🥬 #MESistheBEST #3rdgrade #garden

Q3: I think it’s important to keep parents informed with what we are doing in class and the language used throughout the school year! I also think it would be good for parents have the opportunity to ask questions so they can continue the conversations at home! #MESLeads

Q2: My personal goal this year is to spend more intentional time with my family and friends!! #MESLeads

Q1: I think it is important for the students to see their growth! I plan on tracking their MAP scores and CA’s throughout the school year and understand what those scores mean! #MESLeads

"How we use our power is the measure of our leadership." @djstrickland #GLS18

Q3: As much as I would love to have everything decorated and ready to go, I believe there is something great to be said about having students help and find ways to display goals, the 7 Habits and anything else to show the great work and progress being done! #MESLeads

Q2: Beginning with the end in mind and synergy. As a campus I feel we do a goood job at giving ourself a goal and reaching that goal. Along with that I feel I can go to anyone for help or asssistance to find ways to better myself and my teaching! #MESLeads

Q1: I want to be very purposeful with the launguage used in my classroom. I plan on incorporating reminders for myself and the students around my classroom and in the hallways!! #MESLeads

Q3: I’m looking forward to reading about how I can teach and apply the 7 habits in my own classroom. I know every classroom will look different, but I’m motivated to find the way that works the best for my classroom! #MESLeads

Q2: The more our students hear it the more they will believe it. Our students need to understand that that it is apart of our whole school not just one classroom. This in turn will allow them to connect it to their life outside of school and apply it to their future. #MESLeads

Q1: Self-motivation, empathy, leadership, and ownership are some of the qualities that allow students to be successful. Showing them this at an early stage in their life is giving them so many more opportunities to find their definition of success in life. #MESLeads

We love risk-takers! Beginning the morning with Translating the Expression or Equation. Check out Michelle Kiers from @MES_Lions presenting her thinking to our community! #EdCollab18

20% hour included building our wind cars! @MES_Lions

The kids seemed to enjoy their garden time! (Even in the heat)

Happy #internationaldotday
