Another great day on vacation with an inspiring read! If you haven't got your hands on @jess_vanceEDU book-you need to! #inquiry #inquirymindset

This morning we had our 3rd mentor meeting for 5th Grade Exhibition @SpicewoodPYP! Thank you to the nearly 40 @WWarriorNation IB students who facilitated conversations on where SS are in the #pypx process! Save the date April 22nd 8:30-10AM.

Thank you @PtaSpicewood for creating an environment for everyone to come together to celebrate, learn, and engage with different cultures. One World One Night was just what my heart needed! @SpicewoodPYP

Specials collab is happening now! Loving the conversations and brainstorming of learning experiences! @seemore_w_cimo @SpicewoodLib @SWES_Counseling @Klovert5th @SteinburgPYP

Market day is Friday! Our 2nd graders are using the knowledge and skills they've developed to create advertisements for their products and the excitement is building! #SWESMarketDay @msevanspyp2nd @brzykcy_thirdIB

Yesterday, early career teachers received a message from Dr. Amy Grosso, Director of Behavioral Health Services for RRISD. Her Mental Health Minute focused on analyzing what's inside and outside of our control. Give it a watch! #RRISDNewTeacherNovember @RoundRockISD @AmyLGrosso

I love this! Kids setting their own goals-focusing on the process!

"Yoda" dropped off this surprise today and literally couldn't have been a better day to do so! So much to be thankful for! Happy Friday! @MrsGuySwes - "You da" best!

Today was a great day of reflection, connection, and collaboration. Loved my time with 3rd Grade today! @SpicewoodPYP @rrisdib @Sw3Rios @KendraBallanty4 @jillweaverPYP

Thank you @PtaSpicewood and the Spicewood community for helping prep our learning garden! It looks great! @SpicewoodPYP

I loved this Mindset Monday morning question: What is one thing you can't do yet? It made me stop and think what am I working towards, and what steps am I taking to get their? #growthmindset #powerofyet #reflection

@JensenPYPclass So proud of you for taking that leap!

Thank you to our @SWE_PTA for these adorable donuts today!! @SWESPrincipal @MsAPeoples @SpicewoodPYP

What educators have endured during the pandemic and what lies ahead, is leaving many of them feeling anxious, depressed, & overwhelmed. An underutilized benefit is our EAP. Please encourage any colleagues struggling with mental health concerns to check it out. Link in comments.❤️

Informal conversations, check-ins, and icebreakers build community. They can make our time together more productive and positive. I've compiled a collection of conversation starters to save teachers time! #slide=id.ge775ddf829_0_0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/presentation/d… #edchat #education #teaching #BackToSchool

Thank you @EdieBinnsRRISD for a great first day connecting and reflecting-looking forward to growing with this amazing group of leaders!

@trev_mackenzie It reminded me of this graphic from your book!

@PYPOates Thank you Jessica!

Such a good reminder as we start a new school year.

Loved learning and collaborating with other PYP Coordinators! @IBLANEPYP @mikaburkett
