Miss Ullestad at Mill Street is making this online learning so fun and engaging! My daughter has had such a positive and happy experience being in her class! Huge shout out to ALL teachers - We see you. We appreciate you. #203Unites

Working with our math buddies is a great way to promote flexible thinking and collaboration! Practicing our math talk and persevering in solving problems. We love to stretch our thinking. Thank you @JulieComer9 for hosting @lhanish203 and I’s first grade mathematicians.

Thank you to Mrs.Comer’s honors math class for being our math buddies this year. Helping our first graders and inspiring collaborative work. Having conversations about their independent work and implementing our mathematical practice standards! #together203 #millstreetmustangs

Successful VR trip to Brazil, we have been studying and researching Brazil for a few weeks. We were able to experience everything we’ve learned through technology. Special thanks to @teachergolz for helping set this up! #millstreetmustangs

Students reflecting on their growth brings a huge smile to my face! So proud of all the hard working first graders! Can’t wait to see what they accomplish next! #Inspire203 #millstreetmustangs

Thank you to our fourth grade buddies for the help with our spring goal setting project! We have grown so much this year and look forward to the growth to come! #SELin203 #millstreetmustangs #goalsetting

First grade loves having our fifth grade buddies help us decorate our snowmen, use adjectives to describe our creation and practice our SEL skills by taking turns and sharing! #millstreetmustangs

Day 3 of our place value investigation! Student have used various math tools to group objects into tens and extra ones. Collaboration and inquiry based learning have helped us grow so much in first grade! We always keep our SEL goal in mind as we work! #millstreetmustangs

Working collaboratively in first grade to practice researching for our non fiction writing unit! We will apply our research to our own books! We also are practicing our SEL skills by taking turns, and helping our friends learn and grow! #handsonlearning #millstreetmustangs

Shout out to @Teacher4ESL for co teaching main idea and key details! So much engagement and so much growth! We love working together in 1-U to achieve our literary goals! #collaborate #Inspire203 #teachershelpingteachers #millstreetmustangs

Hands on learning is the best way to learn during literacy! Going on our non-fiction text feature hunt. Students teaching students is so rewarding to see. Teamwork and empathy at its finest! #welovetoread #Inspire203 #millstreetmustangs

Visual board for guided reading and math! Always have the SEL target for group work posted in the corner created by students!

Love working with our fourth grade buddies on literacy! Our fourth graders are teaching our first graders to decode and answer inferential comprehension questions. A big thank you to our fourth graders for crafting and asking questions. #millstmustangs #Collaboration

Loving our 3rd grade tech buddies. Introducing the first graders to chrome books. Practicing our literacy skills, learning new tech skills and becoming a responsible digital citizen is a great way to be ready for second grade! #technology #Inspire203 @mrreynoso12

We love learning about central message in first grade. Incorporating SEL into our reading lessons helps us be better friends and students while we learn! #SELin203 #millstreetmustangs

Creating proficiency scales together in first grade helps us understand our target in student friendly language and what is expected of us as writers. Also it helps us accurately self assess and succeed! #millstreetmustangs #powerfulconversations

Labeling children by their level is detrimental to their self-esteem, their engagement, and, ultimately, their progress. The truth is that children can read books on a wide variety of levels, and in fact, they experience many different levels of books across the day. #FPLiteracy

More exciting news today! @naperville203 named the 2018 #1 school district in America out of 500 districts by National Council for Home Safety and Security! alarms.org/best-school-di…

Student led read alouds are a great way to learn from our peers and discover books from our classroom library! Plus we love to demonstrate our progress in reading! #millstreetmustangs #firstgrade
