Sporting Hill Elem.

Today was 'Move Up Day' at @SPHBulldogs Students visited the next grade level teaching teams and classrooms to hear all about the fun they will have next year. This helps reduce the anxiety about the first day of school. #WeAreConfident

How we use our instructional time REALLY matters and is worth paying attention to. Little chunks of time add up quickly. Those minutes might be that second dose that some of our students need.

Our awesome @SPHBulldogs principal, Mrs. Shaddock, and our awesome PTO always make us feel loved!! #HappyValentinesDay

We learned about an appanaug 'a clam bake feast' in our #CKLA @Amplify Native American unit lesson today. Then we acted it out to make the knowledge stick. Now I'm hungry for seafood! #CVLiteracy

You, your friends, and your family are cordially invited to attend Finding Nemo, Jr. at Sporting Hill Elementary School on Friday, December 1 at 7 pm or Saturday, December 2 at 2 pm. See you then! #CVproud #eaglesareconfident #eaglesareresponsible

Welcoming Miss Susan from the Fredricksen Library to read a fiction book about leaves to our @SPHBulldogs k classes. She made a craft and the students told her the leaves they made were from deciduous trees. #vocabulary #CKLA @Amplify #CVliteracy #plants

Parent conference day yesterday. Loved talking to the parents and sharing my pride in their children. Only a 20 minute gap for lunch. OUR AWESOME @SPHBulldogs PTO TO THE RESCUE WITH BOXED LUNCHES FOR STAFF! I really appreciated it!

🧰 Making the shift to a Science of Reading-based curriculum isn't a light lift or a quick fix, but it's one worth making. ⁣ ⁣⁣Discover what the Science of Reading is, and isn't, and how you can move toward this approach in your classrooms: amplify.com/science-of-rea…

Former student walking down the hall crying. She said she just felt sad. I made a goofy smile, pretended to rip it off my face and told her she could borrow it. Next day, she comes in smiling, tells me she found her smile and I can have mine back. #teachers

Exciting things are happening during 1st grade math! Using number sense and patterns to help solve subtraction problem. #improvingmath #mathisfun @SPHBulldogs

Leadership is hard. Nobody said it would be easy. 🔺When people talk about you, keep leading. 🔹When people compliment you, keep leading. 🔺When your hard work goes unnoticed, keep leading. Why? Because we are in the kid business. Kids are the reason schools exist. It isn’t about you or me. It’s about kids. When things are good, bad or ugly, keep leading. When we keep showing up to lead, that’s when success will follow. That’s when kids’ pathways will be redirected. And that is when we know we are changing the world. KEEP. LEADING.

Happy Custodian Appreciation Day to our fantastic crew, Michelle, Randy, Jose, and Ralph! You make @SPHBulldogs shine! #CVproud

The kids had fun acting out 'The Lion and the Mouse'. #CVliteracy #CKLA @Amplify

Bringing words to life! Our kindergarten students just learned nursery rhymes in their CKLA unit and went outside to practice the vocabulary of “running up the hill to fetch a pail of water” and then “tumbling down”. #ckla #amplify #cvliteracy @SPHBulldogs

I also enjoy using 10 frame magnetic handle boards when we do #CKLA 1 to 1 sound matching. It provides instant formative assessment allowing me to go back to an 'I do' or 'We do' if needed. It also ensures 100% engagement. #CVliteracy @Amplify @SPHBulldogs
