Mrs. Hightower's Class

Students greeting and cheering friends as they enter class in the mornings makes my heart joyful! #relationshipsmatters @windsongelem

We are very thankful to our WRE parents for sharing their passions and learning about these career paths for our future selves. @windsongelem

We were super excited for our amazing author visit today. Thank you @MaxBrallier for inspiring readers and sharing your passion @windsongelem!

Our Grandparents/Special Friends Luncheon is always a wonderful experience. Grateful for these opportunities together we cultivate @windsongelem

Fourth grade loved their field trip to Richland HS to view the theater performance of The Little Mermaid! Well done, Richland Theater students!

It was amazing watching these forever learners take ownership of their learning and empowering each other. Jigsaw activity for the win! @windsongelem

Analyzing poetry is more fun together BUT getting immediate feedback after deliberating answers is very satisfying! @windsongelem

Our poetry open mic was amazing! I am very proud of these talented poets who jumped into our poetry unit with passion and enthusiasm.

Students discover how poets use imagery, figurative language, and poetry elements in poems. @windsongelem

Students worked hard applying plot elements from our text on a plot mountain diagram. Together We Cultivate!🙌 @windsongelem

4th grade is excited for another amazing year @windsongelem! #2025weprosper

We summed up our last day of school with fun activities to remember all the good times, all we’ve learned, and hugs as a class family. I will miss these smart, hardworking, and kind students but I can’t wait to see their impact on the world. @windsongelem

Students are highly engaged, actively searching clues, talking and asking questions but it's the productive struggle and deductive reasoning that shines. Ingenious book! @windsongelem

Our Prosper PD is amazing! The students can’t wait for these daily videos. The jokes get mixed reviews but much anticipated. 😆 Thank you for your impact!

What a beautiful and fun way to start our week!! WRE PTO is the best! Thank you for the build your own flower bouquet and yummy cupcakes. Happy hearts bloom @windsongelem!

Ended Hope Week with planting a flower in our garden to remind us that we all can plant seeds of hope and kindness in making our world a beautiful and better place. @windsongelem

It was great to see our WRE families celebrating cultures and literacy from around the world. 4th grade enjoyed hosting Australia. @windsongelem

4th graders learned about some amazing jobs from these fabulous volunteers. Thank you very much for sharing your careers and planting seeds for our future selves. @windsongelem

We loved the Alamo Break Out activity that our fabulous librarian @heatherdgaravag created. It was very engaging, informative, and fun! @windsongelem

Argumentative text - students work in groups discussing author’s purpose, claim, and supporting evidence. Ended with a debate on do we agree or disagree with the passage. #studentdiscoursegalore @windsongelem
